Joe Cocker
Cocker
Genre: …rrroockkk?
2 out of 5
Highlights:
You Can Leave Your Hat On
Hear those synths!? THAT is the sound of an artist losing the narrative. Somehow, on “Don’t You Love Me Anymore”, Cocker, he of a singularly recognizable voice in pop music, sounds generic and anonymous. It takes some pretzel twisting to make that happen.
Everybody loved “You Can Leave Your Hat On”, sure, but, I submit that 40% of that stems from it’s association with 9 1/2 Weeks. It’s a fine piece of sultry R&B but no sexier than anything Robert Palmer has ever done.
