New collaborations with Sharon Robinson led to her producing his next album, Ten New Songs (2001). In the late-90s, Leonard Cohen became a Buddhist, spending time in a Zen retreat writing new material. A couple of tribute albums came out, the second of which was entitled Tower of Song and featured covers of Cohen’s songs by superstars like Billy Joel, Elton John, Sting, Peter Gabriel, and others. Three tracks from the album were featured in the movie Natural Born Killers.

The Future was released in ’92, becoming his biggest success in Canada (in terms of studio albums), where it went 2x Platinum. In 1988, the more pop-oriented, electronic-tinged I’m Your Man came out and first introduced what has become one of Cohen’s best-known songs in Canada-“Everybody Knows”. To the disappointment of fans, they split in 1980 due to a perceived inability to continue their success but in 1992 reunited and came out with an album in 1998. In 1972, they toured UK and Europe, where they discovered their “Sweet City Woman” was already covered by the Dick Clark 5. booking agency, Premier Talent, in 1971 which led to American tour appearances with a number of high-profile acts like Santana, Joe Cocker, Steve Miller, Steely Dan, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Earth, Wind And Fire, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and Genesis. In Toronto, with their cowboy gear, they were a curiosity in the folk-oriented, hippie clubs of the Yorkville district. Yearning for better things, a six-man, mostly under-aged band at the time, they travelled across Canada to Toronto in 1966 in a Cadillac limousine pulling a U-Haul trailer playing in bars and to pay their way, as they crossed the country. With the concept of cowboys playing rock and roll, The Stampeders dressed up in assorted-coloured denim, and wore cowboy boots and hats, playing their first year in Calgary. Though best remembered for their chart-topper “Sweet City Woman”, they scored a total of 15 Top 40 hits including “Carry Me” and “Wild Eyes” which peaked at #2. They had several lineup changes over the years, but the core consisted the three players above.
