Whether it's an affinity with his poetic sensibility – and at least one of the songs on this 11-track collection, ‘Suzanne’, was first published as a poem – or simply a deep-seated affection for his songs, there's something inherently right when vocalist Christine Tobin sings Leonard Cohen. Christine's ear for lyrical detail, coupled with her sensitivity to the singular mood of each song, combines to magical effect. From the alluring groove of ‘Tower of Song’, previously recorded by the singer on her 2003 album You Draw The Line, and the powerful imagery of ‘Story Of Isaac’, to the incredibly moving ‘Anthem’ (a duet with Gwilym Simcock, the only track to feature piano) and the enigmatic ‘You Know Who I Am’, a song that Christine has been singing since the age of 10, these are interpretations that shimmer with beauty and insight. As on her previous award-winning release, Sailing to Byzantium, the singer receives completely empathetic support from her musicians.
