This is a marvellous collection of cover versions of Leonard’s songs - all of them in Norwegian and by famous female artists of Norway. It does not matter at all if you don’t understand the words. These versions reach the deepest meanings of Leonard’s songs.

"Hadde månen en søster" means "If the moon had a sister", and comes from "The Law" in "Various Positions".

The CD was released on September 21st, 1993, on Leonard’s 59th birthday. There is also a promo single (FXS 18) with "Dans meg gjennom kropp og ånd". The artists have appeared several times on the Norwegian television, especially Kari Bremnes.

Musicians: CC Cowboys (Magnus Grønneberg, Trond Berg, Agne Saether and Håvard Eidsaunet). Project leaders Lars Ulseth and Tom Skjeklesaether.

Somebody’s Darlings are Liz-Tove Vespestad and Tine Valand.
