The Words and Music of George Harrison is an in-depth appreciation of this often underappreciated musician, following Harrison's development as a singer-songwriter from his earliest songs with The Beatles through his final album, Brainwashed , released after his 2001 death from brain cancer.



The Words and Music of George Harrison sheds new light on HarrisonÕs 40-year career, examining his music output in the context of the enormous personal and professional changes he underwent, from the early days in Liverpool and the global explosion of Beatlemania through a solo career marked by spiritual concerns, political activism, and high-profile collaborations. As the book shows, at every stage, George HarrisonÕs songs posed questions, provided commentaries, and looked for solutions, with results that add up to a remarkable music legacy.
