专辑简介:
This was and continues to be one of the greatest albums of all time. In fact, it gets better as I get older. I'm less focused now on the strength and control of the voice, more on the pure human feeling he pours into it.
Originally released in 1969, it came out in an era of powerful soul-rock singers. But Leon Russell's contribution, along with Joe Cocker's voice, set it apart musically.
I heard my first Joe Cocker song while sitting in a rathskeller in Lake George NY drinking beer with a noisy group of friends. The opening of "She Came In through the Bathroom Window" -- a single drumbeat and then Joe roaring in with the title phrase, followed with the Beatles-style honkytonk piano and guitar work -- and I was shutting up everyone at the table. Sshh! Who is that? Who is that singing?
And I was a goner, and continue to be so. My favorite song on the album is the smoky Delta Lady, but there are so many good cuts here. The instrumental work is extraordinary. Great work like this, even 45 years later, just doesn't age.
