”Delta Lady”

The Most Successful Song from Leon Russell Made Famous By Joe Cocker

“Avro Icons”

You know, Don Was did produce a lot of musicians that were outside his retro wheelhouse, yet his most known work’s in the latter. But what is his approach actually like? Well, Organic by Joe Cocker reveals that, because he – as I have said before – modernizes the musicians he works with and that album does show that succintly, i.e. Joe Cocker makes another versions of his most famous songs with some tunes added he should’ve covered ages ago. Of course, this approach can lead into a really bad karaoke, yet Was somehow puts Cocker in a mode, where he doesn’t go through motions. We can’t say the same for the musicians that go all way too professional, whenever they do this type of records, though maybe they would’ve needed Don Was to make them better.
