Terrific news, Amy! Here's wishing you and all a fun and festive time together at the EDAF benefits in Somerville and NYC. (Thankfully, after all the heartbreak of the last tour, and New York marking the end of a love affair - it's all been rock and roll goodness since that pain.) Mention of the two Leonard Cohen tributes to feature Allison Crowe recently, reminds me of what Sherry and other folks, including myself, have been asking - when does the December MOJO mag reach the stands?! Here on Canada's west coast, it's not reached the shops yet, but, I've heard it's on stands in Montreal as of last week, so, it is making it across the water so we should be seeing/hearing it any day soon. (Some folks will see a Cohen cover, and, most, if not all, of North America will see a Metallica/James Hetfield cover.) MOJO's December '08 issue pays tribute to the "Incredible Resurrection of Rock's Greatest Poet". In the UK, one newspaper bills the overwhelmingly warm and ecstatic response to this year's concert tour as "Lennymania". Adam - does that include you?! The mag celebrates "deep and moving music, the kind of stuff we need in the run up to the holiday period". Of Allison's contribution of "Joan of Arc" to its 'All Star Tribute", a cover-mount CD titled "Cohen Covered", MOJO says: "Once famously described by the Vancouver Courier as possessing a style akin to 'Elton John meets Edith Piaf', the Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe is renowned for her ability to blend control and melodrama. Certainly she does so on this spirited cover of Cohen's Songs of Love and Hate classic, a track which also powerfully showcases her considerable talent as a fine interpreter of song." Other covers included are from Nick Cave, Martha Wainwright, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra - alongside Cohen-interpreters from earlier generations, such as Judy Collins, Linda Thompson and Dion. Another recent tribute to Cohen, hosted by Elbow's Guy Garvey, focused on his song "Hallelujah" - and this BBC Radio 2 doc which explores the many facets of "The Fourth, The Fifth, The Minor Fall", spiritual, sexual, and more, is now on YouTube in seven-parts that feature Allison Crowe, Imogen Heap, Kathryn Williams and other musicians alongside producers John Lissauer (Leonard Cohen) and Andy Wallace (Jeff Buckley). All-in-all, it's been a grand year for the great songwriter, and the appreciation couldn't be better-timed for Leonard Cohen. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #673 ***************************
