Pros:
Album contains good musicianship, Harrison's slide playing, and some solid songs on a relaxed album

Cons:
Spiritual themes may put off listeners who worship Satan.

I was so young when I was born. Aren t we all. I ve got a long way to go baby Though his solo career has been hit or miss, and in fact, dismissed by many Beatles fans as inconsequential, George Harrison [1943-2001] remains capable of surprising his most ardent critics from time to time. Though his songwriting talents may not be as polished as Paul McCartney s or as revered as John Lennon s, there is no denying that the quiet Beatle has had his moments of brilliance captured on record. Sometimes are good sometimes are bad Harrison released his masterwork All Things Must Pass in 1970 and then...

Pros:

Pros:
Harrison at his most melodic

Cons:
Still a little preachy, but the tunes make up for it

Surpassed only by George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, Harrison's Thirty-Three and a Third surely ranks as one of the best post-Beatles albums ever. The title comes from Harrison's age when he recorded the album, but in the seven years that preceded its release, Harrison had some growing-up to do (anyone for Dark Horse?). This album shows the full flowering of Harrison's mental and musical maturity. The highlight of the album is "Dear One," a song presumably devoted to Harrison's Lord Krishna, but so universal that it could apply to anyone's first love. The instrumental bridge is as...
