"I Don't Care Anymore" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side of the lead single from his 1974 album Dark Horse . The A-side was "Dark Horse" in the majority of countries internationally and "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" elsewhere, including the United Kingdom. It is one of Harrison's relatively rare compositions in the country music genre and, equally unusual among his 1970s releases, the recording is a solo performance.

Contents

Harrison wrote "I Don't Care Anymore" during a period of personal upheaval and extramarital affairs, coinciding with the end of his marriage to Pattie Boyd. The song is a love song, in which he express his desire for a woman who appears to be married. Harrison recorded the track in Los Angeles in October 1974, in a single take. His hoarse vocals reflect the onset of laryngitis as he rushed to complete Dark Horse while rehearsing for his North American tour with Ravi Shankar. Several commentators hold the song in low regard, finding the literal message in the title mirrored in Harrison's casual performance.

Along with "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell", "I Don't Care Anymore" was one of three non-album B-sides issued by the artist during the 1970s. Having been unavailable officially for 40 years after its initial release, the song was included as a bonus track on the 2014 Apple Years 1968–75 reissue of Dark Horse.

Background and composition

"I Don't Care Anymore" is one of the few George Harrison compositions released before 1980 that he does not discuss in his autobiography, I, Me, Mine . [1] Authors Ian Inglis and Dale Allison identify it as a song expressing lust for a married woman, [2] [3] written during a period when Harrison was romantically linked to, variously, Krissy Wood (wife of guitarist Ron Wood), [4] Maureen Starkey (ex-bandmate Ringo Starr's wife) [5] [6] and English model Kathy Simmons. [7] [8] When discussing another song from 1974, "Simply Shady", Harrison later referred to this time as "a bit of a bender", [9] while his marriage to Pattie Boyd finally fell apart. [7] [10]

According to Inglis, "I Don't Care Anymore" is an example of the "[musical] synthesis of jug band, skiffle, and country traditions" that Harrison had grasped via influences such as Bob Dylan, the Band, Lonnie Donegan, David Bromberg and the Lovin' Spoonful. [2] Author Bruce Spizer views the song as Dylan-influenced in its musical arrangement, like Harrison's 1973 B-side "Miss O'Dell", but describes the chord sequence as "pure Harrison". [1]

On the released recording, "I Don't Care Anymore" begins with Harrison speaking in a deep growl. [11] These opening words – "Two old cowpoke went riding out one cold December day" [2] – are a reference to Stan Jones's 1948 song "Riders in the Sky". [12] The casual nature of the performance is further reflected in Harrison's spoken introduction before the first verse: [13] "OK, here we go, fellas / We got a B-side to make, ladies and gentlemen …" [14]

In the verses, he states a willingness to "kick down anybody's door" in order to pursue his affair. [2] [3] Inglis notes a rare "wistfulness" in the lines "There's a line that I can draw / That often leaves me wanting more", which appear in the middle-eight. [2] Harrison's musical biographer, Simon Leng, considers that the song recalls the "teenage preoccupations" of Harrison's Beatles-era compositions "Don't Bother Me" and "I Need You", but he adds: "The difference is that this time there's a menacing undercurrent of aggression and just a hint of one drink too many." [11]

Recording

I had to come up with a B-side and I did it in one take. The story was in the attitude: I-don't-give-a-shit! [15]

– Harrison to Musician magazine, November 1987

In October 1974, shortly before leaving for Los Angeles to begin rehearsals for his North American tour with Ravi Shankar, Harrison recorded an interview with BBC Radio 1 DJ Alan Freeman in which he performed three new songs, along with a snippet of his All Things Must Pass track "Awaiting on You All". [16] [17] The final song Harrison played was "I Don't Care Anymore", [18] sung in a cleaner-sounding voice than the officially released version, and with lyrics amended to thank Freeman for his support over the years. [17] [19] This interview was broadcast on 6 December 1974 in Britain but delayed until September 1975 in America, where it was used to promote Harrison's 1975 album, Extra Texture . [16] [nb 1]

Speaking to Musician magazine in 1987, Harrison recalled that he recorded the song hurriedly for release as the B-side of his 1974 single, "Dark Horse", [15] which was also the name of his new record label. [21] Having overextended himself throughout the year on projects by his Dark Horse signings Shankar and the English group Splinter, [22] Harrison was forced to finish his own album, Dark Horse , in Los Angeles while rehearsing for the North American tour. [23] [24] The resulting strain on his voice, together with his overindulgence with drugs and alcohol, led to him contracting laryngitis. [25] [26] [nb 2] Following Harrison's reference to needing a B-side during the song's intro, Inglis finds a "sense of haste permeat[ing]" the recording of "I Don't Care Anymore", as if the singer was "hurry[ing] to meet a deadline". [2]

Leng describes Harrison's performance on guitar as "Dylanish upmarket busking" in the style of "Miss O'Dell". [11] In addition to playing 12-string acoustic guitar [13] and singing, Harrison overdubbed a part on jew's harp, [1] an instrument that was among his many contributions to Splinter's debut album, The Place I Love . [27] [28] Authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter view the song as an obvious "one-take affair", with Harrison's half-heartedness apparent in his "barely in-tune" guitar and the underlying message that "[recording] this B-side is a pain in the ass". [13] [nb 3]

Release and reception

Apple Records released the "Dark Horse" single on 18 November 1974 in the United States. [29] [nb 4] In Britain, "I Don't Care Anymore" was similarly the B-side to the album's lead single, issued on 6 December, [31] but with "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" as the A-side. [32] [33] Both of the lead sides also featured vocals by Harrison that were affected by his worsening throat problems in the build-up to the tour. [34] [35]

As a Harrison solo performance, "I Don't Care Anymore" shared common ground with the Dylan-styled "Apple Scruffs", [36] [37] a track from All Things Must Pass that was then issued as a 1971 B-side. [38] Asked at his pre-tour press conference on 23 October 1974 [39] whether he planned to perform any songs solo in the upcoming concerts, Harrison replied: "I hope not. I'd like to do some acoustic tunes, but I still like a little back-beat." [40] Harrison's vocal affliction was evident in his singing throughout the subsequent tour, [41] [42] which the press began calling "the Dark Hoarse Tour". [43] [44]

Describing the largely unfavourable critical reception towards the Dark Horse album, author Elliot Huntley writes that the title of "I Don't Care Anymore" appeared to be "a literal reflection of [Harrison's] attitude, circa 1974". [45] Bruce Spizer recalls of the song's release: "While the whole affair may have been intended as a joke, listeners were left with the impression that George really didn't care anymore." [1] In his 2001 feature on Harrison's Apple recordings, for Record Collector , Peter Doggett similarly remarked that, with many viewing "Ding Dong" as "a joke", the title of its B-side "seemed to say it all". [46]

In Simon Leng's opinion, "Whether intentionally or not, on 'I Don't Care Anymore', Harrison sounds in danger of coming off the dark racecourse completely", and he comments that, while the "growled gibberish" at the start of the track was designed to be comical, "the real gag was that it mirrored exactly what his voice would sound like on the Dark Horse Tour." [47] Like Leng, [11] AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine dismisses the song as a "throwaway". [48] Writing in Goldmine magazine in 2002, Dave Thompson considered "I Don't Care Anymore" to be "pleasant enough" among the songs from Harrison's Dark Horse period, few of which "could be compared to past triumphs". [49] More impressed, Doug Gallant of the Canadian newspaper The Guardian describes the track as a "little gem". [50]

In his book The Love There That's Sleeping, Dale Allison, a Christian Theologian, dismisses "I Don't Care Anymore" as "the nadir of George's musical corpus". He adds: "The lyrics, which wantonly defend an adulterous relationship, must be condemned, to borrow from 'Devil's Radio', as 'words that thoughtless speak.' This is not what we need to hear from anybody." [3]

Reissue

"I Don't Care Anymore" was not included on any Harrison album and was therefore long unavailable after its original release. [1] In 1999, the song became available unofficially, however, on the bootleg compilation Through Many Years, which also contained "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell", [51] [52] Harrison's other two non-album B-sides from the 1970s. [53]

Following the appearance of "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell" as bonus tracks on the 2006 Living in the Material World remaster, [54] "I Don't Care Anymore" remained the only one of Harrison's formally released recordings not to have been officially issued on compact disc. [17] [55] In September 2014, the song was included as a bonus track on the Apple Years 1968–75 reissue of Dark Horse, [48] [56] along with a sparse acoustic demo of "Dark Horse". [57] [58]

Personnel

Notes

  1. ↑ Harrison's live performance of "I Don't Care Anymore" subsequently appeared on the bootleg compilation A True Legend, released by Strawberry Records in 1999. [20]
  2. ↑ Discussing the period in a 1979 interview, Harrison recalled: "I could put back a bottle of brandy occasionally, plus all the other naughty things that fly around. I just went on a binge … until it got to the point where I had no voice and almost no body at times." [9]
  3. ↑ While also noting the "throwaway" nature of the recording, Spizer remarks that Harrison sounds drunk at the start of the track. [1]
  4. ↑ Like all his former Beatles bandmates, Harrison remained contracted to Apple and EMI as a recording artist until 26 January 1976. [30]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dark Horse Records</span> British record label

Dark Horse Records is a record label founded by former Beatle George Harrison in 1974. The label's formation coincided with the winding down of the Beatles' Apple Records and allowed Harrison to continue supporting other artists' projects while maintaining his solo career. The initial signings were Indian musician Ravi Shankar and Splinter, the latter of whom provided the label with its only significant commercial success until Harrison himself signed with Dark Horse in 1976. The label was distributed internationally by A&M Records for the first two years of its operation. Following a highly publicised split with A&M, Harrison and Dark Horse formed a long-term partnership with Warner Bros. Records that lasted until the expiration of his contract in 1994.

<i>Dark Horse</i> (George Harrison album) 1974 studio album by George Harrison

Dark Horse is the fifth studio album by English rock musician George Harrison. It was released on Apple Records in December 1974 as the follow-up to Living in the Material World. Although keenly anticipated on release, Dark Horse is associated with the controversial North American tour that Harrison staged with Indian classical musician Ravi Shankar in November and December that year. This was the first US tour by a member of the Beatles since 1966, and the public's nostalgia for the band, together with Harrison contracting laryngitis during rehearsals and choosing to feature Shankar so heavily in the programme, resulted in scathing concert reviews from some influential music critics.

<i>The Best of George Harrison</i> 1976 compilation album by George Harrison

The Best of George Harrison is a 1976 compilation album by English musician George Harrison, released following the expiration of his EMI-affiliated Apple Records contract. Uniquely among all of the four Beatles' solo releases, apart from posthumous compilations, it mixes a selection of the artist's songs recorded with the Beatles on one side, and later hits recorded under his own name on the other.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dark Horse (George Harrison song)</span> 1974 song by George Harrison

"Dark Horse" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison and the title track to his 1974 solo album on Apple Records. The song was the album's lead single in North America, becoming a top-20 hit in the United States, but it was Harrison's first single not to chart in Britain when issued there in February 1975. The term "dark horse" had long been applied to Harrison due to his unexpected emergence as the most accomplished solo artist of the four former Beatles following the band's break-up in 1970. In the song, however, he said he used the phrase in reference to gossip about someone who carries out clandestine sexual relationships. Commentators interpret the lyrics as a rebuttal to several possible detractors: Harrison's first wife, Pattie Boyd; reviewers who criticised the spiritual content of his 1973 album Living in the Material World; and his former bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Harrison named his Dark Horse record label after the song, and his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar came to be known as the Dark Horse Tour.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ding Dong, Ding Dong</span> 1974 single by George Harrison

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, written as a New Year's Eve singalong and released in December 1974 on his album Dark Horse. It was the album's lead single in Britain and some other European countries, and the second single, after "Dark Horse", in North America. A large-scale production, the song incorporates aspects of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique, particularly his Christmas recordings from 1963. In addition, some Harrison biographers view "Ding Dong" as an attempt to emulate the success of two glam rock anthems from the 1973–74 holiday season: "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade, and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday". The song became only a minor hit in Britain and the United States, although it was a top-twenty hit elsewhere in the world.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">You (George Harrison song)</span> 1975 single by George Harrison

"You" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1975 album Extra Texture . It was also the album's lead single, becoming a top 20 hit in America and reaching number 9 in Canada. A 45-second instrumental portion of the song, titled "A Bit More of You", appears on Extra Texture also, opening side two of the original LP format. Harrison wrote "You" in 1970 as a song for Ronnie Spector, formerly of the Ronettes, and wife of Harrison's All Things Must Pass co-producer Phil Spector. The composition reflects Harrison's admiration for 1960s American soul/R&B, particularly Motown.

"Far East Man" is a song written by English rock musicians George Harrison and Ronnie Wood, each of whom released a recording of the song in 1974. Wood's version appeared on I've Got My Own Album to Do, his debut solo album, and Harrison's on Dark Horse. Their only official songwriting collaboration, "Far East Man" is an affirmation of friendship in the face of life's obstacles and musically reflects the two guitarists' adoption of the soul genre. Written mostly by Harrison, the composition has been interpreted as a restatement of the humanitarian message expressed in his 1971 single "Bangla Desh", and a tribute to Indian musician Ravi Shankar.

"Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It was scheduled to be issued as a single in September that year, as the follow-up to "Give Me Love ", but the release was cancelled. Music critics have traditionally viewed "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" as a highlight of the Material World album, praising its pop qualities and production, with some considering the song worthy of hit status.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">World of Stone</span> 1975 song by George Harrison

"World of Stone" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on Extra Texture , his final album for Apple Records. It was also issued as the B-side of the album's lead single, "You". Harrison wrote the song in 1973 but recorded it two years later, following the unfavourable critical reception afforded his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar and the Dark Horse album. Due to its context on release, commentators view "World of Stone" as a plea from Harrison for tolerance from these detractors. According to some of his biographers, the lyrics reflect Harrison's doubts regarding his devotion to a spiritual path – an apparent crisis of faith that followed his often-unwelcome spiritual pronouncements during the tour, and which permeated his work throughout 1975.

"Sunshine Life for Me " is a song by English musician Ringo Starr from his 1973 album Ringo. It was written by George Harrison, Starr's former bandmate in the Beatles, and was one of several contributions Harrison made to Ringo. Recording for the song took place in Los Angeles in March 1973, with Richard Perry as producer. In addition to Starr and Harrison, the musicians on the track include Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko and Garth Hudson of the Band, and multi-instrumentalist David Bromberg.

"Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp " is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to Frank Crisp, a nineteenth-century lawyer and the original owner of Friar Park – the Victorian Gothic residence in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, that Harrison purchased in early 1970. Commentators have likened the song to a cinematic journey through the grand house and the grounds of the estate.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Run of the Mill (George Harrison song)</span> 1970 song by George Harrison

"Run of the Mill" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. Harrison wrote the song shortly after the Beatles' troubled Get Back sessions in early 1969, during a period when his growth as a songwriter had inadvertently contributed to the dysfunction within the Beatles' group dynamic. The lyrics reflect the toll that running their company Apple Corps had taken on relationships within the band, especially between Paul McCartney and the other three Beatles, as well as Harrison's dismay at John Lennon's emotional withdrawal from the band. Commentators recognise "Run of the Mill" as one of several Harrison compositions that provide an insight into events behind the Beatles' break-up, particularly the difficulties surrounding Apple.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Deep Blue (song)</span> 1971 single by George Harrison

"Deep Blue" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released as the B-side to his 1971 charity single "Bangla Desh". Harrison wrote the song in 1970, midway through the recording sessions for All Things Must Pass, and recorded it in Los Angeles the following year while organising the Concert for Bangladesh. The composition was inspired by the deteriorating condition of his mother, Louise, before she succumbed to cancer in July 1970, and by Harrison's feelings of helplessness as he visited her in hospital in the north of England. Given the subject matter, "Deep Blue" also served to convey the suffering endured by the millions of refugees from war-torn Bangladesh in 1971, as sickness and disease became widespread among their makeshift camps in northern India.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Miss O'Dell</span> 1973 single by George Harrison

"Miss O'Dell" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side of his 1973 hit single "Give Me Love ". Like Leon Russell's "Pisces Apple Lady", it was inspired by Chris O'Dell, a former Apple employee, and variously assistant and facilitator to musical acts such as the Beatles, Derek & the Dominos, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Santana. Harrison wrote the song in Los Angeles in April 1971 while waiting for O'Dell to pay him a visit at his rented home. As well as reflecting her failure to keep the appointment, the lyrics provide a light-hearted insight into the Los Angeles music scene and comment on the growing crisis in East Pakistan that led Harrison to stage the Concert for Bangladesh in August that year.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hari's on Tour (Express)</span> 1974 instrumental by George Harrison

"Hari's on Tour (Express)" is an instrumental by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1974 album Dark Horse. It was also the B-side of the album's second single – which was "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" in North America and most other territories, and "Dark Horse" in Britain and some European countries. Among Harrison's post-Beatles solo releases, the track is the first of only two genuine instrumentals he released from 1970 onwards – the other being the Grammy Award-winning "Marwa Blues", from his 2002 album Brainwashed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Māya Love</span> 1974 song by George Harrison

"Māya Love" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1974 album Dark Horse. The song originated as a slide guitar tune, to which Harrison later added lyrics relating to the illusory nature of love – maya being a Sanskrit term for "illusion", or "that which is not". Harrison's biographers consider the lyrical theme to be reflective of his failed marriage to Pattie Boyd, who left him for his friend Eric Clapton shortly before the words were written. Harrison recorded the song at his home, Friar Park, on the eve of his North American tour with Ravi Shankar, which took place in November and December 1974. The recording features Harrison's slide guitar extensively and contributions from four musicians who formed the nucleus of his tour band: Billy Preston, Tom Scott, Willie Weeks and Andy Newmark. Reviewers note the track as an example of its parent album's more diverse musical genres, namely funk and rhythm and blues, compared with the more traditional rock orientation of Harrison's earlier solo work.

"Can't Stop Thinking About You" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released in 1975 on his final album for Apple Records, Extra Texture . A love song in the style of a soul/R&B ballad, it was written by Harrison in December 1973, towards the end of his marriage to Pattie Boyd and while he was having an affair with Maureen Starkey, the wife of his former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr. Having first considered the song for his 1974 release Dark Horse, Harrison recorded "Can't Stop Thinking About You" in Los Angeles in May 1975 for his so-called "soul album", Extra Texture. Some authors view its inclusion on the latter release as an obvious attempt by Harrison to commercialise the album, in response to the harsh critical reception afforded Dark Horse and his 1974 North American tour.

"So Sad" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released on his 1974 album Dark Horse. Harrison originally recorded the song for his previous album, Living in the Material World, before giving it to Alvin Lee, the guitarist and singer with Ten Years After. Lee recorded it – as "So Sad " – with gospel singer Mylon LeFevre for their 1973 album On the Road to Freedom. The latter recording includes contributions from Harrison and marked the first of several collaborations between him and Lee.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Apple Scruffs (song)</span> 1971 single by George Harrison

"Apple Scruffs" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. He wrote it as a tribute to the die-hard Beatles fans known as Apple scruffs, who used to wait outside the Apple Corps building and other London locations for a glimpse of the band members. This tradition continued after the group's break-up in April 1970, as the scruffs were a regular presence outside the studios where Harrison recorded his album. The song was also issued on the album's second single, as the B-side to "What Is Life".

The Material World Charitable Foundation, also known as the Material World Foundation (MWF), is a charitable organisation founded by English musician George Harrison in April 1973. Its launch coincided with the release of Harrison's album Living in the Material World and came about in reaction to the taxation issues that had hindered his 1971–72 aid project for refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War. Harrison assigned his publishing royalties from nine of the eleven songs on Living in the Material World, including the hit single "Give Me Love ", to the foundation, in perpetuity.
