Webb Sisters: If It Be Your Will
[purchase]
As many have declared, it was a religious experience to finally see Leonard Cohen live a few months ago, after decades of love/obsession with his music - a full concert review can be found on my own blog here...
I started out this week with every intention of posting a track from Leonard Cohen Live in London... sung by LC himself - however, with only a guitar and a harp, Hattie and Charley, two of his back-up singers (The Sublime Webb Sisters, as he called them all evening) transformed a brief turn in the spotlight covering one of his original compositions into something magnificent and magical, and I knew I wanted to showcase them instead...
The track begins with Cohen speaking the first two verses of his poetic tune - swoon...
