Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits album flac

The Best of Leonard Cohen is a greatest hits album by Leonard Cohen, released in 1975. In some European countries, it was released under the title Greatest Hits. This alternative title was used for the original vinyl release and for CD reissues from the 1980s onwards.

After Leonard Cohen’s passing last week at age 82, it seemed only right to celebrate his greatest musical moments. So today we offer a two-disc-length roundup of his greatest songs. As with all entries in this series, they’re presented not in ranked form, but as a compilation playlist meant to flow in a listenable sequence. Songs of Love and Hate doesn’t have hits. Not that any of his albums did, necessarily, not in the traditional sense. But this album in particular comprised bleak, defeated dirges of depression, suicide and other atrocities. Famous Blue Raincoat is perhaps the best known song from the album, a ballad written in the form of a letter to an unnamed person who had an affair with his lover. And in that sense, it’s just as sad as any other song on the album, though not as harrowing as Dress Rehearsal Rag nor as manic and apocalyptic as Diamonds In the Mine.

The Best of Leonard Cohen samples 12 of the many highlights from the singer's first four studio LPs. With a heavy emphasis on the debut Songs of Leonard Cohen and its follow-up Songs From a Room, the set includes such masterpieces as "Suzanne," "So Long, Marianne" and "Bird on the Wire," as well as later efforts including "Chelsea Hotel" and "Famous Blue Raincoat.

Leonard Cohen Format: Vinyl. Cohen completists would also be interested in Essential Leonard Cohen, but note that album does not include Lady Midnight or Last Year's Man. What I found especially impressive on listening to this album again, were the brilliant arrangements and especially the siren-like quality of the female vocals so perfectly framing Cohen's voice. These songs just sound better and better as the decades pass.
