Maybe out of respect to the dead, Jeff Lynne doesn't overproduce this posthumous release by the deceased Beatle. There's a sort of loose, low- key quality to these songs that lends a bit of mellowness and charm that I wouldn't expect in a Lynne production. Maybe George's son Dhani had something to do with that.
