Because he's one of the greatest performers of our time. His live work - solo or otherwise - is amazing. Not many singers/songwriters can pull off the variety that Dax presents.
Cohen was an amazing writer, and his early stuff had some awesome vocals. But yeah, during the years I call the "post-singing era", he kind of became a joke to me in regards to his music... Too much synthesizer, midi quality orchestra instruments, and spoken-word songs. The original Tower of Song is unlistenable to me... But Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat is even better than Dax's cover, for instance.
Yeah I think most people feel that way about Leonard. Dax just seems to have an uncanny way of making a really good Leonard Cohen tune into something unbelievably magnificent.
Best voice in a long time. Eat that American Idol!
