Acoustic
Harry Brewer | S'port, La. | 02/29/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Not sure what I was expecting when I bought this but, whatever it was, I didn't find it here. Too much of what is here are merely snippets of songs. Looking at the time length of some of the tracks I knew that would be a reality. One review that I read highly recommended hearing the raw power of the acoustic version of "Cold Turkey". Unfortunately, I heard no power nor starkness in this version. I found it to be weak & Lennon's warbling voice quickly got on my nerves. And this was the song I was most looking forward to hear.



The version of "Working Class Hero" presented here is different than the original but reveals nothing new. "Love" is different than the original being based on an acoustic guitar rather than a piano; being a guitarist myself I can appreciate this. It's the way I've almost always performed it myself. "Imagine" is also presented as an acoustic guitar piece, once again, it does present a pleasant difference, the basic beauty of the song shines through elegantly.



There are a few other songs performed live here as "Imagine" was done but there aren't any major revelations involved on this CD. It's basically somebody, & because I don't know who exactly so I won't mention any names or companies, ripping us off a few dollars all in the name of John Lennon. And let's be honest, John Lennon was apparently one of the most straightforward & honest people in the business. Be he saint or sinner I don't think he would've approved of this sham being released while he was alive."
