So he passed away one week ago today and I’ve been listening non-stop to him over the last few days if you want to know. So today’s post is my fave Cohen covers performed by other artists. He’s got alot of songs that have been covered but I did limited myself to twenty because it could go on forever but I did do just one the other day too before this list. If you know or can’t figure it out it’s in order of Cohen own originals and how they are order on his albums like a track listing and is NOT rated in anyway at all.

Nick Cave – Suzanne
Beth Orton – Sisters Of Mercy
Bill Callahan – So Long, Marianne
