George Harrison Songs Ranked

George HarrisonĀ is the eighth studio album by English rock musicianĀ George Harrison, released in February 1979.

Harrison wrote several of the songs in Hawaii, while the track ā€œFasterā€ reflected his year away from music-making, when he and Arias attended many of the races in the 1977Ā Formula 1Ā World Championship. The album also includes the hit single ā€œBlow Awayā€ and ā€œNot Guiltyā€, a song that Harrison originally recorded withĀ the BeatlesĀ in 1968. Issued onĀ Dark Horse Records,Ā George HarrisonĀ was well-received by music critics on release. Commentators regularly cite it among the artistā€™s best works after his 1970 triple albumĀ All Things Must Pass. The album was remastered in 2004 as part of Harrisonā€™sĀ Dark Horse Years 1976ā€“1992Ā reissues. Here are all of George Harrison songs ranked.

10. If You Believe

ā€œIf You Believeā€ is, unfortunately, marred slightly by a cumbersome melody, but the silky slide guitar work more than makes up for this.ā€

9. Blow Away

ā€œBlow Awayā€ was a smash over here in the US, and itā€™s the first George song I ever remember hearing on the radio. Starting with a beautiful slide solo, Harrison proceeds with one of his most melodically assured compositions. Itā€™s really compulsively infectious.ā€

8. Soft Touch

ā€œSoft Touchā€ has some interesting twists and turns. The descending guitar riff is really cool. Of all the tunes, this one reminds me most of the Beatles. ā€œSoft Touchā€ was written about Georgeā€™s newly-born son and is another warm, sweet song.ā€

7. Soft-Hearted Hana

ā€œGeorgeā€™s classic tunes. ā€œSoft-Hearted Hanaā€ is the song here with the most Sixties references, both musically and lyrically. Harrison plays some tasty dobro, and the lyrics are Georgeā€™s most surreal.ā€

Song that made George Harrison fall out of love with music

6. Your Love Is Forever

ā€œYour Love Is Foreverā€ may very well be George Harrisonā€™s most beautiful song (though it has a lot of competition). With some of his best singing and his most beguiling melody, this song alone would be worth the price of the CD.ā€

5. Here Comes the Moon

ā€œHear Comes The Moonā€ is (obviously) a sequel song to a certain Beatles classic. I think I might actually prefer this song to ā€œHear Comes The Sun.ā€ Definitely one of Georgeā€™s classic tunes.ā€

4. Dark Sweet Lady

ā€œDark Sweet Ladyā€ is a pleasant ballad for Olivia Harrison which features some nice guitar stylings. Ā The playing is understated, simple, but full of how great a guitar player he was, even though heā€™d probably disagree.ā€

3. Not Guilty

ā€œGeorge is good at light jazz arrangements, and I would have liked to see him do more of this in his career, but this is certainly a good pre-Beatle breakup song, and the arrangement is superbly done.ā€

2. Faster

ā€œFasterā€ is another one of the many breezy, melodic tunes on this album. Brisk acoustic guitars and a joyful Harrison vocal make this most appealing. ā€œFaster,ā€ inspired by and dedicated to the Formula One racing circus, is another fun catchy number, full of great hooks and musical energy.ā€

1. Love Comes to Everyone

ā€œLove Comes To Everyoneā€ is awash with gorgeous chiming guitars and an immaculate vocal performance. From another artist, Georgeā€™s optimistic lyrics might have sounded cloying. From him, they sound absolutely genuine.ā€
