On Matador, Patricia O'Callaghan brings her special ability to find new meaning in great songs to the music of Leonard Cohen. With the backing of a great band and guest singers, Patricia explores the emotional depths and meaning of the songwriter and poet's music. Patricia O’Callaghan's idea behind the title: "The Matador Tavern is a legend in Toronto, where Cohen used to go, and which the song "Closing Time" was about. It’s a strong, evocative, and romantic title, and, well, Cohen is a bit of a matador, certainly a lady killer, and a fighter for truth, someone who’s willing to go to the edge, and like the matador, he is a dying breed." As a bonus, Matador features four Leonard Cohen songs from Patricia’s previous Marquis recordings including her celebrated version of "Hallelujah", and "The Smokey Life", a duet with Steven Page.
