Oooh it was set to be a good night, even on paper. Steve Gunn - Kurt Vile's buddy and extra Violator on this tour - filled an early, early set with layered, rich indie-blues - haven't heard a lot of that, these days. And none so good. Guitar and voice gave a dusty hug to the muttering crowd. Then San Francisco's Fresh & Onlys arrived, lookin' like each of them - singer/guitarist Tim Cohen, guitarist Wymond Miles, bassist Shayde Sartin and drummer Kyle Gibson - belonged in different [...]

It's been a couple of years in the making but Glasgow four-piece Three Blind Wolves are finally set to release their debut album,  Hallelujah For The Old Machine, on May 27th. Compared in the past to the likes of Modest Mouse and Bright Eyes , the four-piece take those influences and throw a weight of rollicking Scottish-folk in to the mix, creating a big and bold record that's completely of its own making. A couple of weeks ahead of its release, we're very [...]

Bronx native YC The Cynic and producer Frank Drake found some recent success in their Kickstarter project , which reached its goal and then some before ending. And to show his love to the world, YC is sharing a brand-new track, "Hallelujah", that's equally celebratory and tough. Even though this cut won't appear on the new album,  GNK , it  is indicative of the sound we can expect to hear. Download/stream the tune "Hallelujah" below.

Tonight I'm grateful that songwriters like Tyler Lyle exist in this world, creating something that is unvarnished and open-hearted amidst the grey rows of quotidian obligations that can often feel overwhelming. Tyler released a new EP Expatriates out of the blue this weekend, and I have spent the last 72 hours listening to it over and over. Ithaca by Tyler Lyle "Ithica" is the final track on the 5-song EP, and it is pure and bittersweet, and it tells [...]

Alexandra Burke said on the flop of her last album, Heartbreak On Hold, : "“I loved that album. I loved the positivity behind it. This new album is very different – I’m listening to Aretha, Gladys Knight, Billie Holiday. I’m being inspired by the greats – particularly those who may have been forgotten by my generation. All I want to do is sing and have people hear my voice. If that means slowing things down then so be it… although I do love to dance!” And on the new album: “I can’t say [...]

The Internet is full of hyperbole and overblown statements. We try to avoid that. With that said: this is the greatest video ever to appear on Youtube. What is it? [...] The post It's Time To Let Jesus' Love Pop A Cap In Your Butt And Say "Hallelujah" appeared first on The Smoking Section .

SOUND Advice factoid of the day - Richard Clayderman has sold more records than Lady Gaga. In factoid, he's shifted more units than Bob Dylan, than Coldplay, than Adele, than Jay-Z, he's sold more than 85 million records collecting 267 gold albums and 70 platinum albums along the way. And on Romantique, the Frenchman's first LP in more than a decade, you can clearly hear why. Because Clayderman peddles the most inoffensive brand of instrumental piano cover version of the most obvious middle-of-the-road classical pop you can imagine. He starts off with his lavish, orchestra soaked [...]

Hallelujah by Igorrr Admittedly, if I had casually heard the phrase "operatic breakcore" getting tossed around in a music conversation, I'd truly be fighting the urge to step in and shout, "GIMMICK! GIMMICK! GIMMICK!" However, that's really the only word grouping I can conjure to describe the sounds on Igorrr's Hallelujah . I guess it isn't truly functional, though, because there's an indescribable metal influence on some of these tracks, too. Grab this album on vinyl, CD, or MP3 on Bandcamp . While I'm not completely convinced that the music [...]

Hallelujah , per il sottoscritto, è una delle canzoni migliori e intramontabile nel tempo. Proprio pochi giorni fa abbiamo fatto un post sulle migliori cover mai realizzate del brano che molti, erroneamente, collegano a Jeff Buckley. Non è lui l'interprete originale del pezzo ma Leonard Cohen e la canzone è diventata talmente famosa, apprezzata e incisa successivamente da meritarsi un libro tutto suo. " The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of 'Hallelujah " è il titolo del volume incentrato su questo classico e, all'interno, possiamo trovare [...]

Piety means different things to different people. It can be reverence or righteousness or pejorative self-righteousness. It really depends on both the context and beholder. Whatever your personal feelings on religion/spirituality/God, you can appreciate the intention of an artist invoking his or her own beliefs in pursuit of more meaningful, celebratory or even intensely-dark expression. Yet again, the rapture never happened, but it's still wise to enjoy some of 2012's most pious tracks from those most zealous of zealots – rappers (and Frank Ocean). Hallelujah, We Lived Another Day [...]

Qualche giorno fa il cast di The Voice U.S. ha cantato il brano " Hallelujah " in memoria delle vittime del Connecticut. Questo pezzo per l'intensità e per l'originalità è noto anche per le molteplici cover realizzati da vari artisti, che accentuano ancora di più la bellezza di questo brano. Hallelujah è scritta e interpretata dal cantautore canadese Leonard Cohen . Il brano fu pubblicato nel 1984 e inizialmente non ebbe alcun successo commerciale, ma dopo alcuni anni, è cresciuto di popolarità. Ad oggi sono state registrate e pubblicate ufficialmente oltre 200 cover del [...]

My mom told me once that we were all born into this world with a special talent that's unique to us. Well I'm sure glad excellence in handfarting isn't my skill, but I can still appreciate the HandFartMaster . This gentleman has shared his "Handmonica" talents with the world through covers posted on his YouTube channel. Let's start with HFM's take on Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd...

During the 12/12/12 concert, someone was bound to play “Hallelujah.” I mean, it’s like law or something at this point. Whenever anything happens, whether to celebrate or to mourn, “Hallelujah” is performed. I never expected Adam Sandler's version (nor did I want it), but I suppose that is what's interesting about the song: it has become universal to everyone but holds no shared meaning. Such songs transcend their creator; in this case, Leonard Cohen’s 1984 original was re-worked in 1991 by John Cale of the Velvet Underground for an album dedicated to Cohen’s music. However, it wasn’t until Jeff Buckley [...]

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, The Voice treaded lightly Monday (December 17), opening the episode on a somber note. Judges, hosts and contestants from Season 3 began the final live performances with an emotional tribute to the victims of Friday’s tragedy. Their performance of Leonard Cohen ’s “Hallelujah” was both jarring and beautiful, as the singers on the candlelit stage held the name and age of each of the of the 20 children and six adults that were killed. The timely acknowledgement of the tragedy and this moving [...]

Christina Aguilera The finale of The Voice started on a somber note as the coaches - Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green , and Christina Aguilera - paid tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. With the stage illuminated by candles, the coaches performed an emotional rendition of "Hallelujah" while they and every member of their season 3 teams held cards bearing the names of each of the young victims. Watch the beautiful tribute below:

Today is family day on Coffee. This first selection is from a chorus called Ladies First. Birgit is a member. The song is beautiful-it raises Leonard Cohen's music to a new height. Download: lf-22_hallelujah.mp3
