3.0 out of 5 stars That don't make it junk, March 21, 2010

This review is from: Leonard Cohen's Jukebox (Audio CD)

Indeed, as the rather small print on the back says: "This CD is not authorized by Leonard Cohen." Period. Nevertheless, much of the music on this CD is worth listening to in its own right; it is certainly the most varied collection of music and poetry you will find on one disk. You figure out for yourself what the connections might be with LC's own very distinct oevre.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misusing names, March 21, 2010

I always find it a bit disingenuous when an album comes out prominently using an artist's name when it's essentially nothing but a mixed tape that someone put together after talking to them.Regardless of the quality of the music, and regardless of whether the artist actually likes the music on the disc, to display the name and picture of the recommending artist in the way that this disc does strikes me as visual misrepresentation.

I share the concerns of the other reviewers and think amazon.com should accept some responsibility since the advance release mailing failed to mention that this CD was not authorized by Leonard Cohen. It might be argued that amazon.com was not obligated to make such a disclaimer, but ethically such advertising is pretty dicey given that amazon actively chose to contact customers about the release. It's one thing for Chrome Dream to issue such a recording--it's another for amazon to plug it.
