Musicpost: 'Blow Away' by George Harrison
All I've got to say is I love this song.
And love is all around it because George Harrison--lead guitarist, singer and songwriter in the No. 1 band of all time, The Beatles--released this song on Valentine's Day in 1979. I could've sworn it was an 80s song...well, it almost is.
Harrison was incredibly talented. In addition to the guitar, he played classical Indian stringed instruments such as the sitar, sarod, tambura and swarmandal, as well as the mandolin, ukulele, keyboards, and bass.
He died of lung cancer in 2001 at 58-years-old--a huge loss for Rock n' Roll.
Enjoy.
