Leonard Cohen 30-Day Tribute ... Day 27: Album #11 - Dear Heather

Day 27: Album #11 Dear Heather - "Morning Glory"

Dear Heather is the 11th studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released by Columbia Records in 2004.

Wikipedia: Three tracks on the album – "Go No More A-Roving", "The Letters" and "There For You" – came from the Ten New Songs recording sessions, Cohen's previous album from 2001. As such, Sharon Robinson supplied the music, production, and singing for those songs.[citation needed] The rest of the material came from various sources that feature Cohen experimenting with different musical approaches. On "To a Teacher", Cohen quotes himself from The Spice-Box of Earth, his second collection of poetry from 1961.
