- This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 1960s songcraft of "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire," the "folksinger" tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan drollery of "Tower of Song" and "Everybody Knows" to the apocalyptic anthemry of "First We Take Manhattan" and "Democracy" suggest that other labels might be more appropriate: cabaret surrealist, spiritual gadfly, sensual prophet, agent provocateur. Cohen chose the selections, drawing more than half of the 31 tracks from three landmark albums--his 1967 debut - 1. Suzanne 2. The Stranger Song 3. Sisters of Mercy 4. Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbyen 5. So Long, Marianne 6. Bird on a Wire 7. The Partisan 8. Famous Blue Raincoat 9. Chelsea Hotel No. 2 10. Take This Longing 11. Who by Fire 12. The Guests 13. Hallelujah 14. If It Be Your Will 15. Night Comes On 16. I'm Your Man 17. Everybody Knows 18. Tower of Song
