I found my copy of "Hymns of the 49th Parallel", K. D. Lang's wonderful album of Canadian covers! Hallelujah!!
But I can't find my CD bag with all my other CDs 
.
Oh well. A couple more tracks from that great CD (After the Gold Rush by Neil Young and A Case of You by Joni Mitchell):

That is a fantastic CD isn't it? I also have a copy.
I hope you are able to find your other CDs.

I love K.D.'s version of Hallelujah! It's my favourite (sorry Mr.Cohen...she perfected your song).

Personally, as much as I like K.D.'s version, I prefer either John Cale's cover or Jeff Buckley's. Find the old thread on cover songs. I posted both of them there. And for "Bird on a Wire" (the other Cohen song on the album), I prefer Jennifer Warnes.On the other hand, Lang's Neil Young and Jane Siberry covers hit the mark perfectly.

I have mixed feelings about Jeff Buckley's music. His voice was beautiful but also so haunting I get almost a creepy chill when i listen to him.

I agree. This is one of the few times when I have liked a cover version more than the original. I like Leonard Cohen's version, but kd lang's version is almost indescribable in its' beauty to me.
