synopsis
Lenny's heroes. Although it can be difficult to detect the influences in the work of Leonard Cohen, he was informed by a far-reaching list of musicians, writers, poets and philosophies. In Lonesome Heroes, the scope and detail of his artistic inspirations are put under the microscope. It is no surprise to find Bob Dylan and Judy Collins included; he was deeply affected by performers such as Hank Williams.
