Free Music Review: Sweet soul music
Hit: 5 Stars
This record is George's "soul" album. And I have actually felt for a long time that George Harrison is one of the most soulful white singers, writers, and guitarists. I love this entire record, because it has a certain "feel" that you just don't hear anymore in music these days. My favorite tracks are "The Answer's at the End," "This Guitar," and "Tired of Midnight Blue," but I really do enjoy every track. I suppose "Can't Stop Thinking About You" is another favorite. What people forget about this record is that it was a HUGE improvement over the hoarse sounding mess that was the Dark Horse album. This record finds George's voice back to its sweetness and soulfulness. Also, the production is much cleaner and tighter. The musicians are all top notch, especially the rhythm section. Jim Keltner plays on every song except the last. Klaus Voormann plays bass on a few songs here, Leon Russell contributes some stunning piano on Midnight Blue. The drumming, in particular, is outstanding. Jim Keltner is the next best thing to Ringo. His snare drum is so full and warm on this record, and it floats through every song with grace and ease. George's guitar playing is sublime as always, particularly when he plays slide in his own trademark melodic style. The songwriting is also much more sophisticated in terms of melody and harmony. George has always known just how to tastefully use the right seventh and ninth chords, and diminished chords, for exactly the right effect, without overdoing it. Listen to the backup harmonies on "Can't Stop Thinking About You," and how they mesh with the strings! Heavenly! Listen to the rhythm guitar on "Tired of Midnight Blue," and how it meshes with the piano! Absolutely luscious! And ooh those warm Keltner drums! Every track has something special, even the ones I didn't mention right away. "World of Stone" has a gospel feel, very lovely. "Grey Cloudy Lies" is a beautiful melancholy piece, with gorgeous harmonies and drumming, and wonderful synthesizer work as well, very tasteful. This is emotional music, very heartfelt, very beautiful and gentle on the spirit. George's best solo albums are All Things, Material World, Extra Texture, 33 1/3, the self-titled 1979 record, and Cloud Nine. This album is closest in feel to the 1979 "George Harrison" album, which is another relaxed and soulful affair. 33 1/3 is more uptempo and extroverted, certainly also one of his greatest records, in a similar rock vein as Cloud Nine. But when you want to get swept away by the soulfulness and heartfelt musicianship of George Harrison and his closest musical allies, Extra Texture is the one. It always puts me in a more peaceful and positive frame of mind, always soothes me in times of doubt. If you want to crank up a rock and roll album, 33 1/3 is among George's best, very muscular and energetic. When you're having a rough time, and you NEED to hear something to heal your soul, look no further than Extra Texture. George WILL NOT let you down. The man has real soul.
