A Thousand Kisses Deep
Just bought my 10th "new" copy of the Leonard Cohen 10 new Songs CD today- as it keeps being gifted, borrowed - or otherwise somehow misplaced.
Understandably so, as this is a magical collection of songs from Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson, post Mount Baldy Zen monastery. Cohen spent over 6 years studying and became a monk. According to LC, he stayed there as long as he did because he longed to free himself of depression and would not return until he felt he had.
These talented artists collaborated on what many believe is one of his best collections of songs. One after another, mesmerizing. Painter and friend, Tim Weldon turned me on to this in his Tiburon gallery space, where quite literally art patrons would become transfixed on a certain painting and almost always ask "what is this we are listening to?"
Collection includes my favorites...In My Secret Life, A Thousand Kisses Deep and Back on Boogie Street...
