“Blind Uncle Harry is as real as it gets and a whole lot more people need to hear these songs. Think music can’t change the world? Think again." -INDIE BAND GURU
"10 out of 10: Here is a master at work. Undoubtedly one of the best songwriters in the current indie market." -EXCESS MAGAZINE Review of Visualize Industrial Collapse
"...if you’re not hip to Harry yet, Visualize Industrial Collapse just might blow you away.” -INDIE BAND GURU
"Imagine a 21st Century Woody Guthrie with an even bigger ax to grind and you’ll start to understand what’s going on here. He’s a more dangerous Bob Dylan equally comfy with satire and bleakness." -INDIE BAND GURU
"stunning tracks... totally unique... riveting… Blind Uncle Harry will enthrall music lovers with his new album" -JUST FAME REVIEW
“this is the sound of hope after the exploitation of humanity has stopped” -BEACH SLOTH REVIEW

“a maestro of compelling introspective thought and witty themes” -WARLOCK ASYLUM REVIEW
“…songs that are so fun, wonderfully raggedy, satirical, and occasionally silly that you can’t help but side with these stoner anthems and his gentle rabble-rousing and middle-finger attitudes towards the powers that be.” -DAVE FRANKLIN, DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE REVIEW
“Visualize Industrial Collapse is the work of an outsider artist with a chip on his shoulder, a guitar in his hand, and the truth on his mind.” -INDIE BAND GURU
“Harry serves-up tales of corporate greed, lost souls and societal decline in his own unique coffeehouse meets college-rock style.” Former Billboard Magazine Columnist BOB SMITH, writing for STATIC DIVE
“a master of satire” -EXCESS MAGAZINE
“Known widely for his daring inventiveness and melodic charms, …Blind Uncle Harry continues to impress music lovers with his originality. Visualize Industrial Collapse is a winner!” -WARLOCK ASYLUM REVIEW
“Harry gives listeners a huge blast of his iconoclastic avant/Americana/conspiracy/folk brilliance on his new album Visualize Industrial Collapse.” -INDIE BAND GURU
lyrics
JESUS IS COMIN’ IN A RAT TURD
There was this one night, I got really stoned
Thought it’d be good idea, go to my local bar
Get to know the locals, get to know the locals
Thought it’d be a good idea to get to know the locals
There was this one guy, he was from Kentucky
He seemed pretty interesting, he started talking, talking about Jesus
He said that Jesus, that Jesus is comin’/ Jesus is comin’
He’s comin’ in the rapture, Jesus is comin’, he’s comin’ in the rapture Jesus is comin’ in the rapture
But that’s not what I heard, he had a really thick hillbilly accent
Couldn’t hardly understand a fuckin’ word he said
This is what I heard, I swear to god this is what he said
It sounded like this: Jesus comin’ in a rat turd!
I said oh my goodness that’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
I never ever thought it could be so incredible, that Jesus is so humble
Jesus is so beautiful, Jesus is in everything, every living thing
He’s even in a rat turd, Jesus is comin’, he’s comin’ in a rat turd (repeated a lot)
That’s when I realized, that’s not what he said
He got so angry, so very very angry
His mouth was foamin', his face was all red
His neck was already red cuz he was a redneck from Kentucky
He pulled out a gun, put it against my head
I thought I was gonna have to go up to heaven and explain to Jesus How I was talkin’ shit, sayin’ he’s comin’, sayin’ he’s comin’
He’s comin’ in a rat turd, Jesus is comin’, he’s comin’ in a rat turd
I’d say Jesus you’re so humble, Jesus you’re so beautiful
Jesus you're in everything, every living thing
You’re even in a rat turd, Jesus is comin’,
He’s comin’ in a rat turd (repeated a lot)
Chill the fuck out dude you’re Jesus Christ
Jesus is comin’, He’s comin’ in a rat turd (repeated a lot)
Jesus is comin’ in a rat turd
