"Dark Horse" by George Harrison – **

First released: 1974

Poor George. He finally decided to tour for the first time since leaving The Beatles, but wore out his voice rehearsing. He then went ahead and released this album with a very hoarse voice. I always held out that George would possibly go back and re-record cleaner vocals and reissue this the way it should have been, but his death in 2001 ended those hopes. Even if the vocals were re-recorded, the songs aren’t much on the album save for the title track. A very disappointing release especially in light of the fact that all of George’s cohorts were releasing quality albums at this time. The CD version came out in 1991.
