Hmmm....drab??? The other evening I caught about half of VH1's piece on Warren Zevon. I watched because I was a big fan back in the 70s, but didn't really keep up after that. I was uncomfortable as I watched: seemed like Warren was mostly focused on his celebrity. Anyway, I'm listening to George this a.m., and it struck me that I find this much more moving than Warren's last stuff. Of course, if I was slapping something into the cd player, it would more likely be Excitable Boy! |

The "quiet Beatle" indeed.
AC, I agree. He's going deeper here.

Great lyrics and sound. I love the album and think Lynn exercised great restraint. There's only one track that may be a tad overproduced, but the overall sound is very nice. A great last album that makes one sad that like John, he left us too soon.

not bad, but for his fish songs...i really like "fish in the sand" off "cloud nine" a lot more. it is a much happier song.

I think the comment was, the album was more produced than George would have liked it to have been.

I had heard somewhere that Jeff Lynne thought that he (Lynne) had overproduced this album.

Should have known that I'd hear this first here.
Was struck by the quiet intellegince and deep but understated spirituality of the lyrics, before I knew who I was listening to. As a fellow "traveler to the East", one who was into my pre-Buddhist,Indian guru devotion period back in the days of "My Sweet Lord", I've always been especially fond of George.
I found this quite beautiful and inspiring as evidence of the way his beliefs remained central to his life and art as he faced death, transcending any temptation to see "George by the Ganges" as a mere photo-op illustrating
quaint Sixties cultural trends.

Why did the Beatles have to break up? 
And why didn't GH retire after that?
