AAH although I'm right he does Country the blues part shines through [/SUP]
I went to listen to some of his work, he does do country His arrangement for the posted song was close to Cocker's, did a great job too, but still no Cocker
Looks wise it reminds me of the good, the bad and the ugly.....lol....no need to explain which players fit each category...
All 3 versions are good....just different styles.....I tend to lean towards the gritty rock and roll, blues, etc....so I have to give the nod to Joe Cocker's version.....
