专辑简介
Grayson Capps returns with Wail & Ride, the follow-up to his acclaimed debut album, If You Knew My Mind. First breaking into the national spotlight with four songs on the soundtrack to the film, A Love Song For Bobby Long (starring John Travolta and Scarlett Johansson), Capps quickly built upon this initial exposure with non-stop touring. His electrifying performances would often comprise three-hour marathon sets of Southern rock debauchery and soul-stirring Americana epiphany. The buzz would lead to packed venues throughout the Southern United States, two European tours and an appearance at Bonnaroo.
Tragedy also played its part. In August 2005, Capps was driven from his home in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, where he?'d lived for 20 years. He responded by keeping a stiff upper lip and his eye on the road. He addresses the experience with the poignant song, ?"New Orleans Waltz.?" Other stand-out tracks include the black water, back-country blues of ?"Wail & Ride,?" the bayou-funk, second-line rumble of ?"Poison,?" the country & western gem ?"Jukebox?" (which could have come straight from the pen of Hank Williams) and perhaps his most exquisite piece of songwriting yet, ?"Daddy?'s Eyes.?"
Drawing comparisons to everyone from Lucinda Williams to The Drive-By Truckers, Grayson Capps finds his own niche by splitting the difference between the lineage of the road-wise, ever-seeking poet troubadour and the gritty delta howl of America?'s great Southern rock tradition.
