Word of these recordings has been circulating among Grayson Capps’ fans for years. Recorded in 2002—three years before his debut album If You Knew My Mind—this magical, stripped-down session features only Grayson on acoustic guitar and his longtime friend Tom Marron on fiddle. Recorded at New Orleans’ 9th Street Pickin’ Parlor, Grayson let the tape roll, cutting the entire album in less than five hours. Appropriately titled Songbones, featured here are Grayson’s original renditions of songs like “Washboard Lisa,” “I Can’t Hear You,” “Slidell” and “Mermaid” that have since become staples in his repertoire. Also available for the first time are rarities like “Junior & The Old African Queen,” “Guitar” and “Psychic Channel Blues.” It’s a pristine recording that captures Grayson’s songwriting, voice and guitar-picking in all of its unadorned glory. Only 5000 copies of the album are being made available as a collector’s piece for Grayson’s fans, while they await the next official studio album, which is rumored to be a 2-CD set tentatively slated for release in Spring 2008. Songbones is intimate, honest, down-home music; all of the traits that make Grayson Capps one of the most important songwriters to emerge from the South in recent memory.
