Leonard Cohen - Songs From a Room

'Songs From a Room' continues much in the same vein as Cohens first album, but adds some more essential hits to his discography.

'Bird on a Wire' is a great country ballad.

It is also highly ironic that it became the theme song to one of Mel Gibsons action flicks!  (Mel doesn't seem to get along with Zionist types like Leonard Cohen now-a-days!)

One of my personal favorites is 'The Old Revolution'.  It is written from the point of view of a Right-Wing Royalist just after the French Revolution.  Even though many mistake Leonard Cohen as some sort of mega-liberal singer-songwriter from the 1960s, he actually has some Right-Wing views (like supporting Israel) and writes songs that Libertarians can relate to.
