Leonard Cohen was right in the middle of a career peak when he
released 1973's LIVE SONGS, which came in between two titanic
studio albums, SONGS OF LOVE & HATE and NEW SKIN FOR THE OLD
CEREMONY. But since much of the album was recorded during a 1970
tour, it consists mostly of songs from his second album, SONGS FROM
A ROOM. An ensemble including Charlie Daniels on fiddle and
Jennifer Warnes on backing vocals lends a good amount of oomph to
these tunes, but previously unreleased songs like "Queen Victoria"
and "Please Don't Pass Me By" (which never made it onto a studio
album) are among the most visceral and striking. Cohen would go on
to release three more live albums over the years, but this is
probably the best.
