Greg Dulli Sings Leonard Cohen’s ‘Paper Thin Hotel’
Afghan Whigs and Twilight Singers frontman Greg Dulli recorded this version of Leonard Cohen’s “Paper Thin Hotel” as part of Old Ideas with New Friends, a new series of Cohen covers by artists such as Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox, Old 97s’ Rhett Miller, Cold War Kids and the New Pornographers’ A.C. Newman. “I wanted to do a version of this song because I think they might be my favorite set of Leonard Cohen lyrics,” says Dulli. “I think they kind of explain and validate love all at the same time.”
