Filed under: News, Video, Exclusive, Movies It's well documented that in 1970, the Isle of Wight Festival got a little crazy. It was the third year of the festival and many of the 600,000 attendees showed up with no real intentions of paying. Sets from Bob Dylan, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix captivated the crowd while Kris Kristofferson dodged bottles thrown his way and was eventually being booed off the stage. Performers were hit or miss and there was a feeling of angst and urgency documented, with militants setting fires nearby fueling the sense of unease. Following Hendrix's performance on the last day, Leonard Cohen took the stage after being awoken from his trailer at 2AM to perform with his band 'The Army.' Documentarian Murray Lerner -- who had been nominated for an Oscar for his documentary on the Newport Folk Festival in the 1967 film 'Festival' -- was there to capture the entire event and has recently extracted Cohen's performance in a DVD/CD combo entitled 'Leonard Cohen: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970.' "I wanted to show that relationship to the crowd," Lerner tells Spinner, "and how that seemingly obscure poetry was so well received. He was surprisingly successful he was at such a tense moment."

It's, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion.... It's a rather joyous song. ~ Leonard Cohen, creator of the song, Hallelujah. He says: I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view... It's the notion that there is no perfection ~ that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything. On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances. Canadian indie singer-songwriter Allison Crowe's uniquely potent interpretation is heard on her album/CD, Tidings . (The song enjoys increasingly wide appreciation - even marching into the mainstream recently with performances by American Idol contestant Jason Castro and by UK X Factor winner Alexandra Burke and Dutch X Factor champ Lisa Hordijk, and Polish Idol contestant Kasia Popowska. Leonard Cohen himself has been inspiring audiences on his latest tour - he performed Hallelujah as the sun set on Glastonbury 2008.) I originally had a different version of 'Hallelujah' on that scene (Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II) - it was the version by Allison Crowe, and it was really beautiful. Too beautiful, as it turned out... Zack Snyder, Director, The Watchmen movie It's not hard to see why Crowe's Hallelujah -- recorded in a single take -- is popular. It's one of Leonard Cohen's most affecting songs, and the 26-year-old, accompanying herself on piano, makes it her own with raw honesty and formidable vocal power. It's simultaneously heart-breaking and redemptive, and it has captured the imaginations of people around the world. 'The song itself is just so emotionally resonant,' Crowe said modestly this week. ~ Adrian Chamberlain, Times Colonist (Canada) Bet you thought you heard all the versions you need to hear of this song, right? Think again, because Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with. She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish, and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing. ~ Record of the Day (UK) Hallelujah, by Leonard Cohen. This song has somehow become Crowe's signature, if a singer who defies description as stubbornly as she does has a signature... Cohen's original version is a spoken poem, all of the meaning contained in the words. Crowe's version is a living thing, a meditation and a celebration and a benediction. ~ anacronym (Canada) Crowe's warm, natural, passionate - and need I add lovely? - voice are perhaps shown to best effect on another glorious standard, Leonard Cohen's magnificent and deeply spiritual quest for faith, Hallelujah. ~ Martin Levin, Women's Post (Canada) j'ai rarement été bouleversée à ce point par une voix féminine. Pure comme de la glace, puissante et même violente sur la reprise de l'Hallelujah de Leonard Cohen. (en Francais - English translation follows) I have never been so moved by a woman's voice. Pure as ice, powerful and even violent on the cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. ~ SplinterMuse (France) (Jeff) Buckley especially just blew the song to pieces and every artist after him has tried and failed to put it back together. Until now. Allison Crowe manages to pump 'Hallelujah' full of all the soaring vocals and raw emotion that it requires. And the result is a big beautiful lump in the throat. ~ Muruch (USA) In a tribute to Leonard Cohen, featuring covers by Judy Collins, Martha Wainwright, Nick Cave, Katie Melua and others, MOJO says: Once famously described by the Vancouver Courier as possessing a style akin to 'Elton John meets Edith Piaf', the Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe is renowned for her ability to blend control and melodrama. Allison's hometown covers the whole of Canada - from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island to Corner Brook, Newfoundland. It's a land rich with songs of glory, joy and rare, natural, beauty. http://www.allisoncrowe.com
