The Beatles Solo: All Things Must Pass
Record producer and broadcaster Tris Penna reviews the finest album releases by the solo Fab Four.
Record producer and broadcaster Tris Penna reviews the finest album releases by the solo Fab Four. Today Tris features George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’.
During the final years of the band, George Harrison (who had always stood apart from the Lennon and McCartney powerhouse) emerged with Something, Here Comes The Sun and While My Guitar Gently Weeps as a songwriting genius and spiritual and eco warrior - way ahead of his time. It's amazing to think that many of the brilliant songs on All Things Must Pass were rejected from The Beatles White Album and Abbey Road.
World renowned producer Ken Scott (who was engineer on this and many Beatles c;lassics) remembers working with George on both the original triple album as well as the more recent Anniversary remix and remaster.
Tris explores the outpouring of so much amazing writing and George's struggles with releasing the album, singles and the clashes between the spiritual and material worlds he lived in.
In brand new interviews Nettie Baker describes her poem, which her father Ginger gave to George, Tony Visconti recalls George being a good neighbour and Annie Nightingale talks about the complexity of her friend. Nitin Sawhney describes his mentor Ravi Shankar's relationship with George and his own connection with the family and Daryl Easlea talks us through key tracks such as Awaiting On You All, My Sweet Lord, Wah Wah, What Is Life and the title track. We will also hear archive from Eric Clapton, Billy Preston and Paul McCartney.
