Cloud 9, along with "All Things Must Pass", is one of George Harrison's best efforts. George was always in the shadow of Lennon/McCartney, but is a fine musician all his own (his slide work is unmatched). This is a very well-recorded album, and Jeff Lynne's production efforts are well noted. This also serves as the start of "The Traveling Wilbury's" efforts with Harrison, Lynne, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbinson. If you buy just one George Harrison album, get this one.
