Beset by business misfortunes, illness, and long layoffs, Joe Cocker's career has been one of the most fitful in rock. Yet after each downturn, Cocker has rebounded to new heights. No mere pretty face he, Cocker's incomparable bluesy rasp and eccentric stage mannerisms (once described as a "bad case of muscular dystrophy exacerbated by Parkinson's disease") have made him a favorite of musical impressionists from John Belushi to Billy Joel. But Cocker's evocative voice and unique phrasing have no peer. The Anthology traces the singer from his first single (a surprisingly faithful 1964 cover of Lennon-McCartney's "I'll Cry Instead") to the heights of "Feelin' Alright" to the worldwide No. 1 Jennifer Warnes duet "Up Where We Belong." Add to the list manic collaborations with ringmaster Leon Russell and the legendary Mad Dogs and Englishman period, highlighted by Cocker's brilliant interpretation of "With A Little Help From My Friends" and covers of "The Letter," "Honky Tonk Women," and "Cry Me A River." Like most gifted jazz and blues singers, Cocker can take the most shopworn standard and make it his own. Though it sidesteps the singer's late '80's and 90's output, this 37-track collection offers up the gifted Cocker in his various permutations and makes a sound case that this is a singer for the ages. --Jerry McCulley

- Excellent Anthology!

This is the way record labels should create decent anthologies for performers like Joe Cocker. A single disc set would have left too many key tracks off and a box set (like the one A&M released several years ago) just seems way too much. Over the course of two, jam-packed discs, fans can regale themselves with all the key cuts that matter, an early, rare single and cuts from Sheffield Steel (his finest comeback album originally available from Island) as well as "Up Where We Belong". Beautifully remastered, lovingly annotated. This is a must-have for seventies rock fans who shouldn't feel guilty about retiring earlier best-of discs. Anthology lives up to its title and does Cocker justice.

- This, And THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, Are The Essential Cocker

ANTHOLOGY, JOE COCKER!, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS, MAD DOGS & ENGLISHMEN, THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, SOMETHING TO SAY, I CAN STAND A LITTLE RAIN, and RESPECT YOURSELF, taken together, are the essential Joe Cocker. While the first three albums are nothing short of essential, You should get both anthologies and the later records I've mentioned as well because contrary to what some fans and critics will tell you, the later years have not been wasted entirely, and Cocker has also grown into a richer, deeper vocalist as he has aged. If you get all of the albums I've mentioned, you will not, in spite of what some revisionists might say, be cluttering up your living space. Instead, you will be hearing how a great voice has grown and developed through the years.

- This will take you back to 1969........Great Music by Joe..with 2 CD's of great music

If you want to slide back to the late 60's and enjoy nothing but Joe Cocker and his best music , This is the deal of the world......

I decided to check out music back from 69 when we have Nam and Hippies and the world was one big world of fun stones out group and pissed off Vets on the other side.

We didn't have the Fed's in our face lying to us even though we kinda thought they were doing it and artists like Cocker were telling us....Hell I was only in my early 20"s married and just back from a combat tour of Nam,

America was in a state we will never see again, It was confusion but not filled with the outrage and overall anger and cheating we have going on now,,

You can put today's worries behind you and kick back and enjoy those of us that got to live these good old days..

I would rate this as a definite Buy It if you are interested in that time period and want your money's worth and then some.
