"Womack and Kruppa present a thorough history of Harrison and Clapton's songmaking and recording sessions." - Booklist

Newly revised and expanded, this paperback edition features exclusive material from the Malcolm Frederick Evans archives and draws on rare material released by the Harrison Estate. A new appendix includes a detailed sessionography and personnel listings for All Things Must Pass, assembled from recently discovered documentation.

George Harrison and Eric Clapton embarked upon a singular personal and creative friendship that impacted rock's unfolding future in resounding and far-reaching ways. All Things Must Pass Away: Harrison, Clapton, and Other Assorted Love Songs traces the emergence of their relationship from 1968 through the early 1970s and the making of their career-defining albums, both released in November 1970.

Authors Womack and Kruppa devote close attention to the climax of Harrison and Clapton's shared musicianshipโ€”the creation of All Things Must Pass, Harrison's powerful emancipatory statement in the wake of the Beatles, and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, Clapton's impassioned reimagining of his art via Derek and the Dominos. These two records advanced rock 'n' roll from a windswept 1960s idealism into the wild and expansive new reality of the 1970s.

All Things Must Pass Away reveals the foundations of Harrison and Clapton's friendship, focusing on the ways their encouragement and support of each other drove them to produce works that would cast long shadows over the evolving world of rock music.
