10 Perfect Folk Rock Albums With No Bad Songs

The third record from George Harrison was his first solo album post break-up from the Beatles. It demonstrated the creative nature the man had. Although he made some brilliant music with the Beatles, he flourished when he was unshackled from the company of Lennon and McCartney. Now we had the freedom to pursue his own artistic vision, rather than augment someone else's.

By this point Harrison was heavily into Eastern philosophy, and it informed his writing to no end. The themes of unity, love and goodwill are prevalent throughout this album. The influence of a number of Harrison's contemporaries are also notable. Bob Dylan shares writing credits on a number of songs, and Eric Clapton featured heavily. Indeed the personal list reads like '60s rock royalty. Both Ringo and John Lennon made appearances, as well as Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Ginger Baker - to name but a few.

This album is grand and richly satisfying, Harrison never seemed to be pushing outside of his ability, he was sat comfortably in the pocket. Early on you're treated to one of his all time classics, My Sweet Lord, but things only get better. Run Of The Mill, is a track who's influence you can hear in a number of contemporary groups, from Fleet Foxes, to Whitney.

This record informed indie folk and folk rock to no end.
