  Acoustic (John Lennon album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acoustic is a compilation album of John Lennon demos, studio and live performances that feature his acoustic guitar work and was released in 2004.
Nine of its sixteen recordings were previously released in 1998 on the John Lennon Anthology box set - a decision that was criticised by critics and fans - while the remaining inclusions had been bootlegged for years.
Although it failed to chart in the UK, Acoustic reached #31 in the US, becoming John Lennon's best charting US release since 1988's Imagine: John Lennon soundtrack album.

 John Lennon - Anthology | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ...
John Lennon needs no introduction - we all know who he is, what group he was in, and how his life was prematurely ended at the dawn of the '80s, arguably the decade that would have benefitted the most from his genius.
Lennon and Ono were separated for several months in 1974-75 as Lennon took an abrupt turn to record covers of '50s songs for his "Rock and Roll" album.
The most rewarding part of this anthology coincides with what Lennon thought to be the most important part of his own life - the last years, in which he began to see his son grow up.

 John Lennon
John Lennon may or may not have been the best of the Beatles, but he certainly was the most unpredictable.
Instead, John is on the songwriting trail again, and being extremely sick and pissed off at everybody and everyone in the wake of the Beatles crumpling into dust, he blazes off this mighty bunch of angry, ferocious, and utterly simplistic tunes.
John didn't play everything himself: Klaus Voormann is present on base and Ringo on drums, which makes some of the tracks rock as hard as possible (in fact, sometimes Ringo bashes around just as wildly as, say, John Bonham, a thing unheard of in his Beatle days).

 John Lennon - Walls And Bridges
In this song Lennon looks wistfully back at their relationship, which though at the time it "seemed so very real," has now passed into nostalgia as an elusive, magical dream.
There has never been any question concerning the magnitude of John Lennon's talent, and here he serves up what may well be his most versatile and musically excellent album yet.
Lennon offers his usual dose of good, healthy basic rock, a format he has always been master of and which is lacking in so many other LPs today.

John would never have been who he was without The Beatles, and if he passed through the madness of Beatlemania emotionally scarred, then his declaration of independence, "I just believe in me," is a clarion call to self-awareness as he broke that bell jar.
Lennon recorded the songs he himself loved listening to before he was one of the four "mop tops".
John Lennon was the most important poet in English in the second half of the twentieth century (including Bob Dylan, Mick Jaggar, Dylan Thomas, Bukowski, Seamus Heany, whoever), hands down.

The enduring legacy of John Lennon's best album has overshadowed a glaring historical irony: the Beatles' original architect was also responsible for some of the Fab Four's most erratic solo albums.
This digitally remixed/remastered redux of the album may invoke the ire of the historically retentive, but it was accomplished under the aegis of Yoko Ono with an ear for clarity and a little more of John Lennon's complex, but always gratifying, soul.
Lennon was writing structured songs and producing something cohesive, a sign that he would not forever be a rugged, tripped-out specter.

John Lennon's 1970 official solo debut is as remarkable forits startling contrast to the Beatles as it is for the passion and force of its songwriting.
Instead, this is an album of intensely confessional songs that lay bare the personal demons Lennon was trying to exorcise at the time--the ghosts of fame, family, faith, and individual identity, amongthem.
Lennon was undergoingprimal scream therapy during these sessions and the resultscan be heard, overtly (the strained vocals of "Well, Well, Well"), and in the rage and anguish of his harrowingly honest songwriting.

Besides being a collection of rare acoustic demos of John Lennon songs, Acoustic is a tribute to the guitar itself, and the passion with which John played it.
Acoustic features rarely heard stripped-down versions of many of John's best songs, including "Working Class Hero", "Woman is the Nigger of the World", "Watching the Wheels" and "Imagine".
The live acoustic guitar version of Lennon's signature, "Imagine", is sweet and poignant as ever.

 Shaved Fish - John Lennon Album Review
This greatest hits album came out in 1975 and covers only some of John Lennon's best solo material while excluding all of his work with the Beatles.
The only real disappointment found on this LP is the song chosen to kick-off the album, "Give Peace A Chance", which was recorded live in a hotel room with many of Lennon's friends.
Overall, some of Lennon's best songs are found on here (as should be the case with all greatest hits albums) including the world's greatest ever peace song "Imagine".

 John Lennon - Walls and Bridges Album Review
John Lennon solo album (not counting the non music ones), still, it's not that bad.
Recorded during Lennon's "lost weekend", while he was separated from Yoko Ono, he seems to lose a bit of his inspiration with her gone, even thought one or two of the songs are about her.
The one thing about this entire album is that Lennon's voice sounds great, as usual, and why some of the poorer songs rate as high as they do.

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.
Lennon was often at his best when his music was stripped down to the bare essentials.
This album is a collection of demos and live songs that are meant to expose Lennon's songs completely and to give an insight to the core of his songs.

 John Lennon: The Roots of Rock 'N' Roll
John petitioned the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to obtain a "green card," which would enable him to enter and leave the country as he pleased, but all of his requests were denied.
John's unrelenting desire to live in America coupled with Yoko's wish to locate Kyoko, a daughter by a previous marriage who had disappeared with her father, Anthony Cox, all took its toll on their personal life.
John's friends thought the album might sound negative, since the songs dealt with his L.A. "lost weekend," but the record turned out to be refreshing and alive and marked the return of some of the magic that surrounded John when he was a Beatle.

 John Lennon - Acoustic (Album Review)
In particular, it’s John Lennon’s voice that rises above the primitive, stripped-down arrangements, conveying both his spirit and his genius in the process.
Granted, the sound quality of Acoustic is occasionally ramshackle and suspect, and not surprisingly, the various renditions are vastly inferior to their finished counterparts.
Still, stripping away the polish and perfection places Lennon’s compositions within an entirely different context; that is: it exposes them to be not the work of a godlike former Beatle, but of a singer, a songwriter, and a fallible human being.

 John Lennon: Acoustic
Lost classics aside, an acoustic album usually burns with an equally nostalgic and personal touch, redefining songs that might otherwise sound over-produced.
Acoustic mixes classics from Lennon's post Beatles catalog (Cold Turkey, Imagine, Watching The Wheels, Working Class Hero, Love) and seven tracks being released for the first time.
Acoustic boasts some bright spots - including a classic album cover of Lennon strumming his guitar, and linear notes with lyrics and chords, but the album itself never lives up to its great author's legacy.
