A Led Zeppelin reunion is great and all, but what if your interest in the music of the 1960s and 70s runs not in the direction of riffs and stomps but rather toward quieter waters. What of baritone vocals? What of steadily strummed acoustic guitars? What of poetry and references to fellatio received on an unmade bed in the Chelsea Hotel?

Fear not, gentle-music lover. Leonard Cohen has you covered. According to a post on the elderly songwriter's official forum (via Mojo's blog), "Leonard Cohen will be touring with his band in Canada and [the] U.S. in May and in Europe in the summer. More details will be announced in February." This tour will be Cohen's first in 15 years, according to Mojo. The blog also mentions a new Leonard Cohen album due out later this year.

But first, Cohen will make his way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10.
