About the Book

How did the most reluctant member of the Fab Four put his mark on all of their music? This book helps listeners hear how George Harrison shaped the sound of The Beatles and how he carried that sound forward into his solo career Within You Without You is a highly personal exploration of George Harrison's essential contributions to the Beatles and his solo work, as well as his significant role as a Western proponent of Indian music and beliefs. Through close examination of his guitar playing in the Fab Four and his songwriting both in and out of the Beatles, author Seth Rogovoy demystifies the enigma of this most reluctant of rock stars. Drawing upon the insights of the author--a rock critic and historian of over forty years standing--as well as those of expert observers including Beatles filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg and English rock singer-songwriters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding, among others, this book extensively examines George Harrison's contributions to the musical world. Within You Without You will forever change the way readers hear the music of the Beatles and view Harrison's role in the group, as well as enhancing appreciation of Harrison as a cultural figure above and beyond his work as a musician.

About the Author :
Seth Rogovoy is the author of Bob Dylan: Prophet Mystic Poet and The Essential Klezmer: A Music Lover's Guide to Jewish Roots and Soul Music and contributing editor for The Forward.

Review :
[Rogovoy] makes a compelling case that George's contribution to the Beatles was far, far greater than most critics gave him credit for. Meticulously researched. As George Harrison has emerged as the favorite Beatle of post-Millennials, no book has attempted to wrestle with his sometimes dazzling, sometimes baffling body of work. Seth Rogovoy's insightful, comprehensive Within You Without You offers perceptive, unexpected takes on Harrison favorites you've heard a million times-but it will also send you, maybe for the first time, to some of his more obscure, yet rewarding music. [An] astute analysis of Harrison's musical evolution. An absorbing, forensic account of Harrison's unique an essential part in developing and perpetuating a phenomenon...the compelling detail is delivered with vivid colour...[Rogovoy] urges the reader to hasten back to listening.
