Genre : American Folk
"Songs of Leonard Cohen" is the debut album by Leonard Cohen, released in 1967. More successful in Europe than in North America, this LP foreshadowed the kind of chart success Cohen would go on to achieve. It peaked at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart, spending nearly a year and a half on it. In the US, it reached number 83 on the Billboard 200. The ten songs on Songs of Leonard Cohen were certainly beautifully constructed, artful in a way few other lyricists would approach for some time, but what's most striking about them isn't Cohen's technique, so much as his portraits of a world dominated by love and lust, rage and need, compassion and betrayal.
