5.0 out of 5 stars Screw the critics, March 26, 2008

By	Robert Skeel "Danny" (Greensboro) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you haven't heard of Grayson Capps now is the time to buy not one but all of his CD's. To say one is better than another is like picking out the best tasting apple, it can't be done. Sure some taste different but there all good like Graysons CD's. Stavin Chain was a band he had that broke up but they were all really talented musicians. As far as the song writing goes I would have to say that is rivals some of the greats. Grayson is able to paint a picture with words to a point where you could swear that you were there and saw what he was talking about. He is catagorized as blues and some people may be detracted by that because he is modern and that it isn't all blues. It would be better to categorize him as New Orleans. That is what the music sounds like to me, Its all over the board from country, to folk, to blues , to rock. You name it and He playes it, but it all held together buy that New Orleans thread. Graysons voice sound a lot like Bruce Springsteen did on Greetings From Ashbury Park, yet at the same time its more bluesy. He is truly a musical Genius and also a literary genius. Critics don't like the modern Blues guys for some reason, any thing modern and they are bound to point out that its ok but its modern. Why? I don't know, maybe because the music has evolveed in to something harder to play, its not the simple 12 Bar blues anymore, its improved, its better, and as Far as Grayson Capps goes he is one of the best, far better than the Howling Wolf's of the past. I highly recommend you buy not just this CD but all of Grayson's CD's. There are only 4 but there all well worth it. I can honestly say I have all of his CD's and there is not one bad song on them, just a bunch of great ones.

3.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't change the station if it came on the radio., January 18, 2008

By	Mick Rogers (Kent, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Of course, this never will. Come on the radio, that is. Unless you live close to a college. A liberal college. This is a modern guy doing the blues. If that's what you listen to, you've heard what Capps does before. Nothing particularly new here. But he does a decent job of making it his own. Its worth a listen. Won't change your life in any way. Maybe your life doesn't need changing. I don't know you.
