Lewis Floyd Henry – One Man And His 30w Pram – Adjust - ??? - ****

Lewis Floyd Henry is a busker, one man band and Youtube phenomenon from South East London, channelling Jimi Hendrix, delta blues, and hip hop through an electric guitar, a tiny foot-operated drum kit, and a sound rig strapped to a pram.
Despite its low-budget beginnings, One Man And His 30w Pram can sound vast, when Guardian Angels and Magic Carpet update Hendrix's soulful cosmic visionary acid-blues, as well as authentically folksy.
It's doubtful you'll hear a more arresting opening to an album this year than Sacred Gardens. Jaded reviewers nationwide drop piles of promotional bribes and cry, 'Who is thus guy?'
