THE ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE VOTED HIM AS " 100 BEST GUITARIST OF ALL TIMES" THE MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM IS TYPICAL BASIC GEORGE HARRISON'S MUSIC AND A CONTINUATION OF "ALL THINGS MUST PASS" ALBEIT MORE REFINED WITH WIDESPREAD STRINGS ARRANGEMENT, GREAT GUITAR PLAYING, PRONOUNCED BASS LINES WITH SAX AND FLUTE WORKS FROM JIM HORN AND NICKY HOPKINS SOLID PIANO.
