Acoustic

Bruce Beatlefan (April 24, 2006)

Listening to this album just makes me sad, as I cannot avoid considering the warmth and quality of Paul McCartney\'s \"Unplugged\" album and wishing that John had had a chance to conduct a similar project. I am sure that we would have heard (for once) John delivering some of his Beatles material (he had always intended for \"Help\" to be a slower, more sensitive song), and I believe an acoustic rendering of his personal boyhood favorites would have far outstripped his too-bombastic \"Rock and Roll\" covers. Hence, it is regrettable that the best we can have is this rather-nice-but-unremarkable collection of demo tracks and acoustic live performances and homemade stuff.
