I like it . Fresh, distinctive folk sound tho' so overdubbed she sounds like the Roches. She missed a few lines, or purposely omitted them. I won a copy of one of her CDs from the WFMU marathon and hope it's this one.

I actually think it's one of the best cohen-covers I have ever heard

I usually don't think that anyone besides the man himself can pull it of, but Marissa Nadler does exactly this.

Here's a live performance on YouTube. Lousy videography, not as strong as the overdubbed recording but still pretty:
