The first of four George Harrison songs for the White Album, and IMHO the best track on the whole album. Probably in my all-time Beatle Top 5. George had a tough time getting any songs on a group LP; until now, John and Paul never considered him an equal writing talent. Indeed, when they began work on this, George felt the others weren’t taking it all that seriously. That changed when Eric Clapton was called in by Harrison to play lead guitar (uncredited at the time), which caused everyone to be on their best behavior during these fractured sessions. The song came off magnificently. Apparently George Martin wasn’t present and the group produced themselves.
