Joe Cocker!
is the
second
studio album
by English
singer
released in
November 1969.
Following the template
of his first LP,
the album features
numerous covers
of songs
originally performed
by
Bob Dylan
("Dear Landlord"),
The Beatles
"She Came in Through the Bathroom Window"
and
"Something"
both released
almost simultaneously
with original versions;
"Let It Be"
was also recorded
and released
(as a B-side),
Leonard Cohen
("Bird on the Wire"),
and future
touring partner
Leon Russell
"Delta Lady"
and
“Hello Little Friend”.
Cocker also
co-wrote
one song,
"That's Your Business Now",
with
Chris Stainton,
who was a
frequent
songwriting partner.
Cocker is backed by
the Grease Band,
two of whom,
Chris Stainton
and
Henry McCullough,
appeared on
his first album.
The Grease Band
backed the singer
at the
Woodstock Festival
in August 1969.
However,
Cocker would
part ways
with the group
following the
release of this record,
citing a
reluctance to tour;
when they needed
to meet
live commitments
in America,
Cocker decided to
organize a
New band
(the Mad Dogs and Englishmen)
with the help
of keyboardist
Leon Russell,
heralding a
new musical direction
for the singer
on his
subsequent
studio releases.
