Music reviews of Wail & Ride

Music Review: Love Grayson Capps
Rating: 5 Stars

Description of Wail & Ride

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.
