 George Harrison - let it roll May 8, 2009

Well the track listing has been released (May 7th 2009) and whilst I am still looking forward to a long overdue release I have to say I am disappointed at the lack of imagination in the song selection. One wonders which "focus group" came up with this all too predictable collection.
It seems there is no place for "Your love is forever" from the 1978 "George Harrison" album; a solo Beatle classic and a fantastic demonstration of George's open D tuning and vastly underrated, slide guitar technique.
In addition there is no room for "Life Itself," "Run of the mill" "Tired of midnight blue" "Cockamamie Business," the Philly inspired "Woman don't you cry for me" "Unknown delight" "Awaiting on you all" "Beware of darkness," "Stuck inside a cloud" and many many more. This might have been an excellent opportunity to release one or two tracks that have been lying in the vaults - "Lay his head" is the one that immediately springs to mind.
One can only hope that Olivia Harrison, who hitherto has managed George's not inconsiderable legacy with a dignity and a grace which has been truly inspiring, will persuade the powers that be to re-visit this project and add another disc which will do justice to a talent that for so long has been overlooked.
All of the above being said I will still order a copy - from Amazon of course

Let It Roll: Songs of George Harrison
I really loved this CD. George has always been a favourite and if you like the music that he wrote and sung, you will enjoy this. He was very talented (in his own right) and did not always get the recognition that he deserved.
Frustrations! June 14, 2009

After waiting and waiting for this release I should have known I'd never fully agree with the track listing..
Thankfully, in this modern era of itunes, playlists aren't exactly complicated to create so lets not gripe on about it forever... My frustration is though, that if this is a starting point for some to discover George' solo work, then frankly you're missing too many great tunes here..
If you buy this, you also need (IMO!!).. Not Guilty, Run of the Mill, I live for You, Beautiful Girl, If Not for You, It's What you Value, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, Soft-Hearted Hana, Looking for My Life, Crackerbox Palace, This Song, Looking For My Life, P2 Vatican Blues, Behind that Locked Door.. to name a few..
How this isn't a 2/3 disc release baffles me.. after all, All Things Must Pass is 2 discs on its own!
Like everything you hope for SO much it seems, once finally released, this frustrates.
GEORGE DESERVES A BOX SET! (Yes I know there's one with the entire albums, I'm on about a best of compilation though! with DVD extras.. the Dick Cavett show and Bangladesh for example..)
If new to Harrison - good stuff! For others...meh... May 26, 2009

Fair enough, for those expecting a comprehensive 'best of' this is a bit of a let down because it's the same old, same old - very good 'same old' mind, but there you go!
I think this is a great place to start if you're new to George Harrison. There's loads of great songs here and it gives you a real taster to go explore his other albums. Many of them are superb.
If you like this, snap up the 'All Things Must Pass' album and 'Brainwashed'. They top and tail his career and are both excellent.

First off, which no one seems to be saying is that the sound quality here is top notch with songs like "cheer down" and "got my mind set on you" sounding blisteringly great; but what's the latter doing on a collection called "songs of George Harrison" anyway? He didn't write it.
I think one live version would have sufficed, or how about the stunning "Old brown shoe" from his "Live in Japan" cd? My big quibble though is the omission of some of Harrison's best single releases, especially "Bangla Desh" and its great b side "Deep Blue"
Have to agree with others - should have been a double with the addition of the following :
Bangla Desh (single)
Deep Blue (single B side)
Cloud Nine (single)
This Guitar (single)
You (single)
Pisces Fish (from "Brainwashed")
Life Itself
Crackerjack Palace (single)
Love comes to everyone
Here comes the moon
I don't care anymore (rare B side)
Dark Horse (single)
Faster (single)
Teardrops (single)
Wake up my love (single)
Miss O'Dell (single B side)
mind you, it was great to hear the Bob Dylan song from one of the Porkys movies!
