Title: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on September 22, 2007, 01:30:17 AM Yes, this song has been overplayed on the radio. Yes, a lot of us are sick of hearing this CCR/Ike & Tina T. classic!
But I still like Brian's version (only on boots so far). It's got a real 'funky' grove and the synth sound kinda reminds me of 'BB Love You'. I say 'yea', release it on the next album. Maybe the last track of the album. Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: Jay on September 22, 2007, 01:51:59 AM I love it. ;D If he doesn't re-record it in the future, I think he should release his version from the 90's(?). I LOVE that bass-brass/synth riff every time Brian yells "Rollin'!". It's so funky! 8)

Post by: Rocker on September 22, 2007, 03:08:48 AM Brian & Band played it during a soundcheck in Germany, 2004. Really? Are tehre recordings of this? Love Brian's version. It's so fresh and funky... Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: PMcC on September 22, 2007, 04:20:32 AM I too say yea...release that sucker! Brian made 'proud mary' sound like a Brian Wilson song. Great energy on the chorus, especially when it smashes in at the end after the soft verse. Love it.
Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: Ron on September 22, 2007, 07:08:17 AM I'll just give you the short answer
"BW does 'Any damn song he wants to record and release'" Hell yeah! Proud Mary will be great because he's had his heart set on it forever, any song he can get behind passionately I would love to see him release. Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: the captain on September 22, 2007, 07:39:49 AM I really don't like the booted version I've heard. But as someone else said, he can do whatever he wants. Maybe a new version would be more up my alley.

That WAS the show after the one I've seen. I remember checking the setlist from that show to see if he played it. Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: Wirestone on September 22, 2007, 03:04:34 PM Nah. He's used the best bits of it in the LOS "Goin' Home" anyway.
Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: 49ersphil on September 23, 2007, 08:44:29 PM Would fit in nicely to a "rock n'roll" album.

Nay... Title: Re: BW does 'Proud Mary' - yea or nay? Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on September 26, 2007, 11:10:28 PM After hearing Brian's new 'TLOS', I think it would fit nicely on the end of his next album.
AGD - Do you have any session info on the 'Proud Mary' version in circulation? Is it a Paley/Wilson track? Musicians? |
