Album Description
Cocker was the youngest son of a civil servant. He left school early and became an apprentice gas fitter. In 1961, he started his musical career in the pubs of Sheffield. Under the stage name Vance Arnold, Cocker sang with his band Vance Arnold and the Avengers. In 1963 the band supported The Rolling Stones at Sheffield City Hall. In 1964 Cocker brought out his first single, a cover of The Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead" with a new band, Joe Cocker Big Blues. This band ventured as far as France, where they played on American air bases. After a lull, Cocker teamed up with Chris Stainton, to form The Grease Band, in 1966. They were noticed by Denny Cordell, the producer of Procol Harum, The Moody Blues and Georgie Fame. Cordell set Cocker up with a residency at The Marquee Club in London.

When it comes to Soul acts that really are about soul from Britain today, many of them haven't been able to score hits within the past several years. From Elton John, Simply Red, and Phil Collins who've made quality records the past several years, it seems as if people here today would rather be interested in Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Joe Cocker has also been that kind of victim to the listeners of radio today. Although his musical blues and rock styles and standards haven't scored the past two decades, you can definitely count on him when it really comes to making quality songs. Considering the music he has made so well has shown brilliantly from his eras with AM but also overshadowed the past several years through his Captiol classics. But they come alive alone on this exclusive online album. br / br /Joe Cocker's 2007 Classic Hits, which features a different track listing than the actual Classic Cocker greatest hits album which is in record stores only, shows a much more welcomed reflection of Joe Cocker's Capitol records era during the 80's and 90's. The collection is remastered well, and shines brightly as a well-rounded reflection of Joe Cocker's brilliance and voice. There are also one or two additions from his times during his AM works, mainly You Are So Beautiful. Nevertheless, the Capitol works are what steal the show, with tracks like You Can Leave Your Hat On, and his classic rendition of Ray Charles Un-Chain My Heart. Also, this online album also shines on those overlooked Capitol tracks from Don't You Love Me Anymore, and Night Calls work well into the mix. br / br /Although the album fairs mostly well, there are a few disadvantages to the record. Classic Hits overlooks a few great tracks like his cover of Elton John's Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word from Two Rooms, and mostly focuses in on live versions of Joe's classics from his 1990 album Joe Cocker Live!, instead of using the original versions of Delta Lady and With A Little Help With My Friends. br / br /While there is so much to enjoy, Joe Cocker's Classic Hits stands still as a much better reflection of his Captiol Records era than many of the past greatest hits records like 2006's Joe Cocker Gold, and 2004's Ultimate Collection. I also feel terrible this version is not available in the stores, just through online music subscription sites only. It is a much better hits record than the actual Classic Cocker in music stores. br / br /Songs: B 1/2- br / br /Price: B+ br / br /Remastering: A- br / br /Overall: B
 The Un-chained Heart August 28, 2007

When it comes to artists these days, they are just all about hype, and not even the simple essence of true voice. That is very unfortunate with wannabes like Britney Spears, Ashlee and Jessica Simpson and other who feel like they're #1, but remain worthless on merit. That is what so many people feel about artists from years ago who've maintained there peak years ago. Joe Cocker is one of those forgotten souls. Although his presence was very strong in the 70's and 80's, many people see him today as a forgone conclusion. Yet, a new hits album has just been released that doesn't make new fans seem to come in. br / br /Classic Cocker, Joe Cocker's 2007 greatest hits album, is a single disc that mainly reflects on Joe's 80's era during his reign with Capitol Records, rather than his 70's commercial success with AM in the 70's. The songs here have all been remastered nicely, but doesn't really maintain to be definitive enough for a single disc greatest hits album. Still, there are a lot of great songs here like his hits You Can eave Your On, Shelter Me, When The Night Comes, the upbeat rendition of Ray Charles' Un-Chain My Heart, and Civilized Man. The album though does include few highlights from AM. The only constants is his smash standard You Are So Beautiful and Up Where We Belong with Jennifer Warnes from An Officer A Gentleman. br / br /While the album sounds good, there just undoubtingly leaves a whole lot more to be desired. Although it tries to be definitive from his Capitol work, it really falls short from his 1993 Best Of Joe Cocker, which did a better job of his Capitol era. There are just a lot of great songs that were overlooked here including Don't You Love Me Anymore, Feels Like Forever, Night Calls and his cover of Elton John's Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word which was featured from the Two Rooms tribute record. Also, the album instead relies on lesser-known songs Joe performed including What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted and live versions from Joe Cocker's 1990 live record of A Little help With My Friends, Edge Of A Dream and The Letter. br / br /Although it is a great buy for longtime fans of Joe Cocker, it just really misses out on bringing newcomers to Joe Cocker's music, who seem to more interested in who has to be hot today. Still, Classic Cocker does have some really good songs, but falls short on being definitive as much as previous hits records like the 2004 Ultimate Collection, and 2006's Joe Cocker Gold. I suggest if you're new to his music, you might want to try something else, because it isn't enough when his night comes. br / br /Album Cover: B br / br /Songs: C br / br /Price: C br / br /Remastering: B+ br / br /Overall: C 1/2+
