Description

Leonard Cohen's 1973 album "LIVE SONGS" is a great representation of his career peak. The album consists of mostly songs from his second album "SONGS FROM A ROOM" and some unreleased songs. The album has a great ensemble including Charlie Daniels on fiddle and Jennifer Warnes on backing vocals. The album is probably the best representation of Cohen's career peak.

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.
