After George Harrison reissued his classic album All Things Must Pass, rumors spread that he was recording a new album. Unfortunately, he died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001, and these rumors were forgotten. But, in 2002, these rumors were turned into solid fact - the new album, Brainwashed, was finally released. Harrison's Traveling Wilburys bandmate and former Electric Light Orchestra frontman Jeff Lynne helped to complete the album following his death. And one of the singles to be released from the album was Any Road. Read on for my review of this single.The single A-Side, Any Road is an upbeat number which was the opening track on the Brainwashed album. It's one of the few songs from the album where Harrison's voice doesn't sound horribly distorted from his diminishing condition. The B-Side, Marwa Blues, is an excellent instrumental. I'm surprised George didn't do more instrumentals, because he's one of the greatest guitarists of all time. The single also features some bonus material you can view if you put the CD in your computer.These are two excellent songs and the bonus enhanced CD footage is nice, however if you're like me and you only buy CDs for the music, this is unnecessary; all of the MUSIC on here is available on the Brainwashed album. I suggest shelling out the extra cash for the album. Also, since this is an import single (NOT sold in America), it just isn't worth hunting down unless you're a George Harrison completist. That's not to say this is bad stuff, though - it's excellent.
Was tipped off about this CD-Single by Chris Carter, host of the L.A. radio show Breakfast with the Beatles and it has fast become my favorite piece of Beatle media from the past couple of years. Music tracks are straight off of the Brainwashed CD (another must buy),but it is the Video for Any Road that is the necessity here. The best Beatle (not just solo) video ever done. I have shown it to everyone I know and will continue to do so in years to come. THIS ONE IS A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO MISSES GEORGE.
Being an import single I was having a hard time finding this CD in my local stores. I bought a second one through Amazon for a Christmas Present for a dear friend.I don't know if George had a hand in making the Any Road video, but it is an amazing video. I would like to see the video of "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" come out, which was shown partially on the Brainwashed DVD
I am pleased that this record was released as a single. In a proper radio market it is definitely a top 40 hit. But today there seems to be no rhyme or reason to what is a hit. This song sits alongside any of his best. It will not disappoint. Arguably his best opener on any of his albums.
This is a great album The only thing wrong was it wasn't longer but hey it's a single. The Enhanced version is wonderful to. It shows a previous history of Harrisons career as a Beatle with flashes of Yellow Submarine and Him in his Solo career doing interviews with Any Road music playing in the back-ground. A+++!
Any Road is one of George Harrison's best songs and a rollicking delight. It sounds like it was written for the Travelling Wilburys. The inclusion of the Any Road video on this CD makes it an absolute must have. Simon Hilton and Pamela Esterson did an excellent job of designing it for a small screen format (it is designed to play on computer screens using QuickTime). The choice of vintage film clips matching the words in the song is particularly brilliant. Some performance clips have been edited to make it appear that George was actually performing the song. George looks so very happy in most of these clips. The video is a very, very touching and emotional tribute to him.Marwa Blues is a very beautiful instrumental from the Brainwashed CD. George's son, Dhani, performs on both tracks.
