Dark Horse (George Harrison album)
Dark Horse is the fourth studio album by George Harrison, released on Apple Records in December 1974 as the follow-up to Living in the Material World. Although keenly anticipated on release, Dark Horse is synonymous with the well-attended, yet ultimately infamous North American tour carried out in support of the album − the first US tour by a member of The Beatles since August 1966, but a venture that would turn out to be Harrison's only set of performances there as a solo artist.
The album features an array of guest musicians, including Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Ringo Starr, Nicky Hopkins, Gary Wright, Willie Weeks, Ron Wood and Jim Keltner, and spawned two hit singles, in "Dark Horse" and "Ding Dong, Ding Dong". It showed Harrison moving towards the funk musical genre, although the album was not well received by critics at the time. Dark Horse has yet to be remastered since its original release on CD format in 1992.

Famous quotes containing the word harrison:
“The admission of the States of Wyoming and Idaho to the Union are events full of interest and congratulation, not only to the people of those States now happily endowed with a full participation in our privileges and responsibilities, but to all our people. Another belt of States stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
