One of Joe Cocker’s best and most under-appreciated works.
None of the treacle that comes up in his later work, and some smokin’ covers - exactly what Cocker does best.
As another reviewer noted, his cover of Dylan’s ˝Seven Days˝ alone is worth the price of admission, but his work on ˝Many Rivers to Cross˝ is excellent also.
While I am a fan of Steve Winwood, Cocker’s cover of ˝Talking back to the Night˝ overwhelms Winwood’s original.
Rest of the album more than carries its weight - nothing sinks to the level of filler that unfortunately appears on many of Cocker’s albums.
