The Songs of Leonard Cohen
Keith James brings the music of Leonard Cohen, with each song stripped back -- desolate, naked and sensual.
Enigmatic, mysterious and sub textural, songwriter Leonard Cohen is an unflinching character, with an exact sense of prose, a wry humour and courage to wrestle with the unspoken, forgiving human frailty with the brush of each line.
His recent spectacular world tour of stadium venues has been successful beyond belief but has not, with regret, exposed the solitary inner strength of his greatest songs in their original perfect form.
Keith James, with a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and an undying love of the pure song ,gives you a concert of this amazing material in the most intimate and sensitive way imaginable.
Among a concert of such songs as Famous Blue Raincoat, Sisters of Mercy, Suzanne and Hallelujah, are also poems by Federico Garcia Lorca -- said to be Cohen’s greatest influence.-- that Keith has set to music.
