Leonard Cohen Readies May "Can't Forget: A Souvenir of the Grand Tour" Live CD

Leonard Cohen to release Can't Forget: A Souvenir of the Grand Tour on May 12, 2015.  The ten
songs of this hypnotic album are Cohen rarities recorded on his recent, celebrated "Old Ideas World Tour."  Remarkably, this is Cohen's third album release since last September's Platinum selling
Popular Problems which garnered four 2015 JUNO AWARD nominations and won for the coveted 'Album of the Year'.

Here is a full range of Leonard Cohen's work: new songs including, from the realm of blues, the wickedly funny "Got a Little Secret" and "Never Gave Nobody Trouble"; luxurious performances of such Cohen masterpieces as "I Can't Forget," "Light As the Breeze," "Night Comes On," and a sublime "Joan of Arc".
