Harry Manx (born 1955) is a Canadian musician who blends blues, folk music, and Hindustani classical music. His official website describes his music as being a "blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you'll get Manx's unique "mysticssippi" flavour." Manx plays the slide guitar, harmonica, six-string banjo, mohan veena and Ellis stomp box. He studied for five years in India with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed mohan veena, which has become Manx's signature instrument.
He has released twelve albums in twelve years, and has his own record label Dog My Cats Records.
He has received much recognition and many awards, including: seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Music Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist, and CBC Radio’s "Great Canadian Blues Award" in 2007.
Manx was a nominee in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for his cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire".
Manx is a longtime collaborator with Canadian guitarist Kevin Breit and Australian keyboardist Clayton Doley.

I am german and I approve this translation.
So it's a good thing I kinda like this sound.
I quickly glanced over your comment and briefly thought it said "Best in short dresses."
Yikes!
If you can work it, work it.

By that, you mean they all sound great, correct? Just saw the man live with a string quartet, it was transcendental.

I accidentally downvoted while attempting to translate. Welcome from Deutschland.
Haha, that's funny, to me, Mungo Jerry is the one doing it very casually!
This one sounds like a lot more work was put into it. It's a completely different take and I like it :)
