THE REVIEW
We are in the year 1984, simultaneously worldwide, "Civilized Man" the ninth official album by Joe Cocker is released.
The album flows in an incredible way, especially on rainy days. Inside, you can find many ballads. ""Long drag off a cigarette"", beautiful and unique. I don't want to overlook other wonderful tracks like "Civilized Man" which gives the album its name and launches a roaring sound. The remaining tracks "Come on in", "Tempted", "I love the night", "Hold On", "There goes my baby" are also excellent songs but not as noteworthy.
There's still "A girl like you" which gives a slight jolt of movement. Also, "Crazy in love" is a wonderful ballad... crazy in love, it says it all. The finale with "Even a fool would let go"... is amazing, an unforgettable track. A song that truly deserves the entire album.
This album,wants to be a small rebirth. Perhaps the official one, but not yet very famous. Joe Cocker is coming back... and you can feel it!
Long live the 80s, long live 1984, a great year, my year!
