Digitally remastered by Theresa Malham (MCA Music Media Studios, Los Angeles,

An all but perfect greatest hits album covering the gruff voiced bluesman's career through the early '80s. All of his hits and best known songs are here, but there are also a lot of interesting lesser known tracks, beginning with the first--a 1964 rockabillyish take on the Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead" (featuring a young Jimmy Page on guitar) in which the singer is almost unrecognizable. Also notable are a gut-wrenching reworking of the Animals "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (a song that fits Cocker like a glove) and the wry "Catfish," Bob Dylan's apparently heartfelt paean to the legendary pitcher.
