As with so many other acts also applies for Joe Cocker to the following: The debut album is the best. Joe Cocker is a musician whose success all attributed to gecoverte songs: "Unchain My Heart", "Summer in the City", "Could You Be Loved" and many other songs are an example of this. Cocker was never a big songwriter and also on this album 90% of the songs are gecovert. The eternal imitation can hold against him from out of me on every album - he coverte eg 1969 two songs from "Abbey Road", which first appeared in the same year itself, and grabbed it on his 2nd album - only in this album remains a the spit away! The songs are all gecovert but as gecovert. I think about the version of the Beatles song "With A Little Help From My Friends" we need not to speak - Remember Woodstock. Cocker makes this song, which was for the Beatles no big deal for worldwide hit! "Do not Let Me Misunderstood" is compared to the Animals version a bit romantic and his hoarse voice fits better with the song as the Eric Burdon. The same can be said of the two Bob Dylan songs "Just Like A Woman" and "I Shall Be Released" get through him first full development. The band around Cocker is also excellent. Jimmy Page, guitarist of Led Zeppelin's worship has played one of the party, as well as Steve Winwood, who on the Jimi Hendrix Experience "Electric Ladyland". Thus, songs like Feelin 'Alright "and" Bye Bye Blackbird "to real Soul Jewels My rating: the first and last time 5 star for Mr. Cocker!
