"This motley collection of players — some have covered Cohen (Linda Thompson) or sung a tribute album (Nick Cave) or been compared with him (Jarvis Cocker) or admitted fanhood (The Handsome Family) or are, er, Canadian (the McGarrigles, here with offspring Rufus, Martha, and Lily) — manage to conjure up just about every facet and subfacet of Cohenness. If Cohen had been here he would have smiled."
