Beatles ’91 pt4

What this episode covers

It’s the dog days of summer in 1991, and while the seemingly non-stop touring schedule of the former Beatles has found a temporary reprieve, new music still abounds - this time in the new LP Help Yourself by Julian Lennon. Featuring inspiration from George Harrison (marking the first direct assistance from one of the surviving Threetles on a Julian Lennon record) and a fresh perspective, Julain’s new LP stood an artistic line in the sand from the progeny that once ruled the teen idol set. Compelling ballads and introspective singer-songwriter fare - such as the poignant Saltwater - were the new currency for Lennon, and the public reaction was mixed. Would this be a fork in the road for future music from Julian? Time, and the rest of the 90s would tell, and as a famous drummer once said: ”Time Takes Time.”
