album recorded just before his death
« on: September 11, 2005, 11:10:51 PM »

I have heard that George was working on an album (that contained the song "Horse To Water") just before he died.  Does anyone know what the album is and if it is available anywhere.  Was it ever released?

I'm pretty sure it wasnt released on any Harrison album (would be a nice bonus on Brainwashed), but you can find the song on this cd.

Brainwashed was still in production when George died, and his son Dhani finished it for him.

Yes, it is "Brainwashed". You can buy it in music stores, I think.

Found this on the net. Dated 18th October 2001.

George Harrison was in the studio Oct. 1 recording his first track since his most recent cancer treatment, reports Ananova and Reuters. The track, called "A Horse to Water," was co-written by his son, Dhani, and recorded with Jools Holland, who hosts his own music variety show on the BBC (and seen in the U.S. on BBC America) and interviewed the Fabs for the Anthology. Said Holland, "George suggested we do a track and this finally happened this month. It was wonderful to work with one of the great, legendary artists in the world." A Holland spokesman described the song as a cross as a cross between 1960s Bob Dylan and early 1970s John Lennon. ``It is not a ballad and it is not rock -- I think George Harrison fans will be intrigued,'' the spokesman said. Reuters says the track was recorded Oct. 1 Reuters reports the song will appear on Holland's forthcoming album ``Small World, Big Friends,'' to be released in Britain Nov. 19, and as a single, though we suspect it would be credited to both Holland and Harrison, not just to George, as many of the wire reports seem to imply. On the album, Holland plays duets with musicians including Mark Knopfler, Van Morrison and Eric Clapton. The song has a publishing credit to RIP Ltd 2001. Hopefully, we'll hear more from George soon, including the album we've all been waiting for. One more thing: Realize that this song, despite the wording of some of the media reports, is basically a Holland track and not just a Harrison single.

I know, Bobber! :) I was only telling him that the album that had been recorded before dear George's death, was Brainwashed. :P I didn't say that HTTW was on it! Come on, being a George obsessed, would I say such thing by mistake?? :B :B :B

Of course not. I was just saying that, well, Horse To The Water is not on Brainwashed. But I'm sure you already knew that.  ; :P

There's a compilation called Today from 2002, which contains Horse To The Water.

George Harrison's Brainwashed - An Uplifting Tribute To a Man and His Music - Short Story

During the final years of his life, George Harrison was working on an album that is a powerful statement from one of the most important musicians of our time. Brainwashed captures Harrison's yearning for an ideal realm beyond the world where we all live.

I think 'Horse To Water' was only ever intended for the Jools Holland album and not for any solo release by George. There is a video - or promo film clip - for the song (in black and white I think) which shows George and Jools Holland in a studio during the recording.

Talking of 'Brainwashed', I'm not sure if it's just me, but the vocals seems too forward in the mix. I suppose I'm used to George's voice being further back in the overall sound.
