    It's a treat to hear Cohen so comfortable in both his old and new skins. [No. 121, p.53]

    The fourth live album to come out of Leonard Cohen's 2008-2013 world tour is a fascinating glimpse into his creative process.

    Cohen’s sound checks, as lengthy as the shows, where he’d experiment with old songs and try out new ones, were celebrated by insiders, and the three examples here are among the highlights: a remarkable Field Commander Cohen, like a four-and-a-half-minute operetta; a cover of George Jones’ Choices (gorgeous fiddle); and a new Cohen original, up-tempo blues Got A Little Secret.

    The evenness of the performances here is striking. [Jun 2015, p.74]

    Good as his bandmates are, on Can't Forget, Cohen is the star, and he's as strong, as witty, and as willing to lay himself emotionally bare as ever; it's anyone's guess how much longer he intends to keep going, but there's nothing here to suggest he needs or wants to quit now.
