Editorial Review: Album Description: Nearly four decades after he thrilled the throngs at Woodstock, Joe Cocker remains one of rock's pre-eminent survivors, recording and touring prolifically and maintaining a loyal worldwide fan base. On Hymn For My Soul "The Sheffield Soul Shouter" delivers a stellar album that includes songs by Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, the Meters, John Fogerty, Percy Mayfield and more. The album was produced by Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne), the son of Glyn Johns, who was the engineer on many of Cocker's early albums. Fantasy has the exclusive U.S. release of this album, which contains the bonus track "Come Together," from the Across The Universe soundtrack. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Classic Voice, Trite Song SelectionThe minute that old gravelly voice comes through the speakers it makes you just want to smile. The fact that one of Rock's classic voices is still in such fine form is reason enough to appreciate and buy this CD. I could only wish that the song selection created a feeling that there were some classics here that will stand the test of time. The haunting rendition of Creedence's "Long as I Can See the Light" comes closest, and is a tremendous bluesy take on an original swamp classic. The rest just don't seem to measure up to the best of Cocker's interpretations. Mediocre song choice, but Oh, how that voice still sends chills up your spine!!! Rating:  - WHAT A VOICE ......THIS IS THE !!!!! MAN JOE COCKER40 YEARS ONE OF THE BEST VOICES UNCLE JOE IS ONE OF THE BEST Rating:  - Joe Cocker "Hymn for my soul"I love Joe Cocker and have all of his cd's. This was very disappointing to me.. Slow and not typical of his previous works. I would not recommend this to anyone. Rating: - From an unbeliever to a super-believer fan.....I've never been a fan of Joe Cocker, beginning from his Woodstock days. My husband has always been a big fan of his, especially since Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen album. I had to listen to that one over & over, ad naseum, etc. I saw Joe in August on The View, promoting his new "album". He was very charming, & performed his title song of this "album", as I guess I'll always call it. "Hymn for my Soul" is just a beautiful song--I fell in love. My husband's birthday was coming up, so I ordered it for him. I am now a certified fan of Joe. The version of "Come Together" is definitly the best I have ever heard, even better than the original. Sorry I've dissed you all these years, Joe. You are a true artist, & my husband ...

"You Haven't Done Nothin'" is simply one of the best tracks Cocker has recorded. He plucks George Harrison's "Beware of Darkness" from the All Things Must Pass [BOXED EDITION] album and fully embodies the track with its now familiar melody and transforms the meditative song into a slow soul crooner, "The hopelessness around you, in the dead of night, beware of sadness." Percy Mayfield's "River's Invitation" is another pearl with Benmont Tench's piano giving the perfect accent to the bouncy arrangement about a guy about ready to throw himself into the river, "I'm trying ...
