Joe Cocker: The Long Voyage Home

Long Voyage Home: The Silver Anniversary Collection is nearly the definitive Joe Cocker anthology, covering his recording career from the late '60s to the mid-'90s, featuring material from all the labels he recorded for -- A&M, Elektra, Island, and Capitol. After an early single from 1965 (a version of the Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead"), the set skips ahead to his late-'60s recordings with his Mad Dogs & Englishmen troupe. From there, the collection doesn't miss many of Cocker's greatest hits or favorite album tracks. In addition to the familiar tracks, there are a handful of unreleased cuts that are tantalizing for the collector; casual fans will find them of marginal interest.

Among the previously unreleased tracks here is Cocker's studio recording of "The Weight". A live version of "The Weight" was included on the 2005 deluxe reissue of Cocker's '70s live album Mad Dogs and Englishmen.
