John Lennon
Walls And Bridges
'Walls and Bridges' 1974 captures the essence of John Lennon better than any of his solo efforts with the exception of 'Imagine' The harshness of 'Plastic Ono Band' still can be found in memorable tracks such as 'Steel and Glass' and 'Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out' two of Lennon's most underrated songs The CD also features the hit singles 'Whatever Gets You Through the Night' and '9 Dream' which showcase Lennon's mastery of popularmusic composition Other surprises include John's collaboration with Harry Nilsson 'Old Dirt Road' and a funky instrumental titled 'Beef Jerky' For years music critics have considered 'Walls and Bridges' a watertreading work from an artist in decline Nothing could be further from the truth Unlike 'Mind Games' and 'Double Fantasy' this integral Lennon recording has stood the test of time
