I’m Your Fan: The Songs of Leonard Cohen is a tribute album to Leonard Cohen, released in 1991, produced by the French music magazine Les Inrockuptibles.
The album features Cohen’s songs interpreted by some of the most respected Rock acts of the time. Its name is a play on the title of Cohen’s album I’m Your Man.
The album includes two different covers of “Tower of Song”, one by Robert Forster and another by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The latter version is a radical deconstruction of the song, edited from an hour-long jam session held by the band.
Of particular interest are R.E.M.’s “First We’ll Take Manhattan” and The Pixies’ “I Can’t Forget.”
