Jay Munly (also credited as Munly and Munly Munly) is a banjo player, guitarist, singer, and songwriter based in Denver, Colorado. He has played a role in the development of the “Denver Sound”, music that mixes elements of country, Gothic, and gospel. He is a member of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club and Denver Broncos UK as well as the leader of his own band, Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots. Prior to working with the Harlots, Munly released several solo albums recording with a vast array of musicians. Some of these performers included members of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, DeVotchKa, and future members of Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots. In July 2006, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots was voted the best band in Colorado by over 100 music experts in the Denver Post Underground Music Poll.[1]
Munly is also a published author who has received the Southern Heritage Award and the Young North American Playwright Award for his work
Munly’s music has ties to alt-country and gothic americana. Common themes include religion, violence and dysfunctional relationships; often they are intertwined. His increasingly narrative songs often feature banjo and, since the recording of Jimmy Carter Syndrome, strings.
Munly and the Harlots are currently working on two new records, neither of which has a release date.

I read something somewhere about Munly living in a black-gloss painted house filled with medical pickles and dead things. Maybe he would like to buy... no, wait...

'Ten songs with no music'. I haven't ever seen it anywhere other than the Ebay auction I bid on and didn't win. It goes for silly money.

At one point, you could get 'Blurry' on re-release. I agree, it's not my fave by far either, but then each of the albums is different. Me, I want his book. Now that is impossible to get. As for his looks, at least he is distinctive...

This man pretty much is the heart and soul of gothic country. Good luck trying to find anything other than Jimmy Carter Syndrome, Munly &t the Lee Lewis Harlots.

I don't think it's been released yet but does anyone know the name of the song with the chorus "dance you cunts"? I saw it performed a couple years back and I've been hoping it shows up on disc.
