From the publisher's website (www link as at 25 March 2024):

How did the most reluctant member of the Fab Four put his mark on all of their music? This book helps listeners hear how George Harrison shaped the sound of The Beatles and how he carried that sound forward into his solo career.

Within You Without You is a highly personal exploration of George Harrison's essential contributions to the Beatles and his solo work, as well as his significant role as a Western proponent of Indian music and beliefs. Through close examination of his guitar playing in the Fab Four and his songwriting both in and out of the Beatles, author Seth Rogovoy demystifies the enigma of this most reluctant of rock stars.

Drawing upon the insights of the author - a rock critic and historian of over forty years standing - as well as those of expert observers including Beatles filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg and English rock singer-songwriters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding, among others, this book extensively examines George Harrison's contributions to the musical world. Within You Without You will forever change the way readers hear the music of the Beatles and view Harrison's role in the group, as well as enhancing appreciation of Harrison as a cultural figure above and beyond his work as a musician.

Comments and Reviews


JPGR&B SUBS ● 25th Mar 2024		Early blurb: A critical reappraisal, giving Harrison his due as a musician, composer, and human being, revealing the crucial contributions he made to the Beatles’ sound and their songbook, his remarkable solo career, and the depth of his influence on popular and world music. Seth Rogovoy plans to incorporate the views of dozens if not hundreds of musicians and cultural figures who crossed paths with or were influenced by Harrison in the book, which will explore Harrison’s life and career primarily through his songs and the stories behind them.



JPGR&B SUBS ● 3rd Jan 2024		From Facebook, Tuesday 2 Janbuary 2023, Seth Rogovoy wrote: I am happy to be able to announce that the publication date of my book, "Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison," will be October 1, 2024. More news to follow....



JPGR&B SUBS ● 16th Nov 2023		The author originally announced that this book would be published by Oxford University Press in Autumn 2023. However, there is currently no further information about the publication date for the book, and nothing features on the Oxford University Press website about the author or the book. I'm therefore changing the publication date from October 2023 to 2024.



JPGR&B SUBS ● 16th Nov 2021		For more about this forthcoming book see Seth Rogovoy to Write George Harrison Book from 15 June 2021. See also Facebook.
