Free Music Review: Pure John equals Pure Love!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, I'll tell you: I worship John Lennon and I love John Lennon. Who couldn't? After all, his kind of talent only comes along once in a billion years or so! I only wish I had met him or experienced him in concert. This CD is a worthy consolation prize, however; it is a fine collection of pure John simply being John: singing from the heart and playing the guitar on his own.
The listener does get three songs of Lennon during two of his live performances in 1971; "The Luck Of The Irish" and "John Sinclair" were performed live in Ann Arbor, Michigan and "Imagine" was recorded during a live performance John gave at The Apollo Theater in the same year. John's rapport with his audiences was excellent; you can tell by the recordings here that they hung on every word he said and sang. Incredible!
Other great songs on this CD include "Dear Yoko," an upbeat love ballad to Yoko Ono; "Well Well Well," "Watching The Wheels," and "Working Class Hero." Indeed, it's impossible to find a song on this CD that isn't great! John's unique ability to perform brought a special type of life and meaning into each and every song and this CD is the proof of this. The listener can sense the remarkable paradox: by avoiding anything fancy in the way of embellishments and presenting his work on this CD in a comparatively plain fashion (just him singing as he plays guitar), John actually succeeded yet again in making his music all the more powerful, compelling and appealing to multitudes of people globally. (Yoko does join John for just one song, "The Luck Of The Irish.")
The quality of the sound is excellent; although Yoko (who produced this album) dedicates this album "to the future guitarists" there is very little in the way of actual liner notes. On the other hand, there are complete lyrics and the actual chords he played on the guitar all the way through each song are written here-a rare and wonderful plus! Chord diagrams are even included. There are wonderful photos of John in both black and white as well as color. Some of John's artwork is reprinted along with a picture of a guitar that Yoko designed for John as a present.
Obviously this CD is a must have for any Lennon fan; and almost certainly the same is true for any Beatles fan. I highly recommend this CD; it's worth much more than the five stars Amazon allows me to give it. Buy it, treasure it, and play it over and over again-John lives on through his music.

John Lennon was celebrated for the ornate and avant-garde adornments he brought to the Beatles, but he also at times responded to a powerful impulse to strip his music to its raw essence. Indeed, Lennon would have flourished in the unplugged era, when the nakedness of his best lyrics and the cutting directness of his astonishing voice would have been in the fore. Since John never got around to doing an acoustic collection, the task has fallen to Yoko Ono, who's pulled together 16 skeletal Lennon tracks, including seven previously unreleased selections. Of particular note are riveting newly surfaced Plastic Ono Band demos of "Well Well Well," "God," and "My Mummy's Dead," and a harsher-than-the-electric version of "Cold Turkey." Three early '70s live recordings and a smattering of later demos flesh out the collection. The booklet includes lyrics, tablature, and chord diagrams, though the liner notes are unfortunately skimpy. --Steven Stolder
