Album Notes & Community Reviews
Working alongside an incredible roster of musicians including John Lennon and Eric Clapton, Yoko Ono pushed her boundary-shattering avant-garde vision into remarkably eclectic rock territory. 'Fly' is wonderfully surreal and fiercely chaotic, balancing intensely manic, deeply raw vocal improvisations with remarkably playful, surprisingly groovy experimental blues-rock textures.
