Blind Uncle Harry - The Gospel According to Blind Uncle Harry (2020)

Hailing from Bloomington Indiana, Blind Uncle Harry's Americana/ alt country album The Gospel According to Blind Uncle Harry features superb bluegrass instrumentation, catchy vocal hooks and harmonies while expanding the radical wit and lyrical expression Harry is known for. Politically charged yet still irreverent, the album manages to make fun of pretty much everything mainstream American from the work ethic to all things conservative christian. Yet it still manages to be laugh out loud funny, especially Hillbilly Hippie Haiku Heaven, D Chord Hammer Ditty, Uh Oh (Sounds Like Somebody Pissed Off Jesus), Indiana, and It's All Fucked.

For good reason Harry is known as the "king of the sing along", and the album does not disappoint, with live show sing along favorites Cry Me a Rainbow, Song for the Revolution, and Savannah Kentuckiana included. And of course it wouldn't be Blind Uncle Harry without a healthy dose of twisted love gone wrong songs (Emma Lynn, Long Lonesome Tune, Strip Mining My Heart, Sunny Afternoon) that only he could come up with. The album features instrumentation by Blind Uncle Harry regulars The Wonderhills, but it’s the gorgeous harmonies of Harry, Shelby Jo Everett, and Alexandra Burgan will be what you remember. It was primarily recorded at Tecumseh Hose studios in Harry's 130 year old house, with mixing and mastering at Bloomington's Blockhouse Studios with the superb Andy Beargie.
