Vi nærmer os 31-års-dagen for nedskydningen af John Lennon – en musikalsk markering

18. november 2011

Vi nærmer os 31 års-dagen for nedskydningen af John Lennon. Og 30års-dagen blev markeret ved en hyldestkoncert på the Beacon Theatre NYC. Koncerten kan ny erhverves i digital form – og høres i sin fulde længde her.

Power To The People – Rich Pagano

And Your Bird Can Sing – The Kennedys

God – Meshell Ndegeocello

Help! – Alejandro Escovedo

Mother – Shelby Lynne

Working Class Hero – Martin Sexton

Hey Bulldog – Joan Osborne

Watching the Wheels – Taj Mahal and Vusi Mahlasela

In My Life – Keb’ Mo’

Come Together – Taj Mahal with Deva Mahal & Steph Browne

The Word – Bettye LaVette

Jealous Guy – Aimee Mann

You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away – Jackson Browne

Oh Yoko – Patti Smith and Tony Shanahan

Instant Karma – Playing For Change Band

Resultatet er som forventeligt en samling mere eller mindre loyale fortolkninger. Mine favoritter er Bettye LaVettes soludgave af The Word, Aimee Manns enkle udgave af Jalous Guy, Patti Smiths personlige "Oh Yoko", som dedikeres til Yoko Ono…
