5335. George Harrison - This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying)
 |
| From: Extra Texture (Read All About It); Year: 1975; Genre: Rock |
I'm not sure why, but I felt like listening to some of George Harrison's post-Beatles music and picking something from that era as well. From what I can understand, this song is a sequel of sorts to his epic song he recorded with The Beatles that featured Eric Clapton: While Guitar Gently Weeps. It was also apparently written in response to critics who viciously panned his previous tour and record for seemingly nothing more than him not playing material from or music that sounded like The Beatles. This appears to have been a running theme all the former members of the group had to deal with as they went on their own way to other projects and solo work. Personally, whilst I like a goodly amount of The Beatles' music, I really like how they progressed afterwards and continued to evolve artistically. To me, this is another in many instances where music critics show their worthlessness and how their opinions are utter garbage.
Anyway, (like the song's apparent predecessor), it features excellent and beautiful guitar work throughout, but with a more modern feel and a heavier beat to it to boot.
