There is something unmatched about Leonard Cohen when the arrangements fall back and leave him alone at the microphone with an acoustic guitar and his letter-like verses. Famous Blue Raincoat proves that a song often hits hardest when there is virtually nothing standing between the words and the room. Here are three stark, unadorned tracks from the same era that share that quiet, devastating focus. Do you lean more toward the gentle folk fingerpicking here, or are you drawn specifically to that dark, narrative edge?
