About
Eng
How does an instant multimillion-selling album become an underrated minor masterpiece? George Harrison's follow-up to the triple-disc All Things Must Pass (which had been comprised of an immense backlog of great songs that he'd built up across the last years of his time with the Beatles), Living in the Material World was necessarily a letdown for fans and critics, appearing as it did two-and-a-half-years after its predecessor without that earlier album's outsized songbag from which to draw. And it does seem like Harrison narrowed his sights and his vision for this record, which has neither the bold musical expansiveness nor the overwhelming confidence of its predecessor. And while there are still some beautiful and delightfully lyrical, charming moments throughout, few of the melodies are as instantly memorable and compelling as those of most of the songs on the earlier record, and some of the most serious songs here, such as "The Light That Has Lighted the World," seem weighed down with their own sense of purpose, in ways that All Things Must Pass mostly (but not entirely) avoided. What Living in the Material World does show off far better than the earlier record, however, is Harrison's guitar work -- unlike the prior album, with its outsized contingent of musicians including Eric Clapton and Dave Mason on guitars, he's the only axeman on Material World, and it does represent his solo playing and songwriting at something of a peak. Most notable are his blues stylings and slide playing, glimpsed on some of the later Beatles sessions but often overlooked by fans.
"Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" is driven by a delectable acoustic rhythm guitar and has a great beat. The title track isn't great, but it does benefit from a tight, hard, band sound, and "The Lord Loves the One (That Loves the Lord)," despite its title, is the high point of the record, a fast, rollicking, funky, bluesy jewel with a priceless guitar break (maybe the best of Harrison's solo career) that should have been at the heart of any of Harrison's concert set. Vocally, Harrison was always an acquired taste, and he isn't as self-consciously pretty or restrained here, but it is an honest performance, and his singing soars magnificently in his heartfelt performance on "The Day the World Gets Round," a song that resembles "Beware of Darkness" and also, curiously enough, "Across the Universe." Perhaps a less serious title would have represented the album better, but nobody was looking for self-effacement from any ex-Beatle except Ringo (who's also here, natch) in those days. Even in the summer of 1973, after years of war and strife and disillusionment, some of us were still sort of looking -- to borrow a phrase from a Lennon-McCartney song -- or hoping to get from them something like "the word" that would make us free. And George, God love him, had the temerity to actually oblige, to the extent of painting a few signs here and there suggesting where he'd found it and where we might, all with some great playing and some laughs. And it wasn't all serious -- there are pointed moments of humor throughout, especially on the title song; and "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" was a follow-up to Beatles-era tracks such as "Only a Northern Song," dealing with the internal workings and business side of his lingering involvement with the group, in this case the multiple, overlapping, sometimes rotating lawsuits that attended the breakup of their organization. And one track, "Try Some, Buy Some," which he'd given away to Ronnie Spector at the time, actually dated back to the All Things Must Pass sessions.

Living in the Material World (рус. Живя в материальном мире) — студийный альбом Джорджа Харрисона, вышедший в 1973 году после легендарного тройного альбома All Things Must Pass и концертного The Concert for Bangladesh. Это был второй сольный альбом Харрисона после распада The Beatles.
Утомлённый организацией огромного благотворительного «Концерта для Бангладеш» в 1971 году, Харрисон был не в состоянии начать работу над новым альбомом вплоть до конца 1972 года. Харрисон записал «Living in the Material World» без помощи Фила Спектора, в студии Apple Records в Лондоне. Как обычно, Харрисон пригласил к участию в записи альбома своих друзей-музыкантов Ринго Старра, Джима Келтнера, Ники Хопкинса, Гэри Райта и Клауса Формана. Музыка для песни «Try Some, Buy Some» была записана Харрисоном вместе с Филом Спектором в ещё в 1971 году специально для американской певицы Ронни Спектор. Музыкальная композиция Харрисону понравилась и он решил использовать её для своей собственной версии песни.
За полтора месяца до выхода альбома, Харрисон выпусти сингл «Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)», который достиг первого места в американских чартах и попал в десятку в британских. Сам альбом вышел в свет 22 июня 1973 года и имел большой успех. Он продержался на вершине американского хит-парада пять недель, достиг первой позиции в канадских и австралийских чартах, и второй позиции — в британских. В американских чартах Living in the Material World пришёл на смену альбому Пола Маккартни и группы Wings Red Rose Speedway. В отличие от All Things Must Pass, критики встретили альбом достаточно прохладно. Они отметили серьёзный и даже несколько мрачный тон Living in the Material World, отличавшегося философско-религиозным уклоном. В альбоме нашла отражение озабоченность Харрисона состоянием мира и направлением, в котором двигалось человечество. Принято считать, что после выхода Living in the Material World музыкальная карьера Харрисона пошла на спад. Однако, оглядываясь назад, большинство современных критиков характеризуют Living in the Material World как ценный и добротный альбом музыканта.

About
Released just after George left Apple for his own Dark Horse label (and appearing in stores just in time for the Christmas season of 1976), The Best of George Harrison neatly splits into a side of Harrison solo hits and a side of his Beatles tunes. This is the only solo Beatles hits compilation to rely so heavily upon Fab Four recordings, which is a good indication of how George didn't rack up as many charting singles as John, Paul, or Ringo, but having the Beatles tunes here does paint a fuller portrait of Harrison's work as a singer/songwriter, even if it makes the collection somewhat less useful -- after all, most listeners would want a George Harrison compilation to focus on his solo recordings, not the Beatles' hits they already have. But all this is down to a matter of timing and circumstance: Harrison needed to have a hits collection out in 1976, he didn't have enough big hits to fill out 13 tracks (even if he certainly had enough great album tracks to do so), and so the Fabs were brought in to fill in the cracks. The result might be a little underwhelming in retrospect, but it's undeniably entertaining.
