Little Hawk--

It's not Leonard Cohen's voice that's the problem, I think. I suspect he can sing quite well, though he has hidden it expertly up to now. The real sticking point with him is his attitude (though he probably has a healthy bank balance, and making it as big as he has in music is something we haven't done yet.) Anyway, somebody, I'm pretty sure it was on Mudcat, expressed it well, something like "Leonard Cohen covers the whole range of emotions from very dark and sombre to not so dark and sombre". Well, everybody gotta have a gimmick. Maybe Cohen's gimmick is unrelieved depression.
