INSPIRATIONAL ROOTS
Goodbye Beatles!
After the miserable 'Get Back' recording sessions (later the album was renamed as 'Let It Be') in 1969, and the final Beatle's album to be made 'Abbey Road' ('Let It Be' was recorded previous to 'Abbey Road' but released after it), the Beatles were well and truly over. The band, as a whole had outgrown each ...
Advantages: The best supergroup that never was Disadvantages: Can?t buy it any more.
?ve never heard the Wilbury?s for goodness sake send in one of they email things to support it?s re-release. You?ll find an address at http://www.geocities.com/nelsonwilbury/faq.html. Apparently Nelson Wilbury has now the rights to the recordings and may agree to a re-issue. I?m told you might also find second hand copies at www3.gemm.com

WHY THEN IS THIS REVIEW FILED UNDER THE HEADING OF GEORGEHARRISON?
Well, I offer this review as a tribute to a great musical personality (singer, guitarist, songwriter) and I admit that I asked the management at CIAO to open up the category specially.
O.K.: So who are the Traveling Wilbury?s?

Album Notes
Personnel includes: George Harrison (vocals, guitar, mandolin, marimba, synthesizer, bass); Ray Cooper (Fender Rhodes piano, marimba, synthesizer, percussion, effects); Billy Preston (piano, organ, keyboards, synthesizer); Mike Moran (piano, keyboards, synthesizer); Neil Larsen (piano); Gary Brooker (synthesizer); Willie Weeks, Herbie Flowers (bass); Jim Keltner, Dave Mattacks, Henry Spinetti (drums). Producers: George Harrison, Ray Cooper, Phil McDonald. Generally overlooked in the ex-Beatle's solo discography, 1982's GONE TROPPO finds George Harrison flirting with radio-friendly, synth-driven pop hooks of the early-1980s, while still demonstrating his penchant for great, timeless melodies. The opener, "Wake Up My Love," establishes the light, breezy tone of the album, which continues through the Caribbean-via-Fab Four vibe of the title track. The languid love song "Unknown Delight" and the goofy doo-wop of "I Really Love You," which recalls Beatles novelty numbers such as "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)," vary the record's feel and pace. The 2004 reissue includes an acoustic demo version of the song "Mystical One," which is arguably--given its intimacy and stripped-down production--the album's strongest track.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (3/4/04, p.68) - 3 stars out of 5 - "GONE TROPPO might just be Harrison's most underrated album....[It] captures Harrison at his most relaxed and playful..." Uncut (4/04, p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[A] return to form of sorts - amiable, light-hearted music made by a bunch of mates with nothing to prove..."
