Nurture Your Nature

"I love this album! It's a mixture of Bono, the Eagles, and the Beatles but at the same time so original. I listen to it on the way to work every morning. His songs are so refreshing. I recommend it to everyone!!! " Review by Yesenia Lavalle
From first notes to last words, Nurture Your Nature weaves an alluring tapestry of thoughtful and passionate lyrics, sensual and memorable melodies, all driven by the powerful and sometimes exotic rhythms of Gary's classic and eclectic drumming, with strong rock, jazz, Latin and African influences.
The overall sound of this CD is reminiscent of the best of classic 70's/80's era rock, but with an unmistakable style that is unique and original. This 'concept' CD, with beginning to end story line, is set as an intimate concert played out at the Montmarte Cafe, in Paris. All the compositions, some of which have over 50 separate tracks, were masterfully recorded with world class musicians, with Gary playing all the drum and percussion tracks, and some of the guitar, keyboard and vocal tracks.
This CD was several years in the making, with the last three months spent in intensive recording. All the songs (except of course, the lovely Nocturne by master composer, Frederic Chopin), were written and produced by Gary. Paintings on CD are by Gary Walker.
Just as with fine art or beautiful gardens where the more you look, the more you see; so too with this CD, the more you listen, the more you hear.
Thank you for stopping by and we hope you enjoy the CD and will tell your friends about it.
