EDITORS’ NOTES

George Harrison worked through heartbreak to create this deeply emotional collection. His rewrite of The Everly Brothers' “Bye Bye Love” pulls no punches, and centers—like most songs here—on a devastating lead vocal. Tom Scott and the L.A. Express provide a smooth jazz-like cushion with the powerful instrumental opener “Hari’s on Tour (Express).” But the (broken) heart of the album consists of songs like the aching keyboard-based, midtempo “So Sad” and the funkier title track on which Harrison puts everything on the line.
