Just listened. Buckley just covered Cale's version as far as the verses.

All of the verses were by Cohen. He changed some of the lyrics between the 84 and the 88 versions that he released. Jeff Buckley used 2 verses from the 84 version and 3 from the 88 version in his 94 version. I'll have to go back and listen to the John Cale version from the "I'm Your Fan" compilation (91). I also HATE Buckley's version. He lucked out by them letting him put his version on the soundtrack, even though they used a shortened version of Cale's in the movie.

The Cohen documentary talks a lot about the different verses and how they changed over time, both by Cohen and then by the folks behind Rufus Wainwright's version. I keep of list of my funeral songs: Go In Peace: Sam Baker Summer's End: John Prine Dreaming: Bruce and Kelly (also about summer ending) Heading for the Light: Traveling Wilburys

This was the first song that got my attention a few years ago.

Peter Case documentary
Forgot he did this on Live Aid. And listen to what Pino does on the bass. Kind of returns the urgency to the song.

Peter Case documentary
Paul Young had a kick ass version of Jack's song, "Come Back and Stay" (along with a typical 80s video with hot chicks) but Jack's version had a sense of urgency. I need to dig out my vinyl copy. I think I first heard this on some sampler. Paul Young's version so we can look at hot chicks.

Taking cues from the Catholic Church. "Sure, you can get an annulment. How much money do you make?"

Peter Case documentary
Finally got to see it. Man, I had forgotten how cute Victoria Williams was....what a smile in those early clips. That version of "Two Angels" was incredible, as was watching Peter's reaction. I also wish they had spent more time on his getting to SF and his early time there. Also, I wish they had talked to some of the people who helped him on those early records. T-Bone Burnett, John Hiatt, Keltner, Scheff, Fromm, etc. It was cool they talked with Marvin Etzione. Always loved that dude. Jake Lee damn sure got his screen time. I talked to Peter on the second solo album tour and he said that Eddie was going fine so I assume they still got along. It's depressing to me what GREAT music he put out and never really gets the recognition he deserves. He is a FANTASTIC song writer.

No Leonard Cohen Thread?
Saw this in 1988 and was really my first exposure to him Plus, I was very, very intrigued by Perla Batalla. Good lord.

No Leonard Cohen Thread?
They showed a short clip of KD Lang singing at his memorial. I was looking for a better version of his introductions, but still pretty cool. I've seen Rafael play with Kelly Willis and Bob Schneider among others. Then the 'quietest rock band'.

Found it. Blue Lava guitar?

No Leonard Cohen Thread?
Finally watched the Netflix Documentary about Leonard Cohen. https://www.netflix.com/title/81521158 I'm going to watch it again to tonight. So many great comments from him and those who surrounded him. Plus, with his huge Austin connections of Roscoe Beck on bass and Rafael Gayol on drums. I wish they had delved deeper or at least given an introduction into his band he assembled for that came back from retirement. I loved how the showed the background of how the covering of Hallelujah (John Cale, Jeff Buckley) did so much to resurrect his career which gave him the audience to draw from when he was forced to go back on tour. Also bummed they didn't mention Jennifer Warnes' brilliant album, "Famous Blue Raincoat" which was also produced by Roscoe Back and included one SRV solo. But they showed the importance of the indie tribute album, "I'm Your Fan". Had to break that out today and give it another listen but Cale's cover was easily the highlight of that record.

I'd really like to see Molly play with David Rawlings and Gillian Welch. It amazes me how little she looks at her left hand. Incredible.- Songs About or That Reference Other Musicians
From the greatest songwriter no one has heard of: Rock Killough. He played on the very first season of Austin City Limits.- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Has Cousin @Steel Shank weighed in on this?- The Surly Beginner Guitar Thread
Also posted on Guitar thread: Stupid Deal link below on D’Angelico Premier Lexington CS. If someone is looking for a beginner or beater/campfire guitar (and you can get past the tuners), these D'Angelico's are a very good buy at $400 and a STEAL at $200. They play really nice...the neck is really great for smaller hands but isn't too small and the preamp in these things sounds fantastic. A friend of mine tried a stint in Nashville as a songwriter, then got his law degree and is now a pastor of a Baptist church but his true love is still music. He has shelved all of his high dollar acoustics in his church band for one of these. Every time I talk to him, he sings the praised of this thing. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190- The Guitar Pron Thread
