by James ChrispellJoe Cocker has always been a good enterperator of other writer's material and on Civilized Man he continues to find new avenues to travel. Be it the old 50's tune "There Goes My Baby" or Squeeze's "Tempted" Joe takes a song and makes it his own. But, while nothing here isn't worth listening to, one gets the feel of Joe trying to find a new grip on what he's been doing for so long. Transitional.
