Hard Knocks – Joe CockerView More By Joe Cocker Our ReviewJoe Cocker's punching harder these days than he was several decades ago, when he moved from raw soul man to polished balladeer. "Unforgiven" still evokes memories of Cocker's sentimental side, with keyboards that recall his '80s work, while "Runaway Train" goes for '80s funk. But on the title track, "Get On," and "The Fall," he comes out swinging in vintage style, playing into the role of the aged singer who's down but not out. Though he was often best known for his interpretation of songs by others, Cocker wrote nearly this entire album.

This is certainly another excellent production to add to Joe's legacy of incrediable recordings and hits....God Bless you Joe Cocker!
