George Harrison - The Dark Horse Years - 1976 To 1992 (DVD)

Dark horse or dark hoarse

Advantages: Tracks 1, 3, 6 and (with reservations) 7
Disadvantages: Tracks 4 and 9

was omitted from the compilation 'Best Of George Harrison' (1976), I'll never know. On the autobiographical title track, George declares he was the 'dark horse, running on a dark race course'. Musically this is another high point, with a subtly funky tempo, and flutes adding a faintly Eastern flavour. Unfortunately, it's almost 'Dark Hoarse'.

Review of George Harrison

Nickelback-Dark Horse

Advantages: Some amazing tracks
Disadvantages: a couple of weak spots

Nickelback:Dark Horse I recently aquired a few CDs off my cousin and this was in the pile, I love Nickleback's music its always been quite...relaxing in a way. Chad Kroeger (Lead Vocals and Guitars), Ryan Peake (Guitars and Backing Vocals), Mike Kroeger (bass guitar), and Daniel Adair (Thank you Autarkis) The Band are promoting this album by touring this year..im not sure if it is just around the states or what but they are starting in New York Something In Your Mouth **** This is a great track with some good guitarring in it, The beat is interesting and the vocals are superb, Not my favourite track off the album though. This track also has a great bass line which goes well with the vocals. Burn It To The Ground ***** This is a brilliant track with a tremendous Beat and bass line, when I said That ...
