Leonard Cohen covers are pretty much their own genre (and I almost went with Concrete Blonde's "Everybody Knows"), but "Closing Time" is not one of the usual suspects. His original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-0lV5qs1Qw
Fairport Convention's cover, which I enjoy just a touch more, to be honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duTarbJNcTg

Oooo that's a great cover.
Man I am loving this thread. So many wonderful interpretations and homages to some fantastic songs.

I have never heard this cover. I would still take Leonard's version but this is fun.

Fairport Convention
It's been years since I last listened to them. Thanks for bringing back fond memories!

You're welcome! Note that this is FC without either Sandy (of course) or Richard.

What genre would these fall under?
I think I like the cover more \m/

Completely missed this comment earlier -- sorry! I'd say folk or folk-rock, though the lines can often blur a bit.
