Tower of Song is a tribute album to Leonard Cohen, released in 1995 on A&M Records. Tower of Song features a largely mainstream mix of singers.
The album was savaged by many music critics, who pointed out that the album's glossy mainstream pop approach badly distorted the context of Cohen's music.[citation needed]
