We celebrate much freedom, we disagree
over big and small issues, we bury our friends
too soon – in the background the music
is always there, always playing, the music unites
us, allows us to forget or get by. We celebrate
to music and sometimes because of the music.
Lets begin with the Beatles. They forever changed Rock
and Roll, paved the way for endless others,
yet they themselves were inspired by music.
Throughout the Beatles recordings you can recognize
and feel the influences of Elvis Presley, Chuck
Berry and Little Richard. One of the blues originals
Elmore James had a huge influence on John and
George.
This
season and forever we should celebrate the music,
we celebrate forty years since those Liverpool
lads conquered the U.S. and we are given yet
another gift. Through old recordings of John
Lennon, often playing just a guitar or piano
while developing songs we get one more CD from
Lennon. One more piece of insight into this
musician who had so much music inside him –
you’ve got to wonder if somehow he knew
he would only be here for a short time. Strip
out the production leaving an instrument and
vocals we get John Lennon Acoustic.
 John
Lennon – Acoustic
{2004 | Capitol}
A
beautiful CD! Easily among my favorites.
17
songs that are raw, full of soul and reaping
of mojo. If you are looking for the production
versions of these popular songs then this CD
is not for you. The songs, music and vocals
are pure – love this CD! We can only
imagine all the songs, the music Lennon would
have given us over the last 20 years if he were
here today. He died too soon.
