Tim Prottey Jones and Kezia Gill are set to release a re-imagined version of nostalgic 90s one hit wonder ‘Cotton Eye Joe.’ The track is set for release on 14th January 2022.
BCMA 2021 winners, Tim Prottey-Jones and Kezia Gill have recorded a stunning reimagined version of the nostalgic 90s hit ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ that is set for release on the 14th January 2022.
Once the campaign for his most recent original music came to a close, Tim came up with the idea of reworking some nostalgic 90’s one-hit-wonders and giving them a new lease of life as dark Americana tracks. Each track would be a duet with a vocalist he admired and ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ was no different. Take everything you thought you knew about this track, made famous by Rednex and throw it out the window. This take is a bold and fresh new approach, imbuing new life into the much-loved track, with the swooning tenor of both vocals swirling around each other, the reimagined version offers a perfect gothic tale.
Having known each other on the UK country circuit, BCMA award winners Tim and Kezia first collaborated during the very first lockdown in 2020 as part of a remotely recorded series of tracks that celebrated the best UK country voices and musicians. From that moment, Tim knew he wanted to record with Kezia again & he set about producing a version of the track that would rekindle the magic of where the Civil Wars left off whilst being true to the origins of the song.
