Description: George Harrison was one of the most prolific popular music composers of the late 20th century. During his tenure with the Beatles he caught the wave of 1960s pop culture and began channeling its pervasive influence through his music. Often described as " The Invisible Singer " his solo recordings reveal him to be an elusive yet essential element in the Beatles sound. The discussion of George Harrison's Beatle tracks featured in the text employs a Songscape approach that blends accessible music analysis with an exploration of the virtual space created on the sound recording. This approach is then used to explore Harrison's extensive catalog of solo works which due to their varied cultural sources seem increasingly like early examples of Global Pop. In that sense the music of George Harrison may ultimately be viewed as an important locus for pan - cultural influence in the 20th century making this book essential reading for those interested in the history of songwriting and recording as well as the cultural study of popular music.
