How did the most reluctant member of the Fab Four put his mark on all of their music? This book helps listeners hear how George Harrison shaped the sound of The Beatles and how he carried that sound forward into his solo careerWithin You Without You 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 both in and out of the Beatles, author Seth Rogovoy demystifies 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--as well as those of expert observers including Beatles filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg and English rock singer-songwriters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding, among others, this book extensively examines George Harrison's contributions to the musical world. 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.

Reviews for Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison

As George Harrison has emerged as the favorite Beatle of post-Millennials, no book has attempted to wrestle with his sometimes dazzling, sometimes baffling body of work. Seth Rogovoy's insightful, comprehensive Within You Without You offers perceptive, unexpected takes on Harrison favorites you've heard a million times-but it will also send you, maybe for the first time, to some of his more obscure, yet rewarding music. * Alan Light, author of The Holy or the Broken and Let's Go Crazy and co-host of the ""Sound Up!"" podcast * [An] astute analysis of Harrison's musical evolution. * Publishers Weekly *
