In the five years following the break-up of the Beatles, John Lennon established himself as a critically and commercially successful solo artist in addition to dealing with a number of private and public tribulations. Lennon eventually released ROCK `N` ROLL, a batch of covers ranging the gamut of early rock classics from the `50s and `60s. Lennon threw himself lovingly into this project that hearkened back to the simpler times of being a teenager smitten with the sounds of Chuck Berry and Little Richard (both of whom are represented on this record), light years away from any kind of political statements.
Dr. Winston O`Boogie was in full effect whether applying a slight reggae beat to "Stand By Me" and "Do You Want To Dance" or using a pounding piano and honking saxophone to fine effect on "Ain`t That A Shame." Unbridled joy can be heard in Lennon`s swinging reading of "Slippin` And Slidin`" and within the yelps punctuating Larry Williams` silly "Bony Moronie."
