Unlike Cocker's two previous studio albums, NIGHT CALLS was produced by several different hands, a decision that ultimately pays off in the album's overall variety (the title track, for example, with its sampled drums and multiple guitar lines courtesy of writer/producer Jeff Lynne, doesn't sound anything at all like the rest of the record). In any case, Cocker is clearly energized throughout, particularly on Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and a mysterioso take on Steve Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home." Best of all is the re-imagining of the Beatles "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." Cocker casts it as an impassioned piece of neo-Gospel, which is a conceptual masterstroke in a league with his classic take on "With a Little Help From My Friends."
