Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen

one more suggestion, though a tad obscure: The Dresden Dolls, with Amanda Palmer on vocals. Extradordinary, achingly sad. you can probably pick it up on the net, on their website. or i can send it to you as an attachment. quite amazing.

Allison Crowe, a Canadian singer/songwriter, does a great version on her album Tidings. You can listen to it on her web site at http://www.allisoncrowe.com/ .

Thanks--my doors are open you are welcome to listen the next time you are in Iowa city (I should be safe--who goes to Iowa City?) Seriously though, I'm always happy to have a listening session with fellow audiophiles.

Damn, and I was just recently in Des Moines shooting for a book project! No, seriously, I'm not kidding!

Actually, if you are into literature Iowa City is one of the capitols of our country in that respect.
