I Can Stand a Little Rain

I Can Stand a Little Rain is the fourth studio album by Joe Cocker, released in August 1974, and occasionally considered[by whom?]

I Can Stand a Little Rain found the singer working with top songwriters and session players, including Chuck Rainey, Cornell Dupree and Bernard Purdie, as well as future Toto founder members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro.

Some of the writers, like Randy Newman and Jimmy Webb, ended up performing on Cocker's covers of their songs.

The rest of the songs recorded during the sessions were released in April 1975 on Cocker's next album Jamaica Say You Will, which was not equally successful.

In 2013, "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" was re-recorded by Jimmy Webb in a duet with Joe Cocker.
