A standout feature is its reliance on cover songs, including two Bob Dylan compositionsCatfish (a then-unreleased track co-written with Jacques Levy) and The Man in Meas well as Leon Russells A Song for You, delivered with Cockers signature raw passion, while also including the rare co-written original Born Thru Indifference. Fan favorites often highlight the reggae-infused The Man in Me for its heartfelt intensity in Cockers preferred style, the slinky groove of Catfish, and the emotionally charged A Song for You, making the record a compelling showcase of his interpretive power and eclectic musical reach. The album reached No. 70 on the US Billboard chart.
