I'm Your Fan

I'm Your Fan is a tribute album to Leonard Cohen, released in 1991 on the British record label EastWest Records .

The album features Cohen's songs interpreted predominantly by folk and indie rock musicians. A later Cohen tribute album, Tower of Song, featured a more mainstream popular lineup of performers.

The album is also unusual for a tribute album, in that one song, "Tower of Song", is included in two different versions, by Robert Forster and by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

For the album's American release, R.E.M.'s rendition of "First We Take Manhattan" and House of Love 's "Who By Fire" (the lead tracks on each side of the vinyl and cassette versions) were swapped so that R.E.M., the most popular American rock band of the era, led the album. In all other countries where the album was released, however, the R.E.M. track appears on Side Two.
