George Harrison was one of the most prolific popular music
composers of the late 20th century. During his tenure with the
Beatles, he caught the wave of 1960s pop culture and began
channeling its pervasive influence through his music. Often
described as "The Invisible Singer," his solo recordings reveal him
to be an elusive, yet essential, element in the Beatles' sound. The
discussion of George Harrison's Beatle tracks featured in the text
employs a Songscape approach that blends accessible music analysis
with an exploration of the virtual space created on the sound
recording. This approach is then used to explore Harrison's
extensive catalog of solo works, which, due to their varied
cultural sources, seem increasingly like early examples of Global
Pop. In that sense, the music of George Harrison may ultimately be
viewed as an important locus for pan-cultural influence in the 20th
century, making this book essential reading for those interested in
the history of songwriting and recording as well as the cultural
study of popular music.
