Here is what people are saying about the John Lennon - Rock 'n' Roll
 "Dated Enjoyment" | 2008-10-29 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3EPAN1QVVAWM7 |
| I have this album on tape from years back and love it. Now on CD it's so much easier to play but the quality doesn't appear to have been enhanced but does not spoil it for me. It sounds as if he is playing from the back of the building on the cover, as an amateur, which for me makes it more exciting!Some great covers of old songs and I prefer his versions. |

 "One of the most under-appreciate albums. Ever." | 2008-10-13 |

Yes, it's a cover album, but it's unlike any cover album you've ever heard. Lennon pulls out many of the old classic tunes from his early days and absolutely tears 'em up. Many of them are even better than the originals. I honestly can't imagine anyone putting a better spin on "You Can't Catch Me." The song is raw and powerful in Lennon's hands. His version of "Be-Bop-A-Lula" is more upbeat and driving than Gene Vincent's and "Slippin' and Slidin'" rocks in ways even Little Richard (whom I love dearly) couldn't imagine.
One thing I could never find for this album, however, are the credits for Lennon's backing band; they are uniformly excellent. The sax playing, in particular, is great.
I honestly don't know anyone who has ever bought this album that has regretted it. It captures the essence of rock n' roll music. It's rollicking fun and absolutely timeless. John Lennon (perhaps the greatest rocker ever) doing what he does - and loves - best. How can you go wrong? |

 "A Feel Good Album" | 2006-06-04 |

| I enjoyed Lennon's homage to early rock and roll gems and this still remains one of my favorite feel good albums. I nearly wore out my vinyl copy of it because I discovered it also made a terrific aerobics/workout collection of music. |

| "Great Oldies Collection" | 2004-09-24 |
| - Reviewed By gwfeds0 |
| This is a collection of songs from the 1950's. These are some of John Lennon's favorite songs from when he was a kid, and he does some outstanding covers of these songs. This is one of my all-time favorite cd's and has been for about 25 years now. That's the nice thing about classic songs like these; they never seem to get old. |

| "Lennon hits gold" | 2004-09-06 |
| - Reviewed By cartman546 |
| John Lennon spent the last ten years of his life as a very cynical man. He was always one to be wry and sardonic, but from 1970-1980, his songs were written with personal and political sentiments, some even lashing out at those closest to him(i.e. "How do you sleep at night"). After 1972, everyone was tired of hearing his rants, and had all but lost interest in the voice that inspired a generation of children to pursue music as a future. What Lennon does here on Rock 'N' Roll is re-visit his musical roots and once again show the world that he is one of the best raw vocalists that rock and roll will ever offer. Be-Bop-A-Lula is glided through with awe-inspiring fluidity in such a manner that Gene Vincent himself would've cried had he been alive to hear it. The rest of this album follows suit. My personal favorites are Be-Bop-A-Lula, Stand by Me, Peggy Sue, Bring it on Home, and both of the Larry Williams covers on side-B (of the record, tracks 11 and 13 on the CD). Whenever Lennon would cover Larry Williams, whether it was in the Beatles (i.e. Slow Down, Bad Boy, Dizzy Miss Lizzy...etc.) he would always shine with his trademark raspy voice. What Phil Spector produced here is one of the finest post-Beatles albums ever. McCartney had "Ram," Harrison had "All Things Must Pass," and John Lennon had "Rock 'n' Roll." God bless you John! |
