If you like this, please check out Kevn Kinney's solo work. Kevn is the main man for Drivin' n Cryin'. His slide work and storytelling on his solo work is fantastic.

First: I like Harry Manx, since RP introduced me to him!

I like his voice, I like lots of songs and I like this guitar playing and
Indian influences!

Than I downloaded all his albums, at least 5 of them!
And listened to each and any song in detail!

It turned out that his songwriting is rather limited!
Many songs have the very same structure and feel!

This one here is one of the few differences!

Still - I like him a lot!

Cherio!  This reminded me of a Texan named Ray Wylie Hubbard.  He doesn't have the good mandolin but you might relate.

It's called, um, the blues. It's a genre you probably haven't heard of where fixed chord structures are used as a sort of canvas to be painted with one's own colors. This guy's colors are pretty damn well composed.

So let's get this straight Mr. life affirmative. Are you saying that Mr. Manx is not your cup of tea, or are you actually claiming musical authority on the subject of his tunes?  Could it be you're just having a bad day and feel like dumping a little.? Maybe you have some actual experience in the music industry to qualify this onslaught of negativity. I don't wish to deny you your indulgence, (welcome to it bro) nothing like a good rant, but remember, it all comes back to ya. Yer probably a slide player!  Love Shaktiboy

Fun fact: Harry Manx has only written one song. He changes the lyrics and title every so often to fill CDs up with "variety."

Well, then, we should insult your tastes. But I won't.

Personally, I really dig bluegrass, and agree with the characterization of this tune. It's like East meets West at a frenetic pace. Quite likeable.

The instrument in question is called a Mohan Veena, invented by the masterful VISHWA MOHAN BHATT in India. It is the mutant lovechild of a laptop guitar and a sitar - Harry Manx spent a few years in India studying with the inventor and plays it beautifully...


No kidding. I saw Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in Victoria a few weeks ago. When I was listening to this I had to come and check out who this was to see if there was any connection, because that noise in the background was resonating (no kidding) with me in a VMB way. Well I heard VMB do that trick a couple times throughout the concert and it stuck with me.

By the way, if anyone gets a chance to check out Vishwa, do so. I have never seen anyone play -any- instrument the way he plays the Mohan Veena.
