"It was like I left the house for a while," explains this seasoned Americana artist, "and when I came back some of the furniture had been stolen and the rest had been moved all around."
Grant's new release, 'It's Later Than You Think,' his second record since his U.S. homecoming, speaks in a clean, brooding Americana sound, and captures the friction of his re-entry into American culture and society.
He's a finger-in-your-eye songwriter - biting, edgy and irreverent. His themes are patently in-your-face. There's a grim assessment of the ubiquitous demise of the American small town in "Pitiful Little Town." Biting environmental satire in his ode to Florida, titled "Sunshine State." Grinding social and political axes in both "Patriot Act" and "Grant's Talking Blues."
"I like to think I write thinking-man's songs," Peeples says. They are sung in an articulate twang, swinging and crashing from the wry and witty to the dark and angry.
Bobby Braddock, Nashville songwriting legend, compares Peeples to one of his own favorite co-writers: "I told my daughter: 'this guy sounds just like Prine, but with a Southern bent.'"
