Isle of Manx
DMCR 00633-NA |
|
| After releasing nine albums in nine years, it was high time for a “Best Of” CD. Featuring Harry on the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, acoustic slide guitar, lap steel, and banjo, this essential “desert island” collection contains fifteen tunes (thirteen original songs and two cover tunes) that represent the evolution of a highly unique musical style that fuses Eastern sounds, Western blues and acoustic folk. |

Bread and Buddha
DMCR 00513 – CA |
|
| Featuring killer slide guitar, Mohan Veena and piano, Harry’s ninth album is a timely reflection on the ephemeral nature of human existence.
An intrepid traveler from the very beginning, Harry Manx’s ninth album is a culmination of thirty-five years of world exploration. “Bread and Buddha” is one man’s musical meditation on the ephemeral nature of the human experience. The songs inhabit “a rare musical place where blues, country, folk and Indian classical music co-exist as some spirit force”.
Harry has pulled out all the stops with the instrumentation on this outing, including ample use of piano, organ, and scored strings along with drums and bass. This gives the songs a lushness and maturity, much like a well-seasoned wine. Two years in the making, the album is self produced with help from Juno-award winning engineer John “Beetle” Bailey.
Come explore the new world geography as interpreted by Harry Manx …

Harry Manx and Friends” Live at the Glenn Gould Studio
DMCR 006 |
|
| Harry Manx has been putting his own personal spin on the blues for some time now, serving up his distinctive and hypnotic brew of Eastern and Western sounds to audiences worldwide. Combining the sensuality of traditional blues with transcendent Eastern sounds has become his trademark. In March 2007, CBC Producer Todd Fraracci concocted a bewitching blend of musicians for a special concert event entitled “Heaven and Earth – Harry Manx and Friends” at the Glenn Gould Studio to further explore this delicate balance. Matching the eclectic influences on Harry’s music, he is joined here by a dazzling array of musicians that perfectly complement his style, allowing the music to successfully venture all over the world map and highlighting his Indian influences. Previously recorded material is presented with added dimensions, producing new revelations that occur with each listen. |

In Good We Trust
SPCD 1320 |
|
| Harry Manx & Kevin Breit’s brand new collaboration by two of the best guitar players on the planet. Debuting on the Stony Plain label, the pair has created a collection of 11 songs that offer sensuality, dark blues, playful humour and instrumental virtuosity. Each of the musical partners wrote four songs, one co-write and cover Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” and a dark traditional ballad “Death Have Mercy.” Manx handles the vocals, Breit contributes backups. No massive instrumentation, no supporting players, no studio trickery. Trust in good is well placed. And this CD is proof. |
