Abstract:
"Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison by Seth Rogovoy is a highly personal exploration of George Harrison's essential contributions to the Beatles and his solo work as well as his significant role as a Western proponent of Indian music and beliefs. Through close examination of his guitar playing in the Fab Four and his songwriting in and out of the Beatles, the book attempts to demystify the enigma of this most reluctant of rock stars. Drawing upon the insights of the author - a rock critic and historian of over forty years standing, whose previous books include Bob Dylan: Prophet Mystic Poet -- as well as those of expert observers including English rock singer-songwriters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding and Beatles filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg among others, Within You Without You will forever change the way readers hear the music of the Beatles and view Harrison's role in the group, as well as enhancing appreciation of Harrison as a cultural figure above and beyond his work as a musician"-- Provided by publisher.
