Harry Manx - Raga/blues (3 videos)

I wrote this about Harry Manx a few years ago--and he put it on his Facebook page (which I thought was very cool):

"If you spliced Jackson Browne and James Taylor together and did a blood transfusion with Ganges River water, you’d create Harry Manx. "

And then I followed it with this regarding his 2002 release of Wise and Otherwise:
" Playing a unique 20-string Indian guitar called a Mohan Veena (in honor of its creator), lap slide guitar, and harmonica, Harry plays flawless, exotic ballads that stretch across the Asian continent from Japan to Bombay.
If that’s not rich enough, there’s some Muddy Waters blues (“Can’t Be Satisfied”; “Baby Please Don’t Go”), some Jimmy Reed (“Shame Shame Shame”), and unless you’re stone-cold comatose, a version of “Foxy Lady” that ought to be dedicated to Halle Berry. Jimi would be thrilled and chilled at the idea—and opportunity."
