Austrian singer-songwriter Chris Comper (known under the moniker Prinz Grizzley) penned one of the most beautiful Americana songs released all year. The mid-tempo acoustic folk song entitled “A Rose on Garbage Hill (The Daughter)” is about his grandmother, Tilda, and the rugged and hellish circumstances she’d overcome in her life. Life’s been tough for Tilda, but there’s always a chance to smile and count yourself grateful anyhow.
The clever lyrics tell us about some of the details of Tilda’s struggles that still land like a sharp wisdom shared through clever song. But there’s more to the song than the thorns it describes; Prinz Grizzley’s voice brings the warmth and depth that Johnny Cash enchanted us with all those many years ago. The vocal melodies rise beautifully at the seemingly perfect moment, emphasizing key emotional highlights, leaning the heavier sentiments meaningfully against a sturdy, waltzing chest. It’s like Prinz Grizzley knowingly holds you close for the story as he tells it.
“She has never been dumb and realized real quick
Don’t throw pearls, instead use bricks
Stick to what and to who you are
Cause you’re the one who’ll lead you far”
Listen to the fantastic Americana stylings of Prinz Grizzley on his latest record, TILDA
