Kwaya Na Kisser: More Cohen: 2 BBC Recordings

12.01.2006

Two more vintage Cohen sets:

BBC 2 TV "Once More With Felix", London, 27 Jan 1968

Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye (duet with the popular folksinger Julie Felix)

BBC Radio 1 "Top Gear" John Peel Sessions, 11 Aug 1968

Bird on the Wire
So Long, Marianne
You Know Who I Am

Private Beach said...: Julie Felix was American, not British, though she became a big star in the UK, where she had her own TV series. She's unfairly forgotten these days, and most of her early recordings are out of print. Her best album, "Changes", deserves a CD reissue.

Julie is still active as a singer and peace campaigner, and has her own website: http://knibb.org/juliefelix/; 9:57 PM
Anonymous said...: thanks for these excellent LC songs, and thanks in general for your wonderful blog. truly one of MY top ten (5? 2? 1?) favorite blogs.

I just started watching a bunch of R. Altman films, and if you haven't seen it recently, watch McCabe and Mrs. Miller. There is an incredible L. Cohen soundtrack, and even more amazingly, the director's commentary on the film gives a great story about how he chose that soundtrack. Watching the film, I KNEW there had to be a story behind it, and boy, is there ever.

Thanks again for all your time and posts. They ARE appreciated!
