The story behind
George Harrison wrote Let It Down for his album All Things Must Pass, released in November 1970. It was one of those songs that didn't make it into the Beatles, but now appeared on his first solo work. He recorded it with Phil Spector, who gave it that heavy, rich sound that is noticeable in every note. The song has a hard rock rhythm, and lasts almost five minutes. In 2001, an acoustic version was released as a bonus on the album's reissue. It is a piece that shows how Harrison was developing as an artist, outside the context of the Beatles.
