Sobre el álbum

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.

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 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".

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. Se percibe como un disco de despedida.

"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 un disco que merece ser redescubierto.

    Letra

    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 you
  9. Grey Cloudy Lies3:41

    Letra

    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 lies
