More Best of Leonard Cohen is a collection of Leonard Cohen songs released in 1997.
It is a sequel to the 1975 album The Best of Leonard Cohen and was released during a period of inactivity for the singer, who had retreated to the Mt. Baldy Zen Center near Los Angeles in 1994. Tracks are drawn from albums I'm Your Man (1988) and The Future (1992), as well as the live album Cohen Live (1994). The collection features two unique tracks: "Never Any Good" (recorded 1995 in Los Angeles) and "The Great Event". During an interview with Paul Zollo that appears in the book Songwriters on Songwriting, Cohen speaks about composing "Never Any Good" and a verse not included in the final recording:
AllMusic: "It's easy to note important omissions - 'Came So Far for Beauty,' 'If It Be Your Will,' and 'First We Take Manhattan' are perhaps the most missed - but what's here chronicles both the continuance of Cohen's talent as a songwriter and the improvement in his deepened voice and record-making abilities in this portion of his career."
All songs written by Leonard Cohen except as noted.
