The critics had a field day dismissing this album: religious preaching, holier than thou lyrics and all the rest of it. Why can't people listen to the music for a change? How can anyone be offended by spiritual conviction? Or should I say scared? The same thing happened with Dylan when he became a Christian....it would seem that people prefer no allegiances to anything stronger, which is ridiculous. Life is complex and different people have different ways of dealing with it. And who can blame George after years of being idolised as some sort of hero in the Beatles? When the only return he got was Money for sure but a complete lack of privacy and sense of identity as an individual. Anyway, to the music. Which is Mighty Fine here. The opener 'Give Me Love' is among the finest songs written by anyone and as a result was about the highlight of the Conert For George concert. This song summed up George, even McCartney remarked upon the great chord changes in this song.
The rest of the album is equally fine. 'Sue Me Sue You Blues' contains a rather sad lyric on the Beatles split, but what Slide Guitar!! 'The Light That Has Lighted The World' is absolutely perfect, great chord changes again.....and a melody to die for. 'Don't Let Me Wait Too Long' is an infectious George pop song. Brilliant. 'Who Can See It' strains George's vocals for sure in rather too high a key. So what? Would we have preferred Ronnie Spector to have sung lead here? I think not. The title track is a pretty good stomping rocker with a lovely guitar solo, although far too short. George was rather fond of the horn section but the reason people buy George albums is to hear his guitar, not the horn solos of Tom Scott et al. Am being a bit picky, but you get the point! Side 2 (of the vinyl album) opened with The Lord Loves The One which also showcases an inspired guitar solo, this time of appropriate length. 'Be Here Now' is beautiful. Period. 'Try Some Buy Some' ditto. What a gorgeous melody! And George's production here proves that he could do a pretty effective Spector impresssion, to great effect. 'The Day The World Gets Round', written the day after the Bangla Desh concert is similarly breathtaking in its melody and production. And then we come to the closer 'That Is All' which is about the best ballad George wrote, at least as a solo artist. And those words of the middle eight ring as true 33 years later as they did at the time.

'Times I find it hard to say...with useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more...than trying to say what's been said before'
George chose his allegiances....and his friends carefully. A best practice if ever there was one. And this album is brimming full of happiness if you look beneath the surface. Inner Peace. And beautiful music throughout. A worthy follow up to the monumental 'All Things Must Pass' (1970) if you ask me.

Albums come and go, times change, all things must pass............
BUT this is still one of my all-time favourites! I wore out two vinyl copies in the 70's, and the CD is always close at hand.
George's singing touches the soul - if it doesn't, then you probably haven't got one.
If he'd only ever made this record, his reputation would still have been assured.

This is a surprisingly good re-issue given that the original album sold so well. I thought there'd be little to re-discover but the digital production has been done with a sympathy that has cleared the original sound but left a warmth and honesty in everything. Oddly, in an age where Devandra Banhart and Jonna Newsome are kooky and cool this album fits very well. It's folkier than the albums that followed, sometimes spiritual, but often very open and engaging. Some of the tracks - Be Here Now, for example with its haunting simplicity - haven't dated at all. It's great to see Miss O Dell - where Harrison cracks up twice in fits of giggles - finally released on an album, proving wrong those who thought the man too serious.

Classic. Second only to ATMP
I love this album. After the outpouring of material kept off of Beatles albums on All Things Must Pass, George settles in to some personal songwriting. Read more

Material World
I am collecting George Harrisson since the end of the Beatles. I like his music very much. The LP "Living in the material world" is one of his best LPs. It is really great.

Not in the same league as "All Things Must Pass"
This album has all the Harrison trade marks; soft vocals, melodic slide guitar and non-standard chord changes, but is without doubt, not in the same league as All Things Must Pass,... Read more

Be Here Now
This is a very beautiful album. More chilled and relaxed than All Things Must Pass, an album truly full of passion.
