Publisher's Summary
Far from being "the quiet one," George Harrison was a writer and arranger of terrific power and beauty, and his guitar playing was fundamental to the Beatles' sound and success. Now fully revised and expanded, this new edition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison is the most comprehensive evaluation of George Harrison's musical career ever published.
Treating each of Harrison's songs with unprecedented analysis, author Simon Leng reveals Harrison's eclectic approach from teenage Nashville twang through Indian raga, psychedelia, gospel, soul, and pure pop and thoroughly defines Harrison's role in the Beatles. First-hand accounts of the Concert for Bangladesh and the making of All Things Must Pass take the reader deep into the most fertile and controversial periods of Harrison's long solo career that culminated with Brainwashed.
Enhanced with insights from key figures who worked closely with Harrison throughout his extraordinary career, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a remarkably stirring study and portrait of a great artist whose musical and spiritual quest changed the lives of millions of people around the world while redefining popular music and rock 'n' roll.

A detailed account of a prolific creator
George Harrison had an incredible existence, I enjoyed hearing the story of his musical life and of his friendship with Bob Dylan.

so sad - but all things must pass :)
Simon Leng has done an incredible job here in chronicling the musical life of George Harrison. Given the importance George placed on his spiritual quest and realisation and its link to Vedic music as a path to the Divine, Simon covers this aspect well too. Too many best bits to mention. It has accompanied me to and from work over the last month as I have been stuck in the traffic of the material world ;) Simon's narration is superb - I love that it has mistakes in it. I am SURE George would love the narration too and especially that the mistakes are included and not glossed over. It makes Simon's deep contribution to George's musical and spiritual odyssey Real. Aum Namah Parvataye! Siva Siva Shankara Namah Sivaya! ❤❤❤
