When Harrison did finally release a real solo album, however, it was a doozy: the triple-elpee All Things Must Pass (1970). His first solo albums were recorded while still a member of the band and were experimental, instrumental efforts Wonderwall Music (1968) was a deep dive into Eastern and soundtrack music, while Electronic Sound (1969) was exactly what it said it was. Much has been made of George’s development in The Beatles suffice to say, like the Monty Python joke, he got better, eventually finding his own voice within the band.
His music also began to incorporate Eastern themes (e.g., meditation) and sounds, and songs such as “Within You Without You” and “The Inner Light” introduced the Beatles’ fan base (i.e., the world) to new musical and philosophical ideas. Many of Harrison’s songs after his religious conversion have overtly spiritual themes that could be applied broadly in a monotheistic sense (Harrison, like Aldous Huxley, subscribed to the idea that all major religions emanated from the same source). During the 60s, George had a spiritual awakening and became a member of the Hare Krishna movement (a branch of Hinduism).
The youngest member of the group, he was initially cast as the “quiet” Beatle. George played lead guitar and sang in a band called The Beatles.
