First of all this is a good album-maybe not great-but good. Released in 1974 to coincide with his Dark Horse Tour that same year. The musicians on this album include Billy Preston,Tom Scott,Alvin Lee, Ron Wood,Nicky Hopkins,Gary Wright,Ringo Starr,Robben Ford,and the one and only Willie Weeks. And no Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd are not on this album. And if you still have the old gatefold album of this-that is Peter Sellers promenadding through the park-Friar-with George. The album-excuse me-cd contains a great instrumental-Hari's on tour-express and and one of Harrison's greatest songs-Dark Horse. Also notworthy is So Sad and Far East Man.
I had not heard this since I listened to the album I have but that was probably 20 years ago. The album was not reviewed well when it was released, mostly because Harrison was having throat problems because of getting ready for a tour while recording the album. I like the different quality in his voice, not something I would want permanently but for one album is okay. My favorites are Simply Shady and the title track.
George Harrison embarks on a new direction with a new label. From out of the shadows into the light George Harrison uses his voice, his guitar and his spiritual sense to fashion, create and present a new and engaging music!

Great tracks. Two of the tracks, which includes Dark Horse, was sang while George was hoarse. It's an interesting choice. Great songs to listen to.

My daughter wanted a George Harrison CD for Chrismas and I'm not too familiar with his music, but I do remember hearing this titles when I was younger and seeing it in stores. The cd is actually great. We sat and listened to it together and it has a very calming effect. The tracks are clear and it is a great product. It arrived quckly and I would recommend this cd to people who are not even Beatles fans as the music is quite different from their musical style.
