about

"...Might Just be the Strangest and Most Brilliant Album to Pass your Way in a Long Time."

“I think that the point of us being here is so that we can unify all the broken and conflicting bits of the universe through song, to attract the opposites, to drum up the primal musical forces and make them dance together in one healing ritual. If this is the case... then The Gospel According to Blind Uncle Harry might just be a sort of cosmic hymn sheet." Dave Franklin, Dancing About Architecture

"There is so much I loved about this album. The cocktail of emotions for one were incredible. It’s an album that is tender, warm, earnest, heartfelt and so clever and funny. Take for instance “D Chord Hammer Ditty” which was just genius. On top of that the instrumentations and vocals are glorious."

"There are so many other great songs that combine fantastic wordplay and creative music. ...As the album progresses the band just crushed. I rarely find music that can feel this emotional yet not overly heavy. The balancing act of humor along with the more familiar emotions you hear on records rarely sounds this good. Highly recommended." 4.5 Stars- Highly Recommended. Matt Jensen, Divide and Conquer Music Blog.

"Featuring strong bluegrass instrumentation coupled with vocal hooks and harmonies that will embed themselves within your subconscious for hours after a listen, this album does not disappoint." Woke Chimp

"Fans of upbeat bluegrass country music with a twist of anti-establishment, politically charged humour will love Blind Uncle Harry’s new album!" -Woke Chimp

"Addressing politically charged topics without reverence, the lyrical content of this album will assuredly appease the hardcore Blind Uncle Harry fans who revel in his poetic rebellion against mainstream expectation." Woke Chimp

"Harry's Wittiness is a Joy. He makes fun of pretty much everything mainstream American -- from the work ethic to all things conservative christian." Urbfash Music Blog

"Some call Blind Uncle Harry the 'king of the sing along', and the album has plenty of opportunities for you to sing til your quarantined neighbors bang at your door" -Urbfash Music Blog

"My favorite track on the album is Hillbilly Hippie Haiku Heaven. The song plays on the strings of classic Americana music, with the finesse of folk, country, blues, and rock." Urbfash Music Blog

"…the album's sexy bluegrass instrumentation, catchy vocals and sweet harmonies provide some musical mental relief to our nation's chaos." -Urbfash Music Blog

"Astonishing" -Skope Magazine

"This latest single [Song for Kori] comes off the back of his astonishing album ‘The Gospel according To Blind Uncle Harry’ from last year. One of my favourite soundtracks right now, this album consists of twelve tracks that ooze a sweet, soulful sound, all whilst making me ponder the nature of our constructed lives." Skope Magazine

"Blind Uncle Harry had me singing along with glee whilst contemplating the structures that surround me. For me, that is a match made in heaven." Skope Magazine

Harry "sure has a way with words on this clever, sometimes comical, and other times political record that all fans of Billy Bragg should familiarize themselves with." 8/10 -Take Effect Reviews

"Innovative, especially when it comes to creating upbeat melodic textures, at times reminiscent of indie-folk acts such as Bright Eyes or The Tallest Man on Earth" THE BANDCAMP DIARIES

"A Delightful Trip" -Beach Sloth Music Blog

lyrics

LONG LONESOME TUNE

OH GIRL, YOU ARE A VISION
AND I AM A MAN NOW ON A MISSION
SUBJECT TO POTENTIAL REVISION
IF THINGS DON'T GO WELL

BUT IF YOU WOULD JUST BE MY DARLIN'
IF I COULD JUST HEAR YOU CALLIN'
I THINK THAT I COULD SO EASILY BE FALLIN'
IN LOVE WITH YOU

YOU SAID LOOK AT THAT MAN ON THE TV
GOD HE IS HOT, HE IS THE MAN FOR ME
I THOUGHT IT WOULD THEN BE SOMEWHAT UNLIKELY
FOR YOU TO CHOOSE ME

SO I RODE OUT TO SEE YA
YOU SAID YOU HAD TO WASH YOUR HAIR, I BELIEVED YA
NOW YOU ACT LIKE YOU'VE GOT AMNESIA
WHEN I TOUCH YOU

NOW YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT MOON
AND I AM HERE, WAILIN' THIS LONG LONESOME TUNE
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE JUNE
OF 1993

OH GIRL IT PAINS ME TO SEE YOU IN SUCH SORROW
IF I COULD MAKE IT BETTER TOMORROW
I WOULD BEG STEAL OR BORROW
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK

IF I COULD JUST BE BELIEVIN'
THAT YOU ARE NOT NOW DECEIVIN'
IN MY MIND'S EYE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I COULD EVER BE SEEIN'
IS YOU (X3)
