Leonard Cohen's classic song "Hallelujah," a superb example of a Canadian artist bring out the best in the work of a Canadian songwriter. This EP features three different performances of "Hallelujah" from
k.d. lang: the version from the 2010 Winter Olympics, a studio recording that appeared on her 2004 album
Hymns of the 49th Parallel, and another live take from the 2005 Juno Awards broadcast. ~ Mark Deming
