So who or what is a Manx Marriner Mainline?<\/p>\n
Harry Manx and Steve Marriner are multi-instrumentals who have shared the stage together for a number of years. Manx is an expert slide guitarist and a practitioner of the Mohan Veena, which is a 20-string Indian instrument that he has incorporated into his blues style. He has 15 solo albums to his credit. Marriner is a longtime member of the band MonkeyJunk. They have now combined their talents to release their debut album Hell Bound For Heaven. <\/em><\/p>\n They have produced primarily a roots album that incorporates strong elements of blues and gospel. Manx\u2019s exploration of fusing Indian music and American blues are muted, taking a more traditional approach.<\/p>\n Their debut together consists of six original and four cover tunes. The title track, the only one to feature the Mohan Veena, has creative interplay with Marriner\u2019s twelve-string guitar and is representative of the fusion of sounds and styles that combine to create their brand of roots music. \u201cMy Lord\u201d is just Marriner on guitar, harmonica, and vocals, which proves that sometimes simple is best. \u201cRise And Fall In Love\u201d is a unique approach, with Manx providing the vocals, Mariner on slide guitar, and a small string section<\/p>\n The covers run the gamete from Reverend Gary Davis\u2019 \u201cDeath Have No Mercy In This Land\u201d to the traditional \u201cThis Little Light Of Mine.\u201d Right in the middle is Charlie Patton\u2019s \u201cRattlesnake Blues\u201d with Manx revving up his slide guitar for some straightforward blues.<\/p>\n Harry Manx and Steve Marriner have combined their talents to release an album that explores many facets of what can be defined as roots music. Hell Bound For Heaven <\/em>is an album that invites repeated exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":33764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[10344],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-45585","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-manx-marriner-mainline","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45585"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45585"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
