Anyone looking at an empty page trying to write a song lyric sits in the shadow of the mountain that was Leonard Cohen. He knew the exact weight and flavour of every word and phrase he used and applied them with the precision of a surgeon. His unique voice painted unforgettable pictures that will stay with me, and my generation, until we drop. I am delighted to be a part of ‘Here it Is’. Larry, I’ve known, worked with and respected for a long time and I knew he would create something special. He has assembled an extraordinary group of musicians, all wonderful players who know well both how to bring something to life and how to stay out of the way of a great song. I’m sure this record will pass the test of time. – pg Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen, is released today on @bluenoterecords.
