He calls to mind comparisons to Townes Van Zandt, JJ Cale and Steve Earle, but clearly has the making of a singular, iconoclastic talent in his own right.
He was first introduced nationally on the hit soundtrack to the Scarlett Johansson/John Travolta film, A Love Song For Bobby Long, in which four of Capps’ songs were featured.
Grayson Capps’ debut album, If You Knew My Mind, was produced by Trina Shoemaker whose resume includes Sheryl Crow, Queens of the Stone Age and Whiskeytown, among others. Throughout the record, Capps husky, whiskey-soaked vocals bring to life the down, but never out, characters who reside in his songs. Greasy slide riffs and finger picked steel guitar create the foundation for stomp-on-the-floorboard grooves, sanctified funk, earth grown soul and gospel refrains. This is music of the South, written on the outskirts of New Orleans and in the backwoods of Alabama, and as real as a deep breath of fresh bayou air.
