A nicely chosen collection of Joe Cocker's work. Despite its several producers, aka 'Best Ballads' is also a surprisingly cohesive album. If you didn't know any better, you might conclude that all these songs were recorded during the same sessions.
Though Cocker's milieu is of the mid-tempo variety, the songs are a varied lot, and the gravel-voiced singer is at his lung-ripping best. He's equally at home with the tortured erotic ironies of Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On," and the gentle romantic pleading of Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word." There's also a beautifully understated remake of one of Cocker's signature tunes, "You Are So Beautiful," which producer Don Was sagely recasts as a sort of folk ballad.
