The rare 22 piece band | Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Jamie's first pick for season 3, Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen". Released in 1970, it was the accompanying album to the film of the same name, chronicling his brisk tour of the U.S. Hailing from Sheffield, England, Joe Cocker had just two years prior made a name for himself with his cover of the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends" and his subsequent appearance at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. After being surprised by his record label with a tour, Joe assembled a band of friends in less than a week. The band consisted of 22 people - three drummers, a horn section, a choir, two guitarists, a bass play, a piano player and two percussionists. Will the boys be Feelin' Alright, or will they Drown In Their Own Tears? Come along and find out!
