Leonard Cohen is living a resurgence of interest in his life and music at the moment, touring the world with a very successful series of concerts, some recorded for radio and TV, that showcase his innovative, honest and spiritual music. Since "Suzanne" became a folk music staple in the '60's, Leonard Cohen has reinvented the settings for his deep lyrical messages many times, ethno-folkie at one point, synth-driven at another. Always the melodies are memorable and the wedding of lyric and tune impeccable. Leonard Cohen is often sited as a major inspiration by artists as disparate as U2, Elton John and Kris Kristofferson.
