BRAND NEW Listening to George Harrison by Seth Rogovoy - How did the most reluctant member of the Fab Four put his mark on all of their music? This book helps listeners hear how George shaped the sound of The Beatles and how he carried that sound forward into his solo career. Within You Without You is a highly personal exploration of George’s essential contributions to the Beatles and his solo work, as well as his significant role as a Western proponent of Indian music and beliefs. Through close examination of his guitar playing in the Beatles and his songwriting both in and out of the group, author Seth Rogovoy demystifies the enigma of this most reluctant of rock stars.
Drawing upon the insights of the author - a rock critic and historian for over forty years - as well as those of expert observers including Beatles filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg and English rock singer-songwriters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding, among others, this book extensively examines George's contributions to the musical world. Within You Without You will forever change the way readers hear the music of the Beatles and view George's role in the group, as well as enhancing appreciation of George as a cultural figure above and beyond his work as a musician. Hardcover, 232 pages.
