"John Lennon's Unexpected Collaboration: Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen on Double Fantasy"

Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen was invited by producer Jack Douglas to join John Lennon and Yoko Ono during the recording sessions for their album Double Fantasy. Nielsen ended up playing on Lennon's "I'm Losing You" and Ono's "I'm Moving On," adding a gritty sound to the otherwise polished tracks. Lennon expressed regret that he hadn't had Nielsen play on his song "Cold Turkey," and also revealed that he would have been interested in producing Cheap Trick's debut album. The connections between Cheap Trick and The Beatles continue, with George Martin producing one of their albums and the band releasing a cover of Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth."
