It contains jazz interpretations of ten songs written by the former Beatle George Harrison, who died in November 2001, together with a version of the gospel standard "In My Father's House".

He adds of George Harrison's songs: "They combine aching beauty and biting wit, spiritual longing and earthy humor, simple modal vamps and sophisticated harmony, mystical ballads and bashing beats.

[4] Although mostly instrumental pieces, the tracks include vocals by Harrison and, on "All Things Must Pass", a guest appearance by singer Jen Chapin.

While praising the musicianship throughout, Carlson rued the inclusion of vocals on selections such as "The Art of Dying" and "My Sweet Lord", which he otherwise considered to be a "wonderfully sparse, steel-guitar rendition”.

Collar admires Harrison's reading of "Within You Without You", for "expanding the raga-psych elements of the original into a post-bop wilderness of angular improvisation", and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", for its musical journey "from a woozily funky Indian beat on the main verse, to a drunken soft-rock bridge that sounds something like guitarist Adrian Belew covering Burt Bacharach".
