John Lennon was born 79 years ago today. Look back at 20 of his underappreciated solo songs
Lennon followed the opening peace anthem on his second album with this grenade wrapped in rockabilly rhythm and prairie-saloon piano, with a slinky country-boy solo on dobro by George Harrison. The chorus – “One thing you can’t hide/Is when you’re crippled inside” – may have been a slap at ex-bandmate Paul McCartney . But when Lennon wrote in the second person, he often did it staring into a mirror., with an ironed-out beat and hearty blasts of tenor saxophone by King Curtis.
A delightful break from the protest rhymes and billboard-pop writing on this album, “New York City” combines the sunny-boogie autobiography of the ’68 Beatles single “The Ballad of John and Yoko” with Lennon’s enthusiasm for his adopted hometown.
