Dopesmokers Of The World Unite And Take Over Review by Which Coast

“Dopesmokers of the World Unite and Take Over” is a modern marijuana anthem 

We have previously covered Blind Uncle Harry’s rousing track, “Christmas Day in Australia” which taught us one major thing: when listening to Blind Uncle Harry, expect to have a good time.

I really get a Violent Femmes vibe from this track, fused with a bit of modern folk music - this song is a treat and even a bit of a trip in itself.

Blind Uncle Harry - real name Chris “Harry” Doran - is a singer/songwriter from Bloomington Indiana. We have previously covered Blind Uncle Harry’s rousing track, “Christmas Day in Australia” which taught us one major thing: when listening to Blind Uncle Harry, expect to have a good time. Today we check out another hit from Blind Uncle Harry, “Dopesmokers of the World Unite and Take Over”. 

“Dopesmokers of the World Unite and Take Over” is a modern marijuana anthem, incorporating some elements of folk and bluegrass music. Utilizing a call-and-response approach to the vocals, Blind Uncle Harry provides commentary about the world, encouraging everyone to “chill the fuck out”; his use of stoner language and perspective that the world would be a better place if dope smokers ran the world make this track a lot of fun to listen to while imagining the events Blind Uncle Harry is singing about. I really get a Violent Femmes vibe from this track, fused with a bit of modern folk music - this song is a treat and even a bit of a trip in itself. 

As we said before, Blind Uncle Harry is not the kind of music experience you come across every day; each track we have heard is a unique and enjoyable experience and you never know quite what you will find - you just know you will have a good time. You can check out Blind Uncle Harry’s website, Facebook and Bandcamp to learn more about this talented artist and his band. Take a look at “Dopesmokers of the World Unite and Take Over”
