Music News - Aston Rd Sessions #6: Louis Baker covers Princes 'Purple Rain'
30 September 2014 - 0 Comments
Louis Baker covers the legendary king of funk Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ as the sixth release of the Aston Rd Sessions.
The intensity of this up close and mesmerizing intimate performance shows why Baker has become renowned for both tear inducing and uplifting live shows.
"Ever since I first heard Prince he has been a sort of musical mentor to me, and for some years now I have felt attracted to doing my own version of Purple Rain. This moving piece of music has an enigmatic way of speaking straight to the heart of a human being. It is because of this wonderful energy, that I have endeavoured to do a solo rendition", says Baker
