STORY: GEORGE HARRISON - ALL THINGS MUST PASS
LOCATION:UK
DATE: RECENT
Former Beatle GEORGE HARRISON has re-issued his classic solo album 'All Things Must Pass'. Originally released in 1970 just after the break up of the Fab Four, 'All Things Must Pass' reached number one in the album chart, and featured the first solo Beatle number one single, 'My Sweet Lord'.
The re-issue features outtakes and unreleased songs from the original recording sessions, as well as a newly recorded version of "My Sweet Lord," featuring Harrison's son Dhani on guitar.
Upon its first release, 'All Things Must Pass' was hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as "...an intensely personal statement and a grandiose gesture, a triumph...an album of striking honesty and force..". After spending so long in the shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 'All Things Must Pass' revealed that the "serious" Beatle was not just a superb musician but also a hugely talented songwriter.
Harrison recorded the album while the Beatles were in the midst of a bitter and acrimonious split, and he has spoken of his relief to be able to express himself individually. Songs like 'Isn't It A Pity' and 'Hear Me Lord' show a writer enjoying true creative freedom for the first time and exploring his growing devotion to Krishna.
Fans of the album have long argued that, track for track, it is as good as if not better than any Beatles album.
The record features an army of guest musicians, including Eric Clapton, Gary Wright, Ringo Starr, Peter Frampton, Phil Collins, and Billy Preston. Another contributor was Bob Dylan, who co-wrote 'If Not For You'. The album was produced by unhinged genius Phil Spector.
Harrison is an intensely personal man who has lived most of his post mop-top days away from the glare of the media spotlight. But his quiet life was violently disrupted in December 1999 after he was attacked by a knife-wielding man in his home. Paranoid schizophrenic Michael Abram was cleared of attempted murder but will remain indefinitely in a secure psychiatric institution.
