Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If one truly embraces Harrison's own philosophical foundations, Brainwashed isn't really a posthumous release at all. Completed by longtime collaborator/producer Jeff Lynne (Traveling Wilburys, Cloud Nine) and son Dhani Harrison after the ex-Beatle succumbed to a long illness in November of 2001, it's a bittersweet reminder of the myriad contradictions that made Harrison such a compelling figure. Arguably one of the most warm, melodically rich albums of a career pockmarked by personal frankness and professional indifference in its latter years, Harrison finds rewarding ways here to reconcile bitter assessments of the material world (the title track) with more fleshly concerns, the expectations of pop legend with a muse that's familiar (the Wilburyesque "Any Road"), if sometimes as trendy as high-button shoes, as his jaunty take on the Arlen/Koehler chestnut, "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea", with George on ukulele and Jools Holland on roadhouse piano ably demonstrates. With the singer's distinctive voice dry and pushed to the forefront and his trademark slide guitar riffs as sinewy as ever, Lynne's showcase production is mostly spot-on and refreshingly restrained, while Dhani Harrison brings his own fresh, touchingly personal insights to the record. He's double-tracked his own voice onto an old recording of his father chanting the traditional "Namah Parvati" and appended it as the album's spiritual benediction, a touching reminder that while musicians come and go, music can truly embody their spirit forever. --Jerry McCulley

CD Description

Posthumous final solo album from the erstwhile Beatle, featuring songs demoed just before his death in November 2001. Completed by Harrison's son Dhani and his longtime collaborator, ELO's Jeff Lynne, this collection showcases his languid lead guitar work and his long-running spiritual and political themes. Includes a Hoagy Carmichael cover, 'Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks George, 23 Nov 2002

By	Alan P. Thatcher "Alan T." (Chelmsford, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brainwashed (Audio CD)

One of the music magazines said "all very pleasant but nothing to do with contemporary music" - and thank God for that ! This is a lovely final album from George - full of that beautiful slide guitar, wry humour, poignant lyrics and strong tunes (remember them ?), not to mention his adored uke.

A word too for the production work of Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison, don't believe what you read about this being overdubbed to sound like an ELO album. It probably is a bit "posher" than George originally intended but is sounds great - a cradle for George's voice and guitar as Dhani refers to it on the DVD.

Standout tracks for me are: Any Road, Pisces Fish, Looking for My Life, Marwa Blues, Stuck Inside a Cloud, Run So Far and Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

Thanks George.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Dying, 29 Dec 2002

By	P. Price (Lewes) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brainwashed (Audio CD)

These are strong songs with memorable melodies and a fine production sound. In any normal circumstances, this would rate very highly as a George Harrison solo album (probably right up there with 1979's "George Harrison" - which you should check out if you haven't already). However, the fact that these songs were written and recorded whilst George was dying makes this a unique experience that is both moving and inspirational. What is truely remarkable is that the songs are not in the least self pitying or depressing, but rather uplifting, reassuring and even optimistic. I urge everybody who is wavering to buy this record -one day you may need to listen to these songs in a dark moment in your own lives, and I guarantee they will help. Rest in peace, George and thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars George's Finest Album, 24 Aug 2004

By	"rikj82" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brainwashed (Audio CD)

I have to say I had high expectations when purchasing this album, and they were met, no exceeded by what I heard in Brainwashed. Dhani and Jeff have produced it brilliantly. George's songs on this album are a true delight to listen to, such as tracks like "Marwa Blues", "Stuck Inside A Cloud" and "P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night)." It is a masterpiece which I urge every Beatle/Traveling Wilburys or George solo fan to buy. It is my opinion quintessencially George's Finest Work!
