what's everybody think of Brainwashed? Personally I think it's his best! My favorites are "Any Road" "Looking for My Life" "Stuck Inside a Cloud" "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and "Brainwashed"
"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."
"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."

I hear you, Klang, but I don't think BW will knock out ATMP for me; I think they are even more awesome when played against each other. In the one, you have the young, fired-up guy in the middle of his Beatles divorce trying to find his artistic and spiritual footing. In the other, you have the guy who's put it all together, calm, content, sure of who he is and his place in the universe. His songs are masterfully constructed and yet so raw; I feel the emotional edge.
Personal faves are "Pisces Fish" (he wrote that for me, you know; I am a Pisces and I also ride a bike, so there!), "Looking for My Life", "Rising Sun", "Marwa Blues", "Stuck Inside a Cloud", "Run So Far" (so poignant!) and "Brainwashed", particularly with the harmonium and chant at the end. What a perfect sense of closure for George's life and career! I love the humor of "P2 Vatican Blues" -- sort of reminds me of when Tom Lehrer skewered the Catholic church in his hilarious "Vatican Rag". And "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and "Rocking Chair in Hawaii" just ooze atmosphere. There's a lot to love about this album... so I do!
Thanks for asking, JimmyMcCullochFan!

Brainwashed is a very special album to me as it helped me out of a very dark period in my life, which of course was five years ago. I agree it was a return to his best work in a long time. Rising Sun & Pieces Fish are incredible pieces of music! Any Road has been a wonderful message i've took on in my life as well! the production that jeff lynne & Dhani fished on it is terrific as well! this album is a tresure in my collection!
It's been a Hard Days Night & i've been working like a dog!
Rising Sun & Pieces Fish are incredible pieces of music!
agreed - as well as Between the Devil and the Blue sea.
Some great guitar (as always) with the instrumental piece. And the chanting at the end of Brainwashed is incredible. Sounds like Maori I must say. When I first heard Brainwashed (the song) I found it hard to believe it was George, I mean it the way he says the word doesnt sound like him...
Can anyone tell me why does the Buddah (in the inside of the cd) has a half moon on his head?

The Moon reprisents holy days of Buddah , like all religions they are all connected to the stars
Ah, thank you kitie! The reason why it sort of confuzed me is because I thought it to be like the Muslim half moon (with no star) and so that wouldnt make much sense...

Wonderful collection of songs. A fantastic testify of George's late career. A shame that we only knew 12 songs from his latest decade of musical work. Anyway, I really believe this album deserved to be a #1 hit. Maybe it's not a masterpiece, but is a consistent effort by this great guitar player. Oh! By the way, Stuck Inside a Cloud is my favourite George song ever...
I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't eat trash... I work out hard everyday and have a healthy life. And I'm proud of it.
I love Marwa Blues i really think it's George's most majestic song by far. Stuck inside a Cloud had me in tears when i first heard it and Devil and the Deep Blue Sea although some say is out of place i feel shows a side of George we fans know and appreciate. GREAT album and one of his best for sure

I love that quote from Dhani about "Brainwashed"
