Cloud 9 by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1987

Ok, so the album is called "Cloud Nine", but the song is called "Cloud 9". At least until the 2004 CD reissue where the album was called "Cloud 9" on the spine. In any case, "Cloud 9" (or "Nine") the song is what we are discussing here. I like this song, but it seems like a much-slowed down version of "Got My Mind Set On You", with the same drum beat. Shhh…don’t tell anyone. A welcome return after George’s retirement. It was almost a single and there were promo copies floating around and it also was on "Best of Dark Horse 1976-1989". Also performed on George Harrison’s "Live in Japan" album and tour in 1991.
