At the end of 1974, George Harrison returned to California to record his next album, the soul-inflected Extra Texture (Read All About It). Leon Russell played piano on Tired of Midnight Blue, and for some sessions, Harrison was joined by guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, as well as Jim Keltner, Paul Stallworth, and David Foster, members of the new group Attitudes, which was later signed to George’s brand-new label, Dark Horse.
