about

“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

“picture a world without racism, hate and war. Harry takes this perspective one step further, though, by expanding this simple slogan to include an ending to the whole capitalistic economic system" -CURIOUS FOR MUSIC

“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

MY DADDY DIED WHEN I WAS NINE YEARS OLD
My daddy died when I was nine years old
I cried at his funeral
Hawk appeared in the window
My daddy died when I was nine years old

Here in the darkening sky
As we sit by the riverside
Feel the herons flying by
Here in the darkening sky

I cannot stay this night
I must leave before first light
Before I do please save my life
I cannot stay this night

My daddy died when I was nine years old
I cried at his funeral
Hawk appeared in the window
My daddy died when I was nine years old
