..the arrived at the work here is far from. the beginning bodes well - the old Cohen song "First We Take Manhattan" has what! which I confess has his old duet partner named Jennifer Warnes has a more coherent version added ... also song "different roads" Likes quite. but from then comes across primarily on a difficult to put into words Ender impressive. namely creeps me while listening to the feeling that the music does not match the song, or to vote. it acts as if it has taken ne unveroeffentliche recording an artist - has left the singing and the music has been re-recorded. Since there are few examples of how Elvis Presley in which it has also been sounded funny. somehow not consistent. just as it sounds to me too! verarrangiert, ueberarrangiert. to take two examples times. the old Winwood song "While You See A Chance". The music is rather muzak than that it has something to do with the song, the text or his voice. the song does not fire, music and song are not combined. otherwise it creates Joe Cocker at reinterpretations of songs that you almost forget the original version. here I miss the version of Stevie Winwood painful ... Example number two this "my father`s son". in the background a kind yelps country / Steel guitar - what ever does not fit. plus an electric piano that is heard repeatedly. a really good piano sound - nothing at all against. But here I think spontaneously at a wedding celebration, in which the bride and groom has a solo entertainer booked with keyboard for background music. just sounds the electric piano here. the voice is still propagated strongly, but unfortunately some "unfavorable" added. Again, as for "While You See A Chance". Those who listen carefully will always ask to come in which Joe breath sounds. you can hear literally as part of her singing was zusammengestueckelt (what logo in almost any recording is so ... but you have the do not even hear it!). Conclusion: good song material. nice to listen to. joe are all voice of the, but also compared to more recent works such. BSP. "Night Calls" this is at best below average.
