Joe Cocker: The Long Voyage Home
Andy Gill, MOJO, February 1996
MARTIN KEELEY'S front cover photo for Joe Cocker's first album named, of course, for his transformative cover of With A Little Help From My Friends remains one of the most extraordinary rock portraits of all time. Caught mid-howl, the lips are twisted back with a visceral, prehensile power; rat-tails from that tangled Afro mop curl into eyes that are rolled back, lost, demented.
