Description

On this episode, we discuss the 1988 LP by Leonard Cohen, I’m Your Man.  Cohen gained fame as a writer of poetry and novels before he gained fame as a musician. He writes some of the most compelling (and often covered) songs in popular music (including the ubiquitous “Hallelujah”). His early albums fit more into the folk idiom, but on later albums, he began to experimenting with synthesizers and incorporating them into the mix culminating with this album. I'm Your Man is an album filled with technology that may sound straight out of the 80s, but it also contains lyrics that touch on timeless themes such as age (Cohen was in his 50s when this album was released), love, and religion.  This critically acclaimed LP is an unusual mix of techno-soundscapes and thought provoking lyrics that stands out in Cohen’s long and storied career.
