Many of you have never heard of Harry Manx and for those who download these albums, you are in for a special treat. Manx is one of the best and most interesting artists you will ever hear. It took Jim in California to tell me about Manx, who was born in the Isle of Wight but now resides in Saltspring Island, near Vancouver BC, Canada; wherever Canada is. Somewhere around Finland, I think.
Besides being a singer/songwriter, Manx melds the genres of folk, blues, and Hindustani classic
music playing the slide guitar, six-string banjo, harmonica, Ellis stomp box, and mohan veena. There might be the kitchen sink in there somewhere as well. Of course, you have heard of the Ellis stompbox so I won't explain it. His guitar playing is impeccable and his song stylings are unique. I am presenting his albums in no particular order.
