Hard Knocks

Joe Cocker has been a major player in the music business for more than fourty years. He has released 21 studio and four live albums. His unmistakable bluesy soul voice is a musical trademark in its own right. He is a Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning artist.
The 10 new tracks on Hard Knocks were recorded with Matt Serletic at the helm. It’s the first collaboration between him and Cocker. The recording sessions took place in Serletic’s own Emblem studios in Los Angeles involving a host of acclaimed musicians like Ray Parker Jr., Tim Pierce and Joel Shearer on guitar, Josh Freese, Matt Chamberlain and Dorian Crozier on drums, Chris Chaney on bass and Jamie Muhoberac on keyboards. The songs were mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
