Dark Horse [LP]

Personnel: George Harrison (vocals, guitars), Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, Mick Jones, Alvin Lee, Ron Wood (guitars), Tom Scott (horns, flute), Jim Horn, Chuck Findley (flute), Roger Kellaway, Nicky Hopkins, Gary Wright (piano), Billy Preston (electric piano), Gub Gubi (Moog), Max Bennett, Willie Weeks, Klaus Voorman (bass), John Guerin, Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner, Andy Newmark (drums), Lon and Derek Van Eaton (background vocals).
All songs written by George Harrison except "Bye Bye Love" (Felice & Boudleaux Bryant) and "Far East Man" (Harrison/Ron Wood).
Rushed through in the preparations for Harrison's first (and last) North American tour, his third solo album found him with a strained throat and not enough first-rate material. Most embarrassing was a rewrite of "Bye Bye Love" in which he commented on the romantic triangle between himself, his wife, and his best friend, Eric Clapton (who later married her). The title track and "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" were Top 40 hits. ~ William Ruhlmann
