Songs of Leonard Cohen
Willie Ruff, bass Interview with John Hammond and Leonard Cohen BBC, September 20, 1986 "The support that Willie Ruff brought to those sessions was crucial. I couldn’t have laid down those tracks without him. He supported the guitar playing so well. He could always anticipate my next move, he understood the song so thoroughly. He was one of those rare musicians that play selflessly, and for pure and complete support." — Leonard Cohen |
