EXTRA TRACKS. Like the ancient scriptures themselves, whose parables and lessons have always inspired the poetry and songwriting of 72-year old Leonard Cohen, the verses and cadences of his first trilogy of Columbia albums recorded between 1967 and 1970 have continued to inform and enlighten followers of each musical generation that has arisen ever since. All over the world musicians share the tradition of covering Cohen's songs. There are more than 720 cover versions and tributes by musicians of all genres around world including Bob Dylan, U2, k.d. lang, Nick Cave, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, Beth Orton, REM, Concrete Blonde, and most recently Fall Out Boy and A.K.A.'s. The previously unreleased bonus material on the three Leonard Cohen expanded edition CDs marks the first time that any of this music has surfaced.
