I have an album recommendation.
Cloud Nine by George Harrison.

I've had this album for a year or so, but recently I taped it to listen to on the bus, and it's absolutely incredible. I never realized how deep, melodic and yet catchy it is. I can't come up with a good description for it; the closest I could think was imagining a Beatles album released in the 1980s, but it's more complex than that.

Definitely worth hunting down.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Oh my god... When I read the song title I knew I heard that somewhere... lol
That song is played on the radio from time to time...

Is there a chance you could upload that album?  ::)

There is a chance but it will be a while, I'm currently taping a bunch of vinyl in order to convert it to MP3s, but it's a long process. I should have it done within the next week at which point I'll upload the album, the quality won't be 100% CD but it tends to turn out fairly good.

This song was done with a few of what would become the Wilburys, right?




Harrison's first album was a classic since he had all those songs Lennon and McCartney wouldn't record. And even his last album was good. He was a true talent.

Not that I'm aware of, none of them are credited on the album. They may have though and not received recognition for it.

And I agree, his first album is very good. For a triple album it's got a surprisingly low filler count.

That's because it was like 10 years worth of songs he never got to release.


And I just read that Got My Mind Set On You it was produced by Jeff Lynne so it had atleast some pre-Wilbury essence and I think the Wilburys formed in part because of the Lynne-Harrison paing. I also didn't know that Got My Mind Set on You was a cover from a 60s song by Rudy Clark and sung by James Ray.

^ I'm not positive, but I believe Jeff Lynne has connections with the Beatles all the way back to the early 70's, possibly even the 60's.  By the time "Got My Mind Set On You" came out, he was deep in the Beatles story already.  He's even called the 5th Beatle. 

I think George Harrison's fame will continue to rise long after his death.  His work is pretty underrated, he was an excellent guitarist and a great songwriter.  Although you might not notice it at first, he has a very distinctive style of playing too which has been very influential, and he honestly doesn't have that big of a body or work... so it's pretty impressive that he accomplished so much with so little songs attributed to him.

If you haven't checked out much of the Beatles Solo stuff, you must be insane.  The story didn't stop in 1970, all 4 Beatles released significant music all through the 70's, and Paul released good music until the present day. 

Ringo Starr - Photograph (w/George Harrison)
Ringo Starr - I'm The Greatest (written by John Lennon)
Ringo Starr - Back off Boogaloo (it's great, lol)
Paul McCartney - Anything on Flaming Pie, Band on the Run, Back To the Egg, McCartney, McCartney II, Ram, Chaos and Creation, etc. he honestly has 50-75 quality solo songs
John Lennon - basically John's entire solo catalog is pretty good.  He made an album called Rock & Roll music that has a few throwaway covers on it, and he made a couple avante garde albums with Yoko early on (two lovers, etc.) that are useless, but all the stuff like Plastic Ono Band, and Imagine, Double Fantasy, etc. are just great, great albums.

George released a lot of quality stuff too

George Harrison - If Not For You (written by Bob Dylan)
George Harrison - Wah-Wah (a wah-wah's a headache, but he plays the whole song with a wah pedal)
George Harrison - I Got My Mind Set On You
Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care (great George Vocals, incredible Roy Orbison vocals)
George Harrison - The Art Of Dying


etc. etc. many of their solo songs easily lived up to the Beatles magic, especially the stuff John and Paul did solo.  Download stuff like "Picasso's last words" or whatever from Paul mcCartney.

Trauma, Jeff Lynne had NOTHING to do with the Beatles before working with Harrison; the fifth Beatle was a man named George Martin, an incredible producer (check For No One or In this Life to check his work).........

Harrison's All things Must Pass is BY FAR the best of the solo albums from any of the Beatles, but all released quality songs, it's just that most of their solo albums were hit and miss and nowhere near as commerically viable as their group albums.

Good post, but I don't think Jeff Lyne had much to do with the Beatles when they were together. I know he worked on those reworked tracks in the 90's (Real Love and Free As A Bird) and on Flaming Pie, maybe more related releases.
