Joe Cocker
Nick Kent, NME, 27 January 1973
SO WHAT'S this? Joe Cocker talking to the Press? Can it be Sheffield's own recluse-superstar, the man who returned from the Godforsaken land of Rock'n'Roll Casualty (for further reference look up Green Peter, Clapton Eric, Barrett Syd) to a rather awkward resurrection in '72, here giving interviews? Well whaddyaknow.
