This wasn't exactly a comeback album, but it did boost Joe Cocker's veteran blues profile quite a bit. The title song, which gave Cocker the excuse to do his best Ray Charles imitation, was a hit (no doubt due, in part, to Clarence Clemmon's supporting saxophone work), and "A Woman Loves a Man" wasfeatured prominently on the soundtrack to Kevin Costner's baseball flick BULL DURHAM. Much of the rest of the album is very slick and very '80s - the backing track for "Trust in Me" would have been right at home on a John Waite album - but the songs are generally tuneful and Cocker sings the pants off of all of them, in particular the attractively Stones/Faces derived "Satisfied".



Unchain My Heart was the release Joe Cocker had been rebuilding for. The title cut returned him to the Top 40, and the song "A Woman Loves a Man" followed it there along with it being included in the Bull Durham film soundtrack. A solid effort from a veteran.

James Chrispell - All Music Guide



Bei Joe Cocker ist Musik noch Musik und nicht Spielerei an gigantischen Schaltpulten, seine Stimme veredelt solide Kompositionen zu Spitzensongs. So auch auf "Unchain My Heart", das die Fans des Balladensängers und des Rhythm & Blues-Shouters Cocker gleichermaßen zufriedenstellen dürfte. Den angenehm angerauhten Sound geben CD und LP identisch wieder. * LP-Kritik: stereoplay 12/87

Isolation

People say we got it made don't they know we're so afriad
we're afraid to be alone, everbody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation

All the world is a little town
everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don't expect you to understand
after you caused so much pain
But the again you're not to blame
your just a human, a victim of the insane

We're afrain of everyone, afraid of the sun
Isolation

The Sun will never disappear
but the world my not have many years
Isolation


The One

So a time has come
and you lost your way
The light is gone and live is insane
A change is on the way
If your on the road or here at home
You've got to know, you got someone who loves you
All along the way

Refr:

It's one for the other forever true
Keepin the nights on the run
And lover to lover light on the move
Higher and higher finding that we are the one
We are the one

I don't even know anything
But how I feel the way that I do
I found me in you
And when time is up and the world is gone
I know one thing will carry on
I wont be there I'll be there with you

Refr:

It's one for the other forever true
Keepin the night on the run
And lover to lover light on the move
Higher and higher finding that we are the one
We are the one (2x)

I've got to make it
I've got a song to write
I've got a lot to say
I've got someone who loves me
All along the way

Refr:

It's one for the other forever true
Keepin the night on the run
And lover to lover light on the move
Higher and higher finding that we are the one
We are the one (3x)
