THE LONG VOYAGE HOME is a comprehensive overview of Joe Cocker's career. Its 63 tracks range from his first single (a 1965 remake of the Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead") through his performance of "With A Little Help From My Friends" at Woodstock 94.

Digitally remastered by David Collins (A&M Mastering Studios). 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 1964 (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. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
