So that's what it is - thanks for the info. It does have a very distinct sound, and the glissandi fair run down my spine and generate goose pimples. 8 from the spooked Nottingham jury.

Top of The world seems to be a nice place where to hang out with such company - Isle of Manx, place of space

Very cool version. Is that a sitar? I always thought this was written for Howlin' Wolf, say by Willie Dixon...

I've liked this guy every time I've heard him—-I was brought up by an amateur ethnomusicologist and like when I hear anything with a sitar. (Well, not anything...)

The Harry Manx website confirms The Heavenly Lights sang backup for the original album.

Interesting rendition of this staple.  Like the album cover art.  Wonder what other tunes are in his "desert island" collection, and if they're shot through with the same country-fried, banjo-picking treatment.  Reserve rating for a few more listenings, but this has promise.

Is that the Blind Boys behind him? Or maybe the Fairfield Four? I'm going with FF.
