ROAD RAGAS – HARRY MANX LIVE (2004, Dog My Cat Records)
An inspiring journey from around the world, this collection condenses more than 100 hours of music recorded at shows in Canada, Europe and Australia. Includes tunes from his early albums (Dog My Cat, Wise and Otherwise, Jubilee, West Eats Meet), as well as unreleased material, this “concert program” satisfies the best of both Manx’s rich recording history and the foot-stomping memory of the live show. In his uniquely signature style, Manx combines songs that are steeped in traditional blues (Spoonful, Sitting on Top of the World) with beyond-categorization originals that move between a blues foundation and Indian raga-induced world fusion flavour. The result is an album that delivers solidly to both blues fans and discerning folk/roots listeners.
Recorded Live at the Basement, Sydney, Australia in 2003
