Dark Horse George Harrison: The First Biography + Interviews

Dark Horse, written and narrated by Emmy-nominated actor-author Geoffrey Giuliano, offers a deeply reflective exploration of George Harrison, the most enigmatic of the Beatles. Beyond his fame as a member of one of the greatest musical groups in history, Harrison was a man on a spiritual quest that would shape not only his music but also his lasting legacy as a pioneer of world music. His exploration of Eastern sounds and philosophies revolutionized the Western music scene, introducing ideas and influences that have continued to resonate.

Through exclusive interviews and decades of meticulous research, Dark Horse traces Harrison's path from his early days in Liverpool to the dizzying heights of Beatlemania, capturing both the exuberance and the struggles of the band's meteoric rise. It delves into the emotional and professional turmoil of their painful breakup, revealing how Harrison navigated the disintegration of the Beatles while forging his path. His groundbreaking solo career, with works such as All Things Must Pass, is explored in depth, showcasing his evolution as an artist no longer defined by the Beatles' shadow but by his own unique vision.

One of the core themes of Dark Horse is Harrison's profound faith in Krishna Consciousness, which permeated his life and art. His spiritual beliefs were not just a personal journey but also a driving force behind his music, and Giuliano carefully examines how this faith inspired Harrison to seek deeper meaning in his work, connecting with audiences on a level that transcended conventional pop music. Harrison's efforts to unite cultures through music are also a focus of the audiobook, as his collaboration with Indian musicians and his advocacy for understanding played a significant role in breaking down cultural barriers.

Though his life was tragically cut short by lung cancer in 2001, Harrison’s influence continues.
