A Loving Tribute to George Harrison

Fresh versions of old songs seen through young eyes.

     

Tribute albums can be the sincerest form of flattery, though many prove to be sadly disappointing, failing to add to the magic of the original recordings. The death of George Harrison ‘The quiet Beatle’ shocked many in the pop world and it is no surprise that a Harrison tribute CD is now available. He Was Fab- A Loving Tribute to George Harrison is musically refreshing as it is not the expected collection of big name artists imposing their slant on Harrison’s well loved back catalogue. Tim Anthony, the New York musician and producer, carefully selected young Indie pop artists to give their personal interpretations of 19 classic Harrison songs. Anthony’s love and affection for this music shows in these fresh versions of old songs seen through young eyes. Every artist and track on He Was Fab is exceptional. Harrison’s musical career is fully documented with such numbers as My Sweet Lord, the first track by any of the former Beatles to reach the top of the charts, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, Here Comes The Sun, plus I Need You and You Like Me Too Much from the album Help. This collection was created with great devotion and respect for these songs which have been given refreshingly new treatments without losing the famous Rickenbacker guitars or the original spirit of the songs. He Was Fab A Loving Tribute to George Harrison deserves to be heard by a wide audience.
