“Of course many other artists have made [“Proud Mary”] their own in the 50+ years since its release, and Prinz Grizzley is equally impactful. He reimagines it as a traditional blues folk banjo based backwood banger. The kind of cigarette trucker hat jive that gets you feeling good and ready for another Bud and twirl of Mary by the jukebox.”
