George Harrison had great talent and some of it survived the Beatles. But the great songs are with the Beatles...all those years ago. Very few songs can match While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Within You Without You, Here Comes the Sun, Taxman, Blue Jay Way, and Something. But this is his best stuff post-Beatles and definitely belongs in any intelligent listener's collection.

Although the Beatlea disbanded in 1970, the four individual members continued to produce some very remarkable music. "Let It Roll" brings together several of George Harrison's finest recordings onto one CD. Now, you can once again relive the memories of such classics as "Any Road", "Cheer Down". "Blow Away", "What Is Life", "When We Was Fab", "All Those Years Ago" and "My Sweet Lord", among others. This CD makes the perfect companion to Paul McCartney's "All The Best", John Lennon's "Lennon Legend" and Ringo Starr's "Photograph". What a great way to relive the legacy of the solo Beatles.
This collection of Harrison tunes represents a good sampling from various points in his long musical career. However, it may not contain the particular favorites from every Harrison fan, so one would want to hold on to other recordings one may have. It is by no means exhaustive, but nevertheless, it is a very good (and good sounding) collection. It contains songs that I've heard many times in my life, and also some that are utterly new to me. The only thing is that the album starts with "Got My Mind Set on You," which I would have placed in a position more accurately reflecting its chronology, but this is a minor quibble. The main thing is, if you like George Harrison, you will probably like this album also.
Fairly good selection of his greatest hits, they could have easily made this a 2 CD set. I met him at an old haunt around 1974, a place called "John's at the Beach" in Ventura, Ca.. A friend and I were there having a beer, we turned around and to our surprise there he was!! I ordered a picture to his table and he motioned for us to join him!! We obviously told him of our admiration and he was almost embarrassed....really. After another picture of beer was finished he pardoned himself and said he had to get back to a friends house in Ojai, about 20 minutes away. I said I would be honored to drive him, but of course, as we made our way to the street, there was a limo waiting. One of the coolest guys I have ever met, and was always my favorite Beatle. To have had a smartphone back then !!!!!!!! RIP George.Read full review

As a Beatles can, there is nothing that any of these guys can do that wouldn't be great. This is a compilation of some great music. I had almost forgotten how many songs George had released after the breakup of The Beatles. Overall a great cd and a fine value.
