Press Kit - Grayson Capps

Grayson Capps

"This fourth album by the Nashville-based native Alabaman and former New Orleanian plays out in the raw Southern milieu of his earlier work, and he again brings that world to vivid life. Supported by his band, the Stumpknockers, and singing in a gruff baritone, Capps spins out simmering backwoods story songs like "Arrowhead" and "Ike" that sound like a cross between Tony Joe White and Tom Waits. That's when he's not letting loose with the roadhouse-rocking fury of "Big Ole Woman" or "Big Black Buzzard." - Philadelphia Inquirer

"Take the poetry of Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt, combine with Steve Earle’s edgy attitude and then stir it up with a little cup of bayou blues, à la Howlin’ Wolf, and you get a taste of Capps’ scrumptious gothic gumbo." - Exclaim

"Essential Listening" - NineBullets.net

"If you like your music, rough, raw and honest, accompanied by lyrics that are a mix of poetry, bourbon, humour, and empathy, than you need to listen to Grayson Capps. Rott 'N' Roll will make you realize that you've never actually heard Southern rock before - everything else was just a pale imitation of this - the real thing." - Blogcritics.com

"Grayson Capps is part country singer, part bluesman, part preacher, part vagabond and part poet." - Hear Ya Blog

"Grayson Capps & The Stumpknockers play knock-down-drag-out-whiskey-laced rock and roll as if it were the last call for their souls to be saved." - Swampland.com
