Sorry its been so long, I've been terribly busy with life... Ok, so today we're going to look at the George Harrison self-titled album from 1979. Rock critics such as Robert Christgau ( the self proclaimed dean of American rock critics, whom I seldom agree with) andothers panned this release when it came out, and basically questioned George's talent as a songwriter and a musician. So I found a copy of this on cd from England (gotta find the original vinyl as well). So I put it in tonight while reading some homework and... Holy s**t! This is a great album from a great musician! Very well written and played. I think part of the issue with critics (besides the fact that most of them do not know their asses from a hole in the ground) and the former Beatles is that they were no longer Beatles. You can't expect them to always be the Fab Four. I also think that the musical climate in 1979 was rapidly changing, and this album was just a little too laid back compared to what was popular at the time. Regardless, I would recommend this to anyone who likes George Harrison. Good stuff, and as always, George leads me to a more peaceful place. Thanks Mr. H Jason rating:****
