Proud Mary

´´I remember early spring, I remember everything…” And early Spring 2001 it was when Proud Mary first appeared on the scene. Proud Mary’s first single Very Best Friend was just a small taste of the infectious songs that the band had to offer – later followed by another limited single in the form of All Good Things. The two singles were just a taster of the band’s glorious debut album The Same Old Blues, produced by Noel Gallagher in just ten days and released on Gallagher’s very own Sour Mash records. The influences of Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Faces were there to be heard yet at the same time the band had managed to create a Rock’n’Roll record that touched the heart and fed the soul of the current generation. The second album Love and Light included the indie chart hit Mexico and features work from Andy Rourke (The Smiths) and Gordon Raphael (The Strokes). A more experimental album than their debut, the tracks mix soul, blues, gospel and of course good old fashioned Rock’n’Roll.
