2024 Charity Shop Purchases # 61 - Leonard Cohen - Songs From a Room
All good things sadly come to an end and sadly today sees the fifth and final Leonard Cohen album recently purchased in the Wigtown Community Shop. It shares a jewel case with last weeks New Skin From The Old Ceremony
For those of you who are bereft worry not as this his second album from 1969 is probably the best of the bunch It is one that I also have on vinyl and in what can only be described as a remarkable coincidence it was also purchased in Wigtown but in the Book Shop as opposed to the Community Shop.
It actually reached number 2 in the UK albums charts. Wiki writes like his debut LP, it received mixed reviews from critics, who were put off by his unusual singing voice but intrigued by the songs
And therein lies the rub.
You know what might be a better idea? Get Johnny Cash to record the songs!
That's us all Lenned out and as things stand Charity Shop Purchases out. I shall try and rectify the second one sooner rather than later.
