I'd Have You Anytime performer George Harrison
The released recording of "I'd Have You Anytime" features a sparse musical arrangement, in what Leng terms the "minimalist" tradition of Dylan and the Band, similar to the treatment given to "Behind That Locked Door", "Run of the Mill" and "If Not for You". Harrison played acoustic guitar on the song, while Eric Clapton contributed an electric guitar part that author Bruce Spizer describes as "exquisite". Leng views Clapton's solos as "all but mimicking" Harrison's playing on the Beatles' "Something".As with several of the tracks on All Things Must Pass, the remaining musician credits have traditionally been the subject of some conjecture. After consulting German musician Klaus Voormann and orchestral arranger John Barham, Leng credits the rhythm section on "I'd Have You Anytime" as being Voormann (on bass) and Alan White (drums). According to Spizer also, the overdubbed vibraphone (often referred to as a xylophone) was played by either White or Barham, who had first collaborated with Harrison on the latter's Wonderwall Music film soundtrack (1968). While Leng and Spizer credit Barham with a string arrangement on "I'd Have You Anytime", American musician Bobby Whitlock writes in his 2010 autobiography that the sound was a harmonium, which he himself often played during sessions for the album. In Whitlock's recollection, the personnel supporting Harrison on the recording were the future line-up of Derek and the Dominos: Clapton, Carl Radle on bass, Jim Gordon on drums, and Whitlock on harmonium.Personnel
