Songs of Leonard Cohen

The album Songs of Leonard Cohen was the Canadian poet Leonard Cohen's debut into the world of popular music. Cohen's lonely and all-too-human songs were informed by his literate approach, part and parcel to a burgeoning singer/songwriter movement in popular music. Instigated by the work of Bob Dylan, singer-songwriters appeared to be folk singers on the surface, but were not allied to the folk movement's politics or repertoire, instead performing original material in styles at times reminiscent of the folk singers of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Songs of Leonard Cohen was one of the first in this new sub-genre, along with the debut albums of Laura Nyro, Tim Buckley, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell, propelling the approach to an eventual position of dominance in the early 1970s.
