Title: Disappointing, except for one song
Review: George Harrison absolutely LOVED ukulele/Hawaiian music in the last years of his life. It is a shame that he didn't do an entire album of covers as he has the exuberant, buoyant spirit of that genre down perfectly in his cover here of "Devil and the deep blue sea". It is the one irresistably charming element in an otherwise hum-drum set. Most of this album is uninspired and lacks melodic hooks to draw you in. Songs begin, progress, and then end with hardly anything musically noteworthy occurring. Some seem as if they were slapped together quickly and beg for reworking. Yes, I know that George was very ill when he made this. An album should not be given high ratings merely because it is a memento of a dying legend, though.
Is the review positive or negative?
