Hattie Webb Waltz For Leonard

[musicmania]

Hattie released a new album called Wild Medicine today. So far it is a digital release, but she has said physical copies will be made available. I'm only on my first listen, but it's a stunning piece of work. The song Waltz For Leonard is so full of feeling. I've been deeply moved, from just one listen.

I’m with you on “Waltz For Leonard”, it hits hard emotionally. The whole vibe of the album feels really cohesive and immersive.

“I had the best seat in the house to watch Leonard Cohen from two meters away play every night, witness his process, and absorb the way he structured his creative life, which really influenced me.” – Hattie Webb

GM: On your new tribute “Waltz for Leonard,” you mentioned Lissadell, three hours directly north of where I spent time in Limerick, Ireland.

HW: Lissadell House is in County Sligo, and we played there with Leonard in a beautiful outdoor space. It has a huge history. There were a few poets that he immersed himself in and Yeats was one of them. Yeats’ poem “In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markievicz” begins with, “The light of evening, Lissadell. Great windows open to the south. Two girls in silk kimonos, both beautiful, one a gazelle.” Leonard recited Yeats’ poem that evening. It was an extraordinary space to be in. After the concert we went into Lissadell House. There was a little soiree where we had food, wine, and a discussion. It was magical. Whenever I am in these historic places, I like to go downstairs, because normally in the belly of the houses there are a lot of the original kitchens, and I am always fascinated by that. At Lissadell House, it is very much steeped in 18th century architecture, like a wooden cupboard that looked like it was opened ten thousand times before by many hands. I just can’t help but go back in time.
