Iconic Albums - George Harrison - Somewhere In England

Richard Ward

Iconic Albums - George Harrison - Somewhere in England is a rich, in-depth exploration of one of George Harrison's most quietly complex solo records. Far more than just a product of the early 1980s, Somewhere in England is an album forged through grief, spiritual resilience, artistic defiance, and corporate compromise. In this deeply researched and passionately written volume, author Richard Ward traces the album's creation, rejection, rebirth, and enduring legacy across more than 30 vivid chapters.

From the serene introspection of "Life Itself" to the bittersweet Beatles reunion of "All Those Years Ago," this book pulls back the curtain on Harrison's creative process-highlighting his battles with Warner Bros., his response to John Lennon's murder, and his quietly rebellious stance against the shallow trends of the time. Featuring analysis of every track, background on the musicians involved, insight into the rejected songs, and a compelling narrative of an artist navigating grief and resistance, this is a definitive companion for any fan of George Harrison or classic rock history.

Perfect for both longtime fans and new listeners looking to rediscover Harrison's later-period gems, Iconic Albums - George Harrison - Somewhere in England captures the full story behind an album that refuses to be forgotten. Subtle, spiritual, and quietly subversive-this is George Harrison as you've never heard him before.
