Word of this album has been circulating among Grayson Capps' fans for years. Recorded in 2003 - two years before his debut album If You Knew My Mind - this stripped-down session features 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, 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, are featured.
Also included are rarities that have never been officially released 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 diehard fans. Songbones is intimate, front porch music, honest, down-home and pure; all of the traits that make Grayson Capps one of the most important songwriters to emerge from the South in recent memory.
