Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There's a simplicity about these previously unreleased demos that's utterly beguiling, the spare settings allowing the sweeter side of George Harrison's character to shine unencumbered by studio blandishments.
The impression is of a sweet, gentle soul in love with the immediacy of music, while the material – from demos of "My Sweet Lord" and "Awaiting on You All" to deliciously delicate covers of "Let It Be Me" and Dylan's "Mama You've Been on My Mind" – produces a tone of reconciliation and forgiveness. Particularly engaging are the lilting country number "Behind That Locked Door", and gentle country-blues "Woman Don't You Cry for Me", showcasing Harrison's nimble blend of strumming and picking.
