On the brightest side of the scenario, I’ll never forget Blind Uncle Harry as an artist.  Dude’s weird, that’s a fact.  Lots of…

“reinforces what longtime fans already know: Blind Uncle Harry is one of the most original, unfiltered, and wildly entertaining songwriters working today.”

"The recurring hook- ‘She’s a vegan, she's a freegan in the USA'- is as catchy as it is hilarious, a tongue-inp-cheek anthem for the delightfully unconventional."

"Like many of his best songs, this track practically begs for a live, rowdy, sing-along audience- and there's no doubt it will become a fan favorite at shows."

Musically, “Kimberly Kankowski” is

“But that is what our favourite Uncle does: he shines a musical spotlight on the intolerance and division in society today, in songs laced with a brilliant mix of lyrical humour and which hold a mirror up to life’s more dangerous realities.

"'Kimberly Kankowski' cements Blind Uncle Harry as one of the sharpest observers of modern American absurdity.”

“'Kimberly Kankowski' achieves something rare. It makes listeners laugh, think, and sing in the same breath. Most importantly, the song reflects a truth about modern America: everyone is a caricature in someone else’s story."

“The chorus acts as the audience’s rallying cry. ‘Kimberly Kankowski/ She’s a vegan, she’s a freegan in the USA’ hits with such rhythmic bounce that it practically demands a

"At the heart of " Kimberly Kankowski" is, of course, the title character: an exaggerated projection of everything considered maximally suspicious in conservative small-town America. Neon-colored hair, ACAB tattoo, vegan, freegan, joint-wielding gender rights activist who'd rather rummage through dumpsters for food than shop at Walmart—and all this in Johnson City, Tennessee. A place where the supermarket has four aisles of beef jerky but no tempeh." 
“You can hear that the track was written for the kind of

“Kimberly Kankowski truly is a spectacular piece"

“the mix of a “man, liberals are fucking stupid” narrative with country music (a genre commonly associated with republican rednecks) is a stroke of genius on Blind Uncle Harry’s part.”

This is a comedy rock type deal, I take it? I’m not saying this because “Kimberly Kankowski,” the new single by Blind Uncle Harry (to be released on December 4^th of this…

“Overall, “Kimberly Kankowski” is an excellent dose of what makes Blind Uncle Harry memorable: clever lyricism, a vocal performance that sells every line, and a production that chooses immediacy over polish so the joke and the character land.” 

“…the writing nails the comedic dissonance between Kimberly’s urban-progressive identity and the conservative, small-town Tennessee setting she crashes into.”
