Songs From the Road

2010年9月14日,集合了08/09年Leonard Cohen全球巡演精华的现场专辑《Songs From The Road(来自路上的歌)》将已DVD+CD,蓝光和黑胶的形式同步上市。 自2008年全球巡演开始,Leonard Cohen的足迹遍及美欧澳,表演已不下百场。在经历了昏倒事件和扭伤事件后,Cohen于7月25日重返舞台,继续2010年巡演。2009年3月31日,《Live in London》现场专辑发行。专辑完整的呈现了2008年Leonard Cohen在欧洲最大室内场地之一 —— 伦敦O2 Arena—— 的精彩演出。 9月14日发行的《Songs From The Road》则又精挑细选了12首08/09巡演中的现场录音,并辅以DVD的精彩视频记录。在DVD和蓝光中还含有一部20分钟名为《Behind the Scenes(幕后)》的纪录片,囊括了Cohen的女儿Lorca对每一个乐队成员进行的采访。另外,专辑还附赠了丰富的文字资料,包括The New Republic的编辑Leon Wieseltier所写的文章和本次巡演录音及录像总监Ed Sanders对每首歌的花絮记录。专辑封面照片由著名摄影师Dominique Isserman拍摄于苏格兰爱丁堡城堡现场。封面照片的精彩之处在于寓意了Cohen归来(Leonard Cohen's back)。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ by Mark Deming Given that Leonard Cohen's recent international concert tour was prompted by the fact his former manager purportedly made off with his life's savings, only a curmudgeon would blame the man for trying to make the enterprise as profitable as possible. Roughly 14 months after releasing Live in London, which preserved Cohen's July 2008 performance at London's 02 Arena, the venerable singer and songwriter is presenting to his fans Songs from the Road, featuring 12 tunes (on both CD and DVD) from his 2008 and 2009 concert dates. While Live in London captured the feel and flow of a single concert and featured most of Cohen's best-known songs, this set includes bits and pieces from 11 different shows, and while this album isn't exactly a collection of rarities, it does feature a number of lesser-known tunes (such as "Heart With No Companion" and "That Don't Make It Junk") and variant versions of some of his more famous numbers (Cohen juggles the order of the verses on "Suzanne" and adds a new verse to "Bird on a Wire"). While Live in London was a richly satisfying souvenir of Cohen's inspired comeback shows, Songs from the Road is less impressive in its more modest scale and less cohesive atmosphere. But the album still demonstrates that Cohen is a compelling and absorbing performer who brings his soul into every verse he sings, and his band is nothing less that superb; even when Dino Soldo's sax and Bob Metzger's guitar dip into jazz fusion sleepyland, they give Cohen just the musical support he needs, and the interplay between them and the vocalist is a marvel. Songs from the Road seems a bit pale compared to the excellence of Live in London, but both albums are enough to convince anyone that even at the age of 74, Leonard Cohen remains one of the most vital figures in contemporary music, and his gifts as a performer nearly match his abilities as a writer, no small accomplishment.
