Review
"Urish and Beilen, who has taught courses in popular music at Bowling Green State U., examine the solo work of John Lennon from 1968 to 1980, as well as posthumous releases up to 1988. They focus on his music, lyrics, and recordings, with a brief introductory chapter on biography, biographical context integrated into the chapters on music. Subsequent chapters are arranged chronologically and consider each album and notable songs from them. Significant recordings and compositions that were uncompleted are included, as well as collaborations with Yoko Ono and others. A discography is provided, and the bibliography is annotated. The analysis is meant for both academic and mainstream audiences."

Reference & Research Book News
"The Words and Music of John Lennon shows how this remarkable man was able to transform the intensely personal into the deeply universal (and vice versa), often with humour and pointed insight."
-
Library Media Connection
"It's an informative, highly enjoyable wealth of information about the thought and background of the music, album-by-album and single-by-single. Though not an intentional biography, nevertheless through Lennon's music this book perhaps documents the biography Lennon wanted us to hear, and certainly details the legacy he left behind."

Record Collector Magazine
"The Beatles have been the focus of numerous scholarly researchers--among them Ger Tillekens, K. G. Johansson, Wilfrid Mellers, Russell Reising, and Allan Moore--not to mention an academic conference held in Finland in 2000. But little has been written about the music of the group's individual members, particularly following the band's 1970 breakup. Urish and Bielen's treatment, which fills this void, looks not only at the music Lennon wrote after the group's demise but also at his solo work while the Beatles were still together and at posthumous releases of his material. The authors reveal details about the lyrical content, recordings, and performance practice of Lennon's songs, and they identify musicians involved in recording sessions of Lennon's music. They also offer insight onto Lennon's personal life, providing contextual information about how the songs reflected his ideas on life and relationships…. This accessible book will be useful to those interested in music, mass media, and popular culture. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above."

Review
"The Words and Music of John Lennon is a comprehensive and incisive examination of Lennon's world and music. It is subtle and nuanced in its interpretation, and everyone interested in Lennon's music and general creativity will want to read Urish and Bielen's account of one of the major musical voices of our time."
