| Leonard Cohen's Re-Issues Legacy Records will release Cohen's first three albums, Songs of Leonard Cohen, Songs From A Room, and Songs Of Love And Hate on CD April 24th and in conjunction with the release of the reissues Legacy will also release Anjani's Blue Alert, which was produced by Cohen, on the same date. The liturgy of timeless songs to be found on Cohen's first three albums has mystified poets and professors for ages. And so the stage is set to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Cohen's debut album. For the first time in the digital era, expanded editions of Songs Of Leonard Cohen, Songs From A Room, and Songs Of Love And Hate will arrive in stores April 24th on Columbia/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. Each will contain previously unreleased bonus material of monumental historical importance to Cohen aficionados, as well as separate newly commissioned liner notes essays written by Rolling Stone contributing editor (and Cohen devotee) Anthony DeCurtis. Each will be specially packaged in a hardcover digipak configuration, similar to Legacy's June Carter Cash retrospective of last year, Keep On the Sunny Side. In conjunction with these, Anjani's Blue Alert will be issued in a special two-disc digipak. The CD features ten tracks while the bonus DVD will contain two music video clips (”The Mist” and “Thanks For the Dance”) and behind-the-scenes interviews and recording studio footage. Of the many protgs and disciples who have spread their wings and found a kindred spirit in Leonard Cohen, none is more intriguing than singer-songwriter Anjani Thomas. Now signed to Columbia alongside Cohen, Anjani is set to release Blue Alert. The album's ten songs were written by Cohen and Anjani, she arranged the music and accompanied herself on piano, and the album was produced by Cohen. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
