  • Abbey Road ?

    Well, sort of. Plenty of black cred here if required, but to my mind a
    bit sterile, too many notes, and too fast.

    If no Spotify, I'm sure you can find it elsewhere if you're keen ...

    Nah. It's like easy jazz.

    Here's Black Cred, and it was also George's favorite version of the song. He had it on his jukebox at home.

    Very magnanimous of George.

    Souly and fun for sure, but not a patch on the original, to me at least.

    Are you saying you weren't already aware of this being George's favorite version?

    In 1972, Harrison told music journalist Mike Hennessey that the Robinson and Cocker versions were among his favourites. In later interviews, he said that the best cover version was a recording by James Brown, in which the singer declares "I got to
    believe in something!" over the main riff. Harrison commented that the recording was relatively obscure in Brown's catalogue: "It was one of his B-sides. I have it on my jukebox at home. It's absolutely brilliant."

    Ah, "best cover version", as opposed to "favourite version". OK, fine ...

    Not really - a bit rough. Good fun though.

    Backing is pretty 'loose' in parts. And quite a bit of licence taken in
    the arrangement. And (shock horror) an electric bass ;-O

    I don't like the Brown version that much either. Wonder what it is that GH saw in it to proclaim it "absolutely brilliant."

    George had said that when he wrote the song he wrote it as if Ray Charles was singing it, but he ended up not liking Ray's version much. It is very sappy with all of the fucking violins.

    George wasn't always a great judge of music. He told the Rockline audience that they should be listening to Dylan's stuff -- which was horrible at that time. And he said that his best guitar solo was the one he did for Belinda Carlisle.

    I suspect Harrison was tired of talking about the Beatles and eager to downplay their importance.
