One of the real heroes of British rock Joe Cocker is one of the few artists who you instantly recognize after half a bar. His haunting rasp, full of pathos and carried by the weight of a life lived on the edge of regret and self-doubt, is Cocker's calling card. 2002's Respect Yourself finds the master interpreter in fine form belting out moving renditions of "You Took It So Hard", "This Is Your Life" and "It's Only Love" among others.
