New Harry Manx CD to be released on Stony Plain Records May 24th

Stony Plain Records announces a May 24th release date for the new collaboration from guitar masters Harry Manx and Kevin Breit, Strictly Whatever. The pair’s third album together, Strictly Whatever is the pair’s second CD for Stony Plain and follows the critically-acclaimed In Good We Trust (released in April of 2007).

A Harry Manx and Kevin Breit CD is always full of eclectic musical delights, and for Strictly Whatever each brought a number of different original songs to the table, plus unique covers of Bobby Hebb’s classic tune Sunny, and the John Lee Hooker chestnut, Mr. Lucky.

Harry plays mostly baritone guitar, which adds a good bass-end to the tunes. He also plays kick drum and snare with his feet while playing the guitar, as well as the Mohan Veena, banjo, and lap acoustic guitar; Kevin played just about everything else.
