Joe Cocker Self Titled Album Songs Ranked
Joe Cocker is the third studio album by Joe Cocker, released in 1972 in Europe as Something to Say on Cube Records, and in the USA as Joe Cocker on A&M Records. It contains the hit single “High Time We Went”, which was released in the summer of 1971. Joe Cocker signaled Cocker’s change of direction into a more jazzy, blues style. The album reached no. 30 in the US album charts. However, although it received a positive response from the press, it made no impression on the British and European charts. The album, re-titled as Something to Say, was originally released on CD in 1990 by Castle Communications and in 1998 a remastered edition of the album was released worldwide on A&M Records. Alan White, soon to be Yes’ drummer, played on this album alongside Jim Keltner, after he was featured on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass and John Lennon’s Live Peace in Toronto, Imagine and Sometime in New-York City albums. Conrad Isidore played with Steve Stills and Hummingbird, among others. Percussionist Rebop Kwaku Baah was known for his work with Traffic and the German band Can.

9. Something to Say
“Joe Cocker had a long and distinguished career as an interpreter of others songs. A soulful singer, Cocker owned the Randy Newman songs he covered (along with Harry Nilsson). What’s not remembered is that a cocker was also a very good songwriter.”
8. Black-Eyed Blues
“His songwriting career largely was put on hold by his third album; Thar’s too bad because he and a Chris Stainton made a formidable writing team. There’s no doubt he was still a great interpreter of others material but he also was a terrific interpreter of his own.”
7. St. James Infirmary
“This album also remains rather forgotten as it doesn’t have his biggest hits. This is a very solid collection of originals and covers. It’s too bad that it hasn’t gotten more notice over the years but this is the secret gem in his catalog.”

6. She Don’t Mind
“A pretty solid release from the often inconsistent Joe Cocker. Part studio, part live, Joe delivers some classic soul along with a touch of drunken stupor to give you a pretty good idea of what was happening in the early 70 Cocker caravan.”
5. Do Right Woman
“It was great,just like the old days of rock and roll. Joe cmusic is fantastic some songs I have never heard or don’t remember,it is quite refreshing to hear them all.”
4. High Time We Went
“Wow! This is a really fun album that showcases so many different sides of this versatile singer. He is equally wonderful rocking bluesy tunes and singing tender ballads. Great collection of songs.”

3. Woman to Woman
“What can you say about Joe Cocker except he was right up there with the other greats. Here was a man who was a singer. Just give him a mike and let him go. He felt the music and we felt the music.”
2. Midnight Rider
“Joe Cocker possesses a great talent and we are all better off for his sharing his giftedness with us. This is a great Joe Cocker album for his fans; and it’s also a great starter CD for people just discovering the fine artistry of Joe Cocker.”
1. Pardon Me Sir
“True music is hard to define, but I believe that you can hear it in the voice of people that have actually felt pain, and that is why in this modern day of pop, sizzle, and shine music that seems to be coming out lately, Joe Cocker will always stand out.”
