Indiana-based indie folk rock maverick Blind Uncle Harry returns with a catchy and self-empowering anthem, “Courage to Love”
Blind Uncle Harry is a rarity among folk-rock singers. He prides himself on his uniqueness and innate competency to maintain a consistent brand with music that has always been organically sourced while remaining relevant all these years. He makes music for the endless summers, sun-streaked days, and introspective nights. It’s an ear-worming sound rooted not only in Bloomington, where he grew up but also in the anthemic live shows that I’ve taken him from coast to coast. In the time since he started performing, he has expanded his reach beyond the bedroom where he honed his craft. He writes songs that target the head as well as the heart. He is still going, stronger than ever, driven by purpose and passion…and of course, his clever wit makes his music particularly engaging!
Well, he is back, and this time he comes through with a catchy, self-empowering anthem titled “Courage to Love.”
With its gently strummed guitar and mellow harmonies supported by lyrics that are simple to understand and also carry such a meaningful message, this new track does not stray from his signature principles as someone who has mastered the art of simplicity and making it sound so ingenious.
With his velvety tones accentuated by his sing-song technique, Blind Uncle Harry reaches the core of emotional gratification. The backing vocal harmonies add to the song’s depth and texture as well.
The chorus is pretty much unforgettable and one that stays with you even after the song is no more. It is where the gist of this track resides, with its mantra-like phrases underscoring the message behind the lyrics.
“Courage to Love” speaks of three fundamental issues and is a self-empowering reminder for anyone listening to be able to master the courage to face and live their dreams as well as the courage to love themselves.
And it wouldn’t be a Blind Uncle Harry record without some quick wit, and he manages to be effortlessly funny and leaves you with something to smile about!
An empowering and inspiring anthem that is just as entertaining, there is every reason for you to have “Courage to Love” as a new favorite!
