The Cabinet Maker Album

After years of putting his future in the hands of others, Gary Edward Jones decided to take control of his own destiny. He set out to find the most talented musicians he could and a chance meeting with Skeet Williams revealed an instant musical synergy. 

Together, with Gary’s good friend and sound engineer, Gareth Dubbeling, they recorded a pre-production album in Gary’s back room which received positive feedback from trusted ears in the industry and friends alike. They joined forces with Oscar South and Daniel J. Logan and the backbone of the album and live performance was formed.

Gary’s talent as a producer lies in encouraging creativity and sensitivity from his band members, and providing the necessary structure to allow moments for each musician to really shine. 

They recorded at Orchard Studios, Crewe and The Batcave, Liverpool. Russell Cottier mixed and mastered the album, working with Gary to exacting standards and paying great attention to detail. In Gary’s mind the brief was always to allow the guitars and vocals to entwine making a rich, warm, sound that would be easy to listen to; an objective most definitely achieved. 

It was imperative that the album had the kind of backing vocals that Gary was brought up on (Fleetwood Mac, Motown etc.) Elizabeth Kearney and Kellyann Lea of ‘Grace and Danger’ delivered the goods in virtually one take. 

Nine, well-crafted songs represent just a small part of Gary’s repertoire. The Cabinet Maker reflects the experiences from his life and the lives of those closest to him. 

Gary’s motivation to bring the album to completion was to show his parents and his most loyal supporters that all the time spent crafting songs and performing them hadn’t been in vain. He wanted nothing more than to know they were proud of him, with songs that were heartfelt, honest and very, very real.
