Leonard Cohen's first album

It was only recently that I heard this record through good speakers with lots of bass for the first time. I was knocked out by the bassline on So Long Marianne, but there's no credits on the album. Anybody know who played on that cut? Or willing to hazard an educated guess?

I, uh, think Roscoe might be a little young to have played on Leonard Cohen's album from '68. As far as I know, I"m Your Man is the first Cohen album he played on. He contributed to Leonard's LAST album (Dear Heather), but it doesn't make sense for him to have played on his first. He looks to be under 40!

Edit: Your resource shows Recent Songs as the first Cohen album with Beck. Still pretty far from his first!
