about

Grayson Capps’ ‘South Front Street’ is a 16-song retrospective of the acclaimed South Alabama singer-songwriter’s career, compiled by his wife and longtime musical foil, Grammy® Award-winning producer/engineer, Trina Shoemaker. In the album’s liner notes, Shoemaker explains: “I began this as a personal compilation that I sequenced for myself. It is a collection of songs that paint a picture of our life together and reveals a world from the uniquely enchanted, poetic and tormented perspective of Grayson Capps.” She later continues: “These songs capture a life in motion, in pain and joy, in gain and loss, in humility and in grace.”

More than just a standard “Best Of” compilation presenting Grayson Capps’ most popular work, Shoemaker selected songs that have personal significance in their journey together. She titles the collection ‘South Front Street,’ named after the street where Capps lived, in a shotgun house along the Mississippi River in New Orleans, amid an assortment of outsiders and ne’er-do-wells that he credits as the inspiration for finding his voice as a songwriter. It follows Grayson and Trina’s life in New Orleans, their relocation to Nashville after being forced out following Hurricane Katrina and a subsequent return to the Gulf Coast where they now reside in Fairhope, Alabama. It touches on songs written both before and after Capps met Shoemaker, including material from Capps’ critically acclaimed band Stavin’ Chain and his role in the cult film ‘A Love Song For Bobby Long’ starring Scarlett Johansson and John Travolta.

Taking it even another step further than the standard retrospective approach, Shoemaker revisited each of the original recordings, remixing many of the songs from scratch, essentially presenting them here anew. Some of Capps’ best known work, “Get Back Up,” “Washboard Lisa” and “Daddy’s Eyes” are born again in striking aural clarity. Deeper tracks like “Harley Davidson,” “May We Love” and “Train Song” will be heard for the first time in their new incarnations by many of Capps’ most devout fans. As Shoemaker concludes: “Among this collection are recordings I believe to be my finest work. ‘South Front Street: A Retrospective’ is Grayson Capps’ story, and within it lies my own.”

about

Grayson Capps Mobile, Alabama

Grayson Capps is relaxed. You can hear it in the tone of his voice when he speaks, in the thoughtful, laconic way he reflects on the sometimes-tumultuous course of his life and work. It’s not the sound of complacency or comfort, but rather of personal growth and understanding. ... more

This is real sad guy music. So vulnerable and raw, but sounds sweet. 3 of these songs really HIT me and are SO beautiful (and I like the album as a whole). Sandy Naorin
