Es ist allgemein Bekannt, dass der junge Cohen erst zur Gitarre griff um seine Tätigkeit aus Autor und Dichter zu finanzieren, der Rest ist Geschichte... Auf dieser CD befinden sich nun die wahrscheinlich ersten Tonaufnahmen des blutjungen Leonard Cohen wie er einige Gedichte aus seinem Erstlingswerk "Let Us Compare Mythologies" liest
