@crustycoot Did you not notice that I was asked for a comparison of Taylor with Leonard Cohen? That is what I supplied. Already I had signified that I "didn't like JT," and would happily have let matters rest there.
@mike_in_nc I'm confident that you will find, if interested, some Cohen covers more to your taste. A band called Brother Wiley recorded a lively, guitar-heavy cover of "First We Take Manhattan" that sheds much of the gloom and bitterness. I brought it up on Qobuz and you could surely do the same. Even the likes of Haydn and Mozart can be allowed four minutes' rest ;-)

@hickamore - Thanks; I'll check them out. Re: Mozart & Haydn, I do like Shostakovitch, too. No one ever accused his music of being happy all the time! |
