"Crippled Inside" is a song by British rock musician John Lennon from his 1971 album Imagine.
Background
[edit | edit source]Lennon recorded "Crippled Inside" on 26 May 1971 at Ascot Sound Studios, during the sessions for his Imagine album.[1] Robert Christgau believed its "good-time ricky-tick" rhythm lent the song a "folk-rock in disguise" identity.[2]
The melody of the song's bridge is very similar to the 1964 Koerner, Ray & Glover rendition of the traditional song "Black Dog".[3]
Covers
[edit | edit source]The jam band Widespread Panic covered the song a number of times during their Summer 2007 Tour, with the band contributing a version to the benefit album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur.[citation needed]
