*** Hey guys! I haven't been posting a lot lately. Life, you know, gets busy sometimes.
*** But I want to share this "new " discovery of mine.
*** I've never been big on George's solo work. I've always found him ego-centric, pompous, and preachy. Not good Rock'n'Roll.
*** I'm listening to his "Brainwashed " album for the first time.I've made it through the first few songs, and, hey, a breath of fresh air!
*** The theme has been, so far, spiritual in nature, after all, this is George, you know!
*** The music is upbeat and pure in execution. The lyrics are deep, and surprisingly gentle.
*** While it is not a masterpiece, it is masterful effort from a master of the trade.
*** If you haven't already checked it out, you're missing out!
*** The gem so far is the opening track "Any Road ".

**Great album but my fav is still 'Cloud Nine' followed by 'George Harrison' and ATMP.
**
**My order would be:
**
**1. Cloud Nine
**2. Brainwashed
**3. ATMP - this would be higher but i was never a fan of the production - too heavy
**4. George Harrison

* ATMP still reigns supreme for me in spite of the production...The quality of the songs overcomes that, imo...Then Cloud 9, Brainwashed, and the self-titled lp...
*
*
*And 33 1/3 has its gems...
*

I certainly agree with both of you!
ATMP, is, in my book, George's greatest, although, as Backbeat observes, the production really detracts from some astoundingly beautiful music..
I really miss George. He was a great guy.
