FIRST NEW GEORGE HARRISON MUSIC VIDEO IN 15 YEARS TO BE RELEASED
²Any Road², one of the standout tracks from the acclaimed Brainwashed album, is out now. It was released on Monday 12th May.
The accompanying promo video includes previously unreleased footage that lovingly celebrates George’s life. His humour and spirit are captured in the studio, in concert, casual shots and animated footage. « Any Road » is the first new George Harrison music video since « This is Love » from Cloud Nine in 1988.
Written by George Harrison, « Any Road » is produced by George, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison. The track features George on slide and acoustic guitars and banjulele; Jeff Lynne on bass, piano and backing vocals; Dhani Harrison on electric guitar and backing vocals; and Jim Keltner on drums.
Critics worldwide have embraced the album. Time Out believe, ?… Harrison has left his fans with plenty to be proud of.¹ and The Times see Brainwashed as ‘… a record that deserves to stand alongside his best solo work’. Mojo went on to say that ?… George Harrison book ended his solo years with his two best albums.’
The New York Times said, « The music is vintage Harrison: laid-back but by no means underpowered, with melodies tugged between major and minor keys, and lyrics that are filled with humorous wordplay but are also cuttingly direct. Harrison’s trademark slide guitar shines through everywhere and is particularly fluid in the instrumental « Marwa Blues » and at the start of « Stuck Inside A Cloud. » This is not a guitarist who retired to the garden. »
George¹s new web site, www.georgeharrison.com , has also just been launched. The site contains daily news, a message board, an online shop, a busy media section which includes audio clips and video footage, plus ³George¹s Jukebox² which includes some of his all time favourite songs. Click on down, avoid getting ³Brainwashed² and take a stroll through George¹s new online garden.
