Living In The Material World

George Harrison's 1973 masterpiece arrived as a spiritual meditation wrapped in commercial triumph. Recorded with a stellar ensemble including drummer Jim Keltner and collaborators from his landmark Concert for Bangladesh, the album balanced introspective songwriting with polished production. The lead single "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" ascended to number one globally, as did the album itself. Rolling Stone praised its transcendent quality, while the Bhagavad-Gita imagery adorning the sleeve underscored Harrison's deepening philosophical inquiry—a thematic anchor that would define his solo career.
