Thanks all, keep the answers coming. According to Harry Fox Agency, they do not handle the mechanical licenses for medleys ( I read this on their website) and thus I must contact everyone's publisher and get the publishers to agree. Someone on Mudcat must have had to do this sometime, which means that someone knows how to do it in the U.S. If I thought buying a mechanical license for each song in the medley would cover it, I would do that, but HFA says no.

So far, I have ascertained Leonard Cohen's publisher and received a brief email from Richard Thompson, but I have not contacted his publisher yet, nor have I heard from Cohen's.

I am also seeking the right to reprint lyrics, as I am including the lyrics to all of the songs on my soon-to-be-finished CD.

I appreciate everyone's attempts to help and I know someone has the answer.

Cheers!
