Austrian Alps-based Americana songwriter Prinz Grizzley recently recorded dolefully gentle, banjo and acoustic guitar rendition of CCR’s ‘Proud Mary’
”?If someone would’ve told me a year ago that I’d do a cover of a CCR song, I would’ve laughed out loud and called them crazy! I would’ve said that I’d never, ever dare to do a cover of a CCR song and particularly not ?’?Proud Mary!?’? Because of two things, first, nobody, I mean really nobody, sings these songs better than John Fogerty! Second, John Fogerty´s music has been with me as long as I can remember. It kind of became the holy grail for me. These songs are not to be messed around with or changed. For example, I never liked the Tina Turner version, although I know it’s a killer one. I know I broke my own rule, but with this version of mine, I think this exception is acceptable, at least for me!?”? Prinz GrizzleY.
These songs of finding hope, revenge and eventually serenity will make you look for your own secluded mountain town to settle down in, get drinks with friends and maybe even start a family.
