Review of Interview with Grayson Capps

This is a half hour interview with a semi known singer songwriter on a cell phone. It's hard to listen to and stay involved with because the questions asked are not particularly interesting, the subject rambles and the cell phone cuts in and out.

A check of the artists web site show a lot of care, but ultimately this is a regional coffee shop and bar artist making this interview pretty esoteric. The interview starts out with a status report on the artists New Orleans home and quickly turns into an unfocused whine about his life in general. The interview quickly gets away from the host and it isn't recaptured in the editing phase.

I've reviewed several interviews in this series and they all share common threads. The interviewer is a comfortable companion for the audience and earnestly wants to succeed. But the interviews are generally done on cell phones and the subject drives the story...and they generally aren't in a story telling mood.
