To sing Leonard Cohen is a daring project. In that sense, Swedish vocalist Lena Mandotter is almost foolhardy to release her new album "Songs of Leonard Cohen". But she is pretty confident that this album will go down well, even among the most loyal Cohen fans. Lena recorded the songs with a small, acoustic band with the ambition to perform the songs in a personal but still respectful way. Chello, guitars, bouzouki, mandola. The arrangements are tasteful, yet imaginative. And they create the perfect backup to her magnificent, deep voice. Includes such well-known Cohen songs as "By the River Dark", "Dance Me to the End of Love", "Famous Blue Raincoat" and many more. 10 tracks.
