(9) Canadian 60s Leonard Cohen Bird On A Wire

"For four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on.


His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Sex, spirituality, religion, power – he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises. " From: http://www.leonardcohen.com/bio.html

Bird on the Wire is one of Leonard Cohen's signature songs. It was recorded on 26 September, 1968 in Nashville and included on his 1969 album Songs From A Room. Listen to it sung by Aaron Neville, one of the Neville Brothers.
