Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Organized by Amnesty International after receiving the rights to John Lennon's songs from Yoko Ono, 2007's INSTANT KARMA collection benefits the organization's campaign to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, while also serving as a tribute to the late Beatle. Presenting an impressively eclectic array of artists that ranges from Christina Aguilera to Big & Rich to the Postal Service, the compilation is a truly varied affair. Not surprisingly, however, many of the finest tracks come from pop/rock acts directly inspired by Lennon, including R.E.M., reuniting with original drummer Bill Berry for a beautifully drowsy version of "#9 Dream," and Ben Harper, who contributes a delicate take on "Beautiful Boy." Providing the most direct link to Lennon's legacy, though, are Jakob Dylan (son of Bob) and Dhani Harrison (son of George), who offer up a lively rendition of "Gimme Some Truth" that reminds listeners of the legendary performer's socially conscious spirit.

Producer: Will.i.am; Lonely Boys; Prince 'N Dour; Lenny Kravitz; Jackson Browne; David Barbe; Tony Berg; Adam Shoenfeld; Butch Walker; Jack Johnson; Marti Frederiksen; Ben Harper; Linda Perry; Robert Carranza; Tal Herzberg; R.E.M.; Green Day

Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.71)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jackson Browne's tender want in 'Oh My Love' is the high point: one great songwriter deep inside the power and yearning of another."

Entertainment Weekly (p.76)
- "[Lavigne] brings surprising tenderness to 'Imagine'....Green Day also get the churlish spirit of 'Working Class Hero' right..." -- Grade: B

Entertainment Weekly 7 of 10
Lavigne brings surprising tenderness to 'Imagine'....Green Day also get the churlish spirit of 'Working Class Hero' right...Grade B
 
Rolling Stone 6 of 10
U2 and R.E.M. respectively energize "Instant Karma" and "#9 Dream" like true fans, and Corinne Bailey Rae's lonesome-gospel fire in "I'm Losing You" locates the R&B heart in Lennon's best writing. Jackson Browne's tender want in "Oh My Love" is the high point: one great songwriter deep inside the power and yearning of another - David Fricke

5 of 5 IMAGINE if everyone bought this!!! Wednesday, June 27, 2007
TheFogKing from Cary, NC  

This is a MUST BUY for everyone! If you're young, you'll be introduced to an artist who will always be remembered, and a portfolio of work that is timeless and treasured. If you're a geezer (like me), you'll be exposed to new artists who you've never heard before, but who deserve a serious listen and support. I've already purchased the CD's of two new artists who participated in this release! It's truly a prized collection of In-Fog-King-credible music by incredible talent!!
