"Sue Me, Sue You Blues" is a song written by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. Harrison initially let American guitarist Jesse Ed Davis record it for the latter's Ululu album (1972), in gratitude to Davis for his participation in the Concert for Bangladesh. When writing the song, Harrison drew inspiration from the legal issues surrounding the Beatles during the early months of 1971, particularly the lawsuit that Paul McCartney initiated in an effort to dissolve the band's business partnership, Apple Corps.

  • «Sue Me, Sue You Blues» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison, publicada en el álbum de estudio Living in the Material World (1973). Antes de grabarla, cedió la canción al guitarrista estadounidense Jesse Ed Davis para que hiciera una versión en su álbum Ululu (1972), tras participar en The Concert for Bangladesh. Harrison se inspiró para componer la canción en los pleitos iniciados por Paul McCartney en su esfuerzo por disolver la asociación Apple Corps tras la separación de The Beatles en 1970. La canción incluye un extenso uso de la guitarra al estilo de un dobro, así como la contribución de Gary Wright, Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann y Jim Keltner. Algunos críticos musicales compararon la canción con el tema de John Lennon «How Do You Sleep?»: al respecto, la revista Rolling Stone describió el tema como una «inteligente diatriba lennonista».​ Harrison interpretó «Sue Me, Sue You Blues» con frecuencia durante su gira norteamericana de 1974, con arreglos cercanos al funk que incluyeron la participación de Willie Weeks, y Tom Scott. Durante la gira, Harrison modificó la letra para reflejar su disgusto con el antiguo representante del grupo, Allen Klein. Una versión demo de la canción fue incluida en la reedición de Living in the Material World en 2006. (es)

Au départ la chanson fut donnée en cadeau au guitariste américain (en) (ancien guitariste de Taj Mahal) pour le remercier de sa participation au Concert for Bangladesh. Aujourd'hui, les critiques la comparent avec How Do You Sleep? de John Lennon. (fr)

When writing the song, Harrison drew inspiration from the legal issues surrounding the Beatles during the early months of 1971, particularly the lawsuit that Paul McCartney initiated in an effort to dissolve the band's business partnership, Apple Corps. The inclusion of "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" on Material World marked a rare example of a secular composition on Harrison's most spiritually oriented album. Recorded at the Beatles' Apple Studio in London, the track features his extensive use of the Dobro-style resonator guitar, as well as musical contributions from Gary Wright, Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann and Jim Keltner. The song's musical mood and lyric recall aspects of old English square dance, a quality that some writers identify as mirroring the changing of sides amid the lawsuits relating to the Beatles' break-up. Some critics have compared the track with John Lennon's "How Do You Sleep?"; Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone magazine described it as a "clever Lennonist diatribe". Harrison performed "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" throughout his 1974 North American tour, utilising a funk-inspired arrangement that featured musicians Willie Weeks, Andy Newmark and Tom Scott. For these performances, Harrison modified the lyrics to reflect the former Beatles uniting against manager Allen Klein. The song's title was a phrase that Harrison and commentators adopted when referring to Beatles-related legal issues during the 1970s. A film clip containing Harrison's 1971 demo of "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" appeared on the DVD accompanying the 2006 remaster of Living in the Material World. (en)
  • Sue Me, Sue You Blues è un brano musicale del cantautore britannico George Harrison incluso nel suo album Living in the Material World del 1973. Inizialmente Harrison diede il brano al chitarrista per il suo album Ululu del 1972, come ringraziamento per la sua partecipazione al The Concert for Bangladesh. Davis pubblicò la propria versione del brano su singolo nel gennaio '72, senza particolari riscontri. Componendo la canzone, Harrison trasse ispirazione dalle vicende giudiziarie che afflissero i Beatles durante i primi mesi del 1971, in particolare facendo riferimento alla causa intentata da Paul McCartney agli altri tre compagni per sciogliere la "società Beatles". L'inclusione di Sue Me, Sue You Blues in Material World segnò una rara eccezione nell'opera, essendo un brano che si distacca dalle tematiche religiose o spirituali. Registrata presso gli Apple Studios di Londra, la traccia contiene un esteso impiego della chitarra resofonica, e il contributo musicale di , Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann e Jim Keltner. L'atmosfera e il testo della canzone rimandano alla tradizione delle antiche contraddanze (quadriglie) inglesi, una qualità che molti commentatori identificarono rispecchiare i "cambi di campo" delle varie fazioni durante le cause legali relative alla separazione dei Beatles. Alcuni critici musicali paragonarono il pezzo alla canzone How Do You Sleep? di John Lennon. Harrison eseguì Sue Me, Sue You Blues durante il suo Dark Horse Tour del 1974, utilizzando un arrangiamento funk ispirato ai membri della sua backing band di allora Willie Weeks, e Tom Scott. In occasione di queste esibizioni, Harrison modificò il testo del brano per citare l'ex manager Allen Klein. Il titolo del brano era una frase che Harrison e amici avevano iniziato scherzosamente ad utilizzare riferendosi ai problemi legali relativi ai Beatles negli anni settanta. (it)

  • There were other delays for Harrison [before he could commit to touring after the Concert for Bangladesh]: the fuss over the profits from the Bangladesh benefit and album; the McCartney-sue-me, we sue Allen Klein blues … (en)
  • Around that time we had millions of suits flying here, flying there, George wrote the "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" about it. I'd kicked it all off originally, having to sue the other three Beatles in the High Court, and that opened Pandora's box. After that everybody just seemed to be suing everybody. (en)
