The Download
After his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Canadian folk legend Leonard Cohen announced his first tour dates in 15 years. Despite early rumors, nothing has been scheduled for this side of the border, so the Walkmen decided to take matters into their own hands. No stranger to covers (the band’s last LP was a song-for-song re-creation of the 1974 Henry Nilsson album Pussy Cats), the NYC quintet paid tribute to the man with an all-Cohen studio session, available to download at Daytrotter.com. Let’s just hope the gesture’s enough to persuade him to add another leg to the tour.
