Celebrating what would have been John Lennon’s 66th birthday tomorrow, here are some performers that take some of his music and present it in their own style. (Correction: in the audio of this show, I say that it would have been Lennon’s 56th birthday. This is why I need an intern.) Here’s what’s on the show tonight:
Title (with link to iTunes, if available) | Artist | Album (with link to Amazon.com, if available) | Original Artist |
Imagine | Susan Cadogan | Mellow Dubmarine: Tribute to the Beatles | John Lennon |
Love | Dream Academy | A Different Kind of Weather | John Lennon |
Mind Games | Hal | Q: Lennon Covered | John Lennon |
I’m Losing You | Murray Head (eMusic) | Passion | John Lennon |
Instant Karma! | Toad The Wet Sprocket | Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon | John Lennon |
Jealous Guy | Roxy Music | Roxy Music – Street Life: 20 Greatest Hits | John Lennon |
How Do You Sleep? | Icehouse | The Berlin Tapes | John Lennon |
Imagine | Eva Cassidy | Imagine | John Lennon |
Darn… I had two great covers of Imagine somewhere in my CD case which I completely forgot about. One was by David Bowie, the other by Madonna. Oh well.
Brian,
I don’t think tomorrow would have been John’s 56th birthday, as he was born in 1940.
I’m a first time listener, and what a great show to start with!
I’ve always loved the Dream Academy’s version of “Love” and Roxy’s version of “Jealous Guy,” so thanks for playing them!

Hi Brian;
yes, I’m a little behind (10 days…) in listening, but I’m still working up, what I missed when on vacation apart from any online-connection… 😉 (THAT’s what I call holiday ;-))
You mentioned you understood “I’m losing a shoe” on Murray Head’s version of “I’m losing you”…
I hope you know the “Kiss this guy” website – if not, check it out…
Kiss this guy
