I find that the older I get the better George's songs become.

Share this with a friend who's got the blues:

Watch out now
Take care, beware the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for

One of those songs that I recognize in the first couple of notes, and invariably think, "yeah!"

Love the demo of this where he sings "Beware of Abkco" his little swipe at Allen Klein.

How true!  I love the Lennon/McCartney stuff, but when it comes down to individual Beatles, George Harrison is my favorite.  He hung back and yielded to the power-duo of Lennon/McCartney, and then he just went quietly into the studio and cut tracks his way.  I love listening to his music. He was the deadly-good punch that no one expected.

 
Miss you so much, Ann...

rest in peace...

Profound, beautiful and heartbreaking all in one song. It doesn't get much better than this. Check out 'Concert For George'...Eric Clapton's cover of this tune is brilliant and poignant.

All Things is easily the best of all the Beatles' post-band albums, and one of the great albums, period. I was and am bought low by Harrison's way-too-early passing—but by smoking, he took his life in his own hands—and that there will be no more original output from him. Still, like the band itself, virtually all his Beatles work and his post-fab output is timeless.  I'll go blast Wah Wah now.

Pretty sure that the re-release double cd that was remastered a few years back has both versions, maybe even three.  It was in my player for several months a couple years ago, but I've since given it some time to cool off. 

There's a truly haunting, stripped down acoustic version of this track that is very emotional.  Sounds like he's sitting next to you in an empty room, just the two of you...spiritual.

 
Yes, Track 11 of ATMP, Disc 1 has a great acoustic version (along with "Let It Down" and others). This is Track 1, Disc 2.

Anyone ever check out his last (I guess it might have been posthumous) album?  It's got some really great, classic, tunes on it.  Always surprised by how good it is.

This is indeed a brilliant and classic album from a gifted and talented man who was taken from us far too soon.

But remember this - You hang out and get to play with two of the greatest songwriters in history every day for about ten years.  They agree to put one or maybe two of your songs on each of the band's albums over the years.  

Then when you break up there is a good chance you may have a dozen or so gems ready to put on your first effort.
