Old Ideas - Leonard Cohen


"Leonard Cohen has a new album out: Old Ideas, his 12th, and his first in seven years. He's 77 now, and if you know Cohen you know his age will get its due in the new songs. The title, of course, has a double meaning, the second being that these songs are ideas about getting old. His life is his wellspring, and life has amounted to a long and singularly winding road for this troubadour. Born in Montreal in 1934 of Polish and Lithuanian Jewish parents, Cohen was first a modestly successful poet."
