Leonard Cohen Marks 70th Birthday with New Album
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW YORK (Billboard) - A week after his 70th birthday, Leonard Cohen will release a new album, "Dear Heather," on Sept. 28, his first studio recording since 2001's acclaimed "Ten New Songs."
A week after his 70th birthday, Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen will release a new album, 'Dear Heather,' on September 28, 2004, his first studio recording since 2001's acclaimed 'Ten New Songs.' The new Columbia Records set will feature 12 new tracks, as well as a live recording of the Pee Wee King/Redd Stewart country standard 'Tennessee Waltz.'

The new Columbia Records set will feature 12 new tracks, as well as a live recording of the Pee Wee King/Redd Stewart country standard "Tennessee Waltz."
While "Ten New Songs" saw the Canadian poet/singer/songwriter collaborating with former backup singer Sharon Robinson, who produced and performed the music and co-wrote all of the songs, this time Cohen seems to be standing more on his own. He worked again with producer/engineer Leann Ungar (Laurie Anderson, Janis Ian), who was on hand last month in New York to preview some of the material during a gathering of Cohen fans.
Cohen has reportedly also been crafting a new book of poetry, "Book of Longing," the title of which stems from a lyric in the "Ten New Songs" piece "That Don't Make It Junk." It is unknown when the book will be published, as it was first revealed to be on the way when he was awarded the Order of Canada, the country's highest civil honor, in January 2003.
"Ten New Songs" debuted at No. 143 on the Billboard 200, and at No. 4 on Billboard's Top Canadian Albums chart.
