Leonard Cohen on singing with a voice that is true to one’s self. A repost.

I think all singers should listen to this podcast. It's a clip from a 1988 interview I did with Leonard that I decided not to include in my Ebook: Hallelujah: A Conversation with Leonard Cohen, which is about our first interview that re-routed my life and made me decide to become an interviewer. Here we talk about the quest to sing truthfully. Eight years later, during an interview with another of my heroes, Scott Walker, he talked about singers who try to imitate his dark, sad, sonorous voice and said, "but I can always tell when the voice of a singer is not true." So can I. In fact, it is rarely one hear's a voice that is true, in any area of life! Emjoy.
