Album Notes & Community Reviews

A two-disc anthology of the Sheffield singer's recordings, from the 1969 Woodstock breakthrough of 'With a Little Help From My Friends' through the soft-rock hits of the 1980s. Cocker's gravel-voiced delivery and his interpretive approach to other writers' songs define the selection.
