Famous Blue Raincoat

Here's one of my all-time favourite songs. It comes from Leonard Cohen's album Songs Of Love And Hate (1971).

I wanted to do a very minimal version. I wanted to show that you don't have to strum loudly or even use all the strings. One take.

Love this song . . . Thanks Ken! My first exposure to Leonard Cohen was via Jennifer Warnes album Famous Blue Raincoat, The Songs of Leonard Cohen.

I, of course, absolutely agree. Too often 'more is more' in the ukulele world.
