Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Title: Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Category: Rock
Style: Blues Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Year: 1970
Notes: Mad Dogs & Englishmen is a live album by Joe Cocker, Date of released in 1970. The album's title is drawn from the 1931 Noël Coward song of the same name. Only four songs of the sixteen on the original album were drawn from his first two studio albums. Besides the contributions of band-mate Leon Russell, it draws equally from rock (the Rolling Stones, Traffic, Bob Dylan, the Beatles) and soul (Ray Charles, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding). Accompanying Cocker is a choir, a three-piece horn section and several drummers.
The single, "The Letter"/"Space Captain", recorded during rehearsals was Date of released to coincide with the tour. The album yielded the single "Cry Me a River"/"Give Peace a Chance."
According to the liner notes, Cocker needed to put together a band quickly for a U.S. tour that his management had organized. Russell recruited the musicians, many from his prior dealings with Delaney and Bonnie (Rita Coolidge, Carl Radle, Jim Price, Jim Horn and Jim Gordon) and The Wrecking Crew (Jim Keltner). Chris Stainton was held over from Cocker's Grease Band and Cocker's producer Denny Cordell was part of the backing vocalists.
Pete Nartez's review in Rolling Stone was generally negative, assessing that the album was "formed on a few days' notice to meet contractual obligations, and sounds like, well, like a group that was formed on a few days' notice to meet contractual obligations." He praised the tracks "Feelin' Alright", "Give Peace a Chance", and "Delta Lady", but criticised the majority of the arrangements and said that the album lacks stylistic variety. A more recent review of the box set in the magazine was more positive, calling the band "a pickup orchestra with saloon-soul swagger."
In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Bruce Eder praised the album for the unique sound created by the unconventionally large rock band. He noted that Joe Cocker's creative presence on the album was drowned out by that of Leon Russell, but held that this was not a bad thing. Rating: 4.2
