Fine Cocker retrospective!

Not as familiar with Joe Cocker's overall output, I took a chance with this box set. 4 cd's worth? Would it follow the notorious pattern of other 4 cd sets? You know...2 cd's of great material(the box set "hook" if you will)...followed up by 2 cd's of filler and weak odds'n ends. Fear not!!
I decided to listen to this box starting with cd #4, then work up to #1. I was very surprised at the consistant quality of Joe Cocker's music through the years. Sure, the early stuff sounds,well...like the early stuff.The later like,well....the later! Nowhere did I feel I was being "bamboozled" with filler material. The whole box set smokes! This is truely all the Joe Cocker you'll need in one comprehensive package. I really like this guy, he's for real.

Oh Joe, you're TOO much!!

If you love Joe Cocker, you probably have most of these tunes already (as I have). I was pleased to find a few that I've never even heard, no less owned. The ultimate Joe Cocker collection put out to date.
