LEONARD COHEN Leonard Cohen's Lonesome Heroes (2010 UK DVD - In 'Leonard Cohen's Lonesome Heroes', the scope and detail of his artistic inspirations is put under the microscope to quite fascinating result. Leonard's first love was poetry and in the works of the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca and his fellow Canadian, Irving Layton, he found the words that moved him to create his own verse. The beat writers too hit a note with Leonard and their work has lived with him throughout his career.It may not come as a surprise to find Bob Dylan and Judy Collins as part of this index, but perhaps a less acknowledged genre of interest to Leonard is Country music - however he was deeply affected by performers such as Hank Williams, Hank Snow and the country recordings of Ray Charles)
