To my mind this is the best work George Harrison ever put his name to. It was created just at the time when he was finding his individual voice within The Beatles, largely, but not solely, through his discovery of Indian music. Yes, there is a fair bit of that on this album, and it's questionable to what degree these tracks are his compositions, or existing material that he tweaked to make his own, or just bits that came out of improvisation. But no matter, they all weave their individual charm. But there's other music here too, riff-based rock instrumental, honky-tonk pastiche, cowboy instrumental. This was a commissioned soundtrack and, in truth, it is better than the film (very late-60s, meandering psychedelia). But it stands on its own merits, creating real magic if you're prepared to listen with all ears (yes, including the third one).Read full review
What made The Beatles so great? They had George Harrison, The "X" factor!! George was a big talent and one which every other band wished they had! On this Beatles-era album George showcases his many talents. If you are not a fan of Indian music thats ok! (although it's amazing that Mr Harrison wrote,produced & composed it all!) As for the remaining instrumentals, all I can say they are wacky,weird & wonderful! The songs range from silent film era stuff, to cowboy twang to orchestral magic! A quirky slice of Bacharach!!
very fresh and unique style of george harrison guitar sound..far from different during beatles days...
