Background


Harrison started writing the song in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1969.[1] Along with his friend, fellow guitarist Eric Clapton, Harrison was on a European tour at the time with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends.[2] Delaney Bramlett handed Harrison a bottleneck slide guitar, which he immediately began to play around with.[1] One of the first results of Harrison's discovery of this instrument was "Woman Don't You Cry For Me".[1] He later said that the title of the song might have been suggested by Bramlett.[1] The song almost went on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass, but instead appeared on Thirty Three & 1/3, released in 1976.[1] In May 1977, it also appeared as the B-side to the third single off the album in the UK, "It's What You Value".[3]

"Woman Don't You Cry for Me" is one of several bottleneck-inspired Harrison tunes from the period[4] − "Sue Me, Sue You Blues", "I Dig Love", "Māya Love" and "Hari's on Tour (Express)" being others. The song is in open E.[1]


Re-release


In November 2011, an early take of "Woman Don't You Cry for Me" was included on the deluxe edition CD for the British DVD release of the Martin Scorsese-directed documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World. This version is included on Early Takes: Volume 1.

«Woman Don’t You Cry for Me» — песня Джорджа Харрисона, вышедшая 19 ноября 1976 года как заглавный трек альбома Thirty Three & 1/3.[1] Харрисон написал песню в Гётеборге в 1968 году,[1] во время гастролей по Европе с Delaney, Bonnie & Friends и Эриком Клэптоном. «Woman Don’t You Cry for Me» стала одним из первых результатов экспериментов Харрисона со слайд-гитарой нового типа, принадлежавшей Делани Брамлетту.[1] Позднее, Харрисон вспоминал, что Делани возможно также предложил название песни.[1] По словам Харрисона, он хотел включить её на альбом 1970 года All Things Must Pass, но выйти в свет песне было суждено только в 1976 году, на альбоме Thirty Three & 1/3.[1]
