Driving along one Sunday several years ago mindlessly listening to the radio when halfway thru the playing of one of Manx's songs it occurred to me that this was something unlike anything I'd heard before. It was from his 1st album/CD "Dog My Cat". I thoroughly enjoyed his music, admittedly some songs more than others....but mostly because it was unabashedly new and expanded my musical world. It is bluesy, folksy....but in a new way. EVERYONE I've exposed to Manx has likewise liked his work. I now own everything except his just released CD (and that's coming). The advantage to this CD, Road Ragas, is that you get to hear much of what's on his 1st 2, ie Dog My Cat and Wise & Otherwise. The clean purity and clarity of his recordings give a real closeness. Highly recommended. For further exposure go to www.harrymanx.com for full length samples of his albums.

The warmth and slight edge in Harry's voice give it a perfect "coffee house poet" sound; however, when blended with his love of the blues and Indian musical overtones, something unique is born: almost folksy, almost raga.
Mellow? Yes, but with a tunefulness and a lyrical depth that makes listening a truly moving experience. His songs are often poignant, and you can easily sense the long road he has travelled in his musical journey. Anyone familiar with the work of John Martyn will appreciate this genre, but Harry takes it somewhere different, somewhere special. Excellent.
