The Beatles Channel Celebrates George Harrison's 'Living in the Material World' 50th Anniversary
The Beatles Channel on SiriusXM will commemorate the 50th anniversary of George Harrison's acclaimed album, "Living in the Material World," with a special program hosted by Beatles expert Bruce Spizer.
The program, which will air on Friday, November 25th at 8:00 pm ET, will feature interviews with Harrison's friends and collaborators, including musician Klaus Voormann and author Gary Tillery.
Harrison's "Living in the Material World" was released on November 30, 1973, and was his first solo album after the breakup of the Beatles. The album was a commercial success, reaching number one in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The album's title track, "Living in the Material World," was a hit single, and has been praised for its spiritual and philosophical lyrics. Harrison wrote the song as a response to the materialism and consumerism of the 1970s.
The Beatles Channel's special program on "Living in the Material World" will explore the album's genesis, recording, and reception. Spizer will also discuss Harrison's personal life and spiritual journey during this period.
The program is part of the Beatles Channel's ongoing celebration of Harrison's life and work. The channel has previously aired special programs on Harrison's other solo albums, including "All Things Must Pass" and "Cloud Nine."
