About
Two of George Harrison’s most charming singles—the soulful “You” and the loving sequel to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “This Guitar (Can’t Keep From Crying)”—get this underrated mid-'70s collection moving. Jesse Ed Davis duels with Harrison on the guitar solo for “Crying” and drummer Jim Keltner provides the endless grooves. The ballads “The Answer’s at the End” and “Grey Cloudy Skies” reveal Harrison's reflective side, while the uptempo “His Name Is Legs” pays colorful tribute to ex-Bonzo Dog Band drummer “Legs” Larry Smith.
