Hallelujah for Songwriters



In this episode of Teenage Kicks, host Alec Hanley Bemis assembles a show that plays tribute to the great singer-songwriter. This features multiple versions of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," and shoutouts to him, songs about marriage, tunes by proteges of sad and woodsy crooner Bon Iver, a little Bob Dylan, a tune by Regina Spektor, and a series of songs that reflect on age. More tracks by Sharon Van Etten, Feist, Lucinda Williams, Sinead O'Connor, Anais Williams, and London Wainwright III.
