This is a well-chosen little collection of Cocker's post-comeback work, with stylistic nods to several mini-genres of the '80s and '90s. There's a little synth pop ("Shelter Me"), a couple of power ballads ("Feels Like Forever," "Don't You Love Me Anymore") and even an idiosyncratic, couldn't-be-by-anybody-else Jeff Lynne production. There's also a nod to Joe's R&B roots with a new version of Ray Charles' '50s hit "Unchain My Heart," and a '90s live version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" that sounds almost exactly like the more famous 1969 version from the Woodstock soundtrack.
