Álbum Extra Texture (Read All About It) de George Harrison - Canciones
Extra Texture (Read All About It)
Reseña
Con Extra Texture (Read All About It), de 1975, George Harrison cierra su contrato con Apple Records con un álbum melancólico y de sonido predominantemente soul. Este trabajo refleja un período de desánimo para el artista, tras la tibia recepción de su anterior disco y la problemática gira norteamericana. Por consiguiente, el tono general del disco es sombrío y reflexivo.
De esta manera, el álbum se aleja del rock para sumergirse en un R&B suave y atmosférico, con un uso prominente de teclados como el piano eléctrico Fender Rhodes y sintetizadores. Temas como "You", que en realidad provenía de sesiones de años anteriores, aportan un toque de energía, pero el corazón del disco reside en baladas introspectivas como "The Answer's at the End" o la hermosa "Tired of Midnight Blue".
Además, el álbum es notable por su honestidad lírica. Harrison expresa sus dudas y su cansancio con la industria musical de una manera muy directa. El propio subtítulo "(Read All About It)" y el diseño de la portada, con el logo de Apple carcomido, simbolizan el fin de una era. Ciertamente, se percibe como un disco de despedida.
En resumen, "Extra Texture" es un álbum infravalorado que captura a George Harrison en su momento más vulnerable. Aunque a menudo se le critica por su sonido pesimista, es una obra llena de alma y con algunas de las melodías más sutiles y hermosas de su carrera. Es, en definitiva, un disco que merece ser redescubierto.

[X]letra de World of Stone
Wise man, you wont be
To follow the like of me
In this world made of stone
Such a long way to go
We may disagree
We all have the right to be
In this world made of stone
Such a long way to go
Such a long, long way from home
And we may disagree
We all have the right to be
In this world made out of stone
Its such a long, long way to go
The wiser you may be
The harder it can be to see
In this world made of stone
Such a long, long way to go
Such a long way from home
In this world made of stone
Such a long, long way to go
And such a long way from omMúsicos invitados: Klaus Voormann (Bass), Jim Keltner (Drums), Jesse Ed Davis (Guitar), George Harrison (Guitar), George Harrison (Vocals), Gary Wright (Organ), David Foster (Piano), David Foster (Synthesizer [Arp Strings]) - A Bit More of You 0:45

[X]letra de Tired of Midnight Blue
The sun came into view
As I sat with the tears in my eyes
The sun came up on you
And as you smiled, the teardrop, it dried
I don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home along with you
Tired of midnight blues
The sun came up so high
And as it shone, I realized your love
The sun shone in your eyes
And as you smiled, you realized it too
Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you
Tired of midnight blues
Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you
Tired of midnight blues
The sun went down the sky
Way up the clouds told me that they knew
The moon came up so high
And as you smiled, I knew that you knew too
Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you
Tired of midnight blues
I don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with youMúsicos invitados: Paul Stallworth (Bass), Jim Keltner (Drums), Jim Keltner (Percussion), George Harrison (Guitar), George Harrison (Vocals), Leon Russell (Piano) - Grey Cloudy LiesVer letra 3:41
[X]letra de Grey Cloudy Lies
And I thought to close my mouth
With a padlock on the night
Leave the battlefield behind
Stay out the fight
Not lose my sight
Now I only want to be
With no pistol at my brain
But at times it gets so lonely
Could go insane
Could lose my aim
Now I only want to live
With no teardrops in my eyes
But at times it feels like no chance
No clear blue skies
Grey cloudy lies
No clear blue skies
Grey cloudy liesMúsicos invitados: Jim Keltner (Drums), George Harrison (Guitar), Jesse Ed Davis (Guitar), David Foster (Piano), George Harrison (Synthesizer [Arp]), George Harrison (Synthesizer [Bass Moog]), George Harrison (Vocals) - His Name Is Legs (Ladies and Gentlemen) 5:45
