Sometimes there are things that just cannot wait, even for an hour.  Sony Records have pre-released the full album stream of Old Ideas, the new album from Leonard Cohen, which is slated for release on January 31 in more formats than you can shake a stick at.

Leonard Cohen is in fine form on Old Ideas.  I’ve listened to the entire album five times and I’m enraptured already.  So, if you’re a Leonard Cohen fan (and I think you are), you’ll be as excited as I am for this new collection of music from the Zen master.

Enjoy.  And thanks Sony (and LC), via NPR Radio, for the early listen.  [CLICK HERE]

Amen!
