This album is smooth and mellow with a jazzy feel. The album has a diverse array of music. Track #1 ("You Can Leave Your Hat On") is perfect when you want to get frisky with your lover. When you want to relax with your significant other, put this CD in your player and play track #2 "You Are So Beautiful." This is a wonderful album. It has all my favorite Joe Cocker songs. "Have A Little Faith In Me" is my most favorite Joe Cocker song. Hollywood has even used this song in Look Who's Talking, Now. This album is full of love and support songs. Every song can bring you closer to you loved one. His voice is soothing. His voice is unique, but I think you could call this album a "make-out" CD. This album would fall under the same category as Barry White without the deep bass voice. This album has the same feel. (Review from Amazon)
