Title: Solid album
Review: This posthumous release is a solid rock album. The twelve tracks here (though Amazon's listing is missing #3 "Pisces Fish") are all strong songs. Of course, George always took his time releasing albums (almost fifteen years since his last studio album).The album itself is mostly upbeat, with George playing the moving guitar licks for which he is famous. His voice--though weakened over the years--still imparts wisdom, dark humor, and spiritual guidance, all rolled into one 48 minute album.The Wilbury influence is heavy on this album. Jeff Lynne's production is never hard to miss. The jangle of George's twelve string guitars may call to mind Tom Petty, while his voice now more resembles Bob Dylan than his earlier solo outings.In short, this is a good album from a legendary musician. If you like George's other solo stuff or his work with the Beatles, you should also enjoy this album. I especially like the tracks "Looking for My Life," "Stuck in a Cloud," and "Brainwashed."
