Music News:  Joe Cocker Australian Tour

Joe Cocker hits Oz!

For many, Joe Cocker is the gravelly voiced charmer who - for almost half a decade - seranaded us with his vocals at the beginning of each and every episode of The Wonder Years. For others, he his held in higher regard.

Soul man, Cocker, is finally returning to Australia for his "Hymn For My Soul" tour in January 2008. The man (who often sounds like someone took to his vocal chords with a cheese grater) is following up a sold-out European tour and hitting Australia for a string of shows across the country.
