Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled from various global performances spanning his massive 2008-2009 comeback tour, this collection acts as an elegant victory lap for the legendary poet. Despite being well into his seventies, Cohen's deeply resonant baritone perfectly commands the lush, jazz-inflected backing band, delivering incredibly poignant reinterpretations of his most iconic material.
