Morning Star
 2020
Morning Star the 12th studio album by Greg "Grey" Perkins.
"It was written between January of 2017 and November of 2019. It covers many areas of interest to me lyrically. Musically, it was recorded using A-432 tuning as opposed to A-440 tuning. I have wanted to push my boundaries as much as possible and hopefully have advanced in some small way from my previous releases. Videos will accompany many of the songs. Please check out the Grey website for the videos. This album was taken to Castle Row Studios in Oklahoma City to be mixed as my longtime mixer, Dave Skinner, retired and moved to Dallas. Dave did great work on many of my past albums and he will be missed, but change is a part of music. Special Thanks: Joseph Harbour, Steven Harwood and Luke Tallon for helping me to once again re-create the music I hear in my head and to make the songs better than I imagine. Enjoy ! " Greg “Grey” Perkins, 20 May 2020 Musicians: Greg Perkins: 6 & 12 String Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Drum Programming, Piano, Organ, Synthesizers, Bass, Vocals Joseph Harbour: Drums Steve Harwood: Piano and Organ Recorded at Grey Havens Recording Studio in Enid, Oklahoma between January 2017 and November 2019. Mixed by Luke Tallon at Castle Row Studios in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma between December 2019 and March 2020. Mastered by Greg Perkins at Grey Havens Recording Studio in Enid, Oklahoma in April 2020.

Booze & Psychedelics 2016
Booze & Psychedelics is the 11th studio album by Greg "Grey" Perkins. It was released on 31 December 2016. It was written about, and sometimes while I was partaking in, ”Booze and Psychedelics”. The songs cover everything from what we think or dream about in our everyday lives, to the memories of my past and on to wild sci-fi themes. The album will be followed with videos so that both the music and the image of what I was thinking when these songs were written, and later recorded, could be heard and seen by all. One departure on this album is that I took four poems by D.L. Lang and put music to them in a medley-type of format. It is the song entitled “Oh, My Chameleon Perceptions” after the title of one of the poems. I am very pleased with it and hope everyone will search out her poetry and enjoy it as I have. The videos mentioned above will be done at Grey Way Film Studios which is what I call the video making arm of Grey Havens Recording Studios. Thanks for watching and listening, Greg "Grey" Perkins. Enjoy !!
 2014
Through Time
"Through Time" is the 10th studio album by Grey. Released in August of 2014 it covers songs that have been written in the past by Grey but not recorded and also new material. It begins in 1982 for the opening three songs when Greg "Grey" Perkins was in a band called Elixir. It jumps to 1989 for the next song where Grey worked with friend John Hill. Then it's on to 1994 for two songs and 1996 for one song that just never made earlier Grey albums. It continues to 2001 for the last of the past un-recorded songs. Grey teams up with Jason Harbour to write a tribute song to Layne Staley entitled "Hell Within". Grey has now recorded everything he has written with "Through Time". The remaining six songs are new songs from 2014. There are also 13 videos that were made for this album and they can be seen on this and other Grey websites. Enjoy ! |

Dark Doorway 2013
“Dark Doorway” is the 9th CD released in June 2013 by rock recording artist Grey. It is a collection of 19 rock songs, one of which is in French. It was recorded in Enid at Grey Havens Recording Studio and mixed and mastered at Skinner Audio by Dave Skinner and Grey. “I started recording it in July 2011 and we finished in May 2013”, says Grey which is the “nom de plume” of Greg Perkins. “I have a longer prog-rock piece this time called “Journey of Souls” which is a result of a recent fascination with after-life studies I have read. The songs are inspired by personal events in my life and the events of other people and the world.”
" The musicians for “Dark Doorway” are familiar to Grey fans. Mikey Harbour was the drummer and Steve Harwood played piano. Dave Skinner worked with me not only as a producer but again as a musician as he did for the last Grey CD, “Inquire Within”. I enjoyed this very much as it brought a different color to the musical palette. ” Grey has eight previous rock CD’s and has been a guitarist, singer, and songwriter for 37 years. |

Inquire Within 2010
"Inquire Within" is the 8th rock album released by Grey. Released in September 2010 it features 12 original rock songs, including an adaptation of a poem by French poet Paul Verlaine, sung in French. It was recorded at Grey Havens Recording Studio by Grey. Dave Skinner mixed and mastered the album at Skinner Audio. “I started recording it in June 2009 and we finished in August 2010″, says Grey. “Like most of my CD’s it is a collection of songs over a one to two year period. As the songs came together I found a common theme kept emerging. This often happens and the theme this time around was the idea of looking within oneself and questioning oneself as to what you believe or feel and why you believe or feel that way. I almost never set out with a theme in mind. It just seems to happen.” Mikey Harbour, drummer, and Steve Harwood, pianist, are familiar to Grey fans, but two new additions grace the new album. “I have Mily Aragonez singing back-up vocals and Dave Skinner worked with me not only as a producer this time but as a musician for this CD. I enjoyed this very much as it brought a different color to the musical palette.”

Ice World
 2009
Released in Spring of 2009, "Ice World" is Grey's 7th album and features Mikey Harbour (keyboard and synthesizer), Patrick Costello (percussion), and Steve Harwood (piano). Ice World started in January 2007 with Patrick laying down drum tracks, taking two years plus two months to be completed, delayed by the relocation and construction of Grey Havens Studios. In the liner notes Grey describes the project: “This time I have gravitated towards one overall theme and that is the ‘human condition’ as I believe it to be today. I feel we have almost become a totally isolated people; isolated within ourselves and kept apart too often by modern technology. This may sound pessimistic and to some extent maybe it is but I ask you to think about your friends, family and people in general and the communication that you have with them today as opposed to five or ten or more years ago and ask yourself if it is as personal and genuine as it used to be. And so I will leave you with that thought. Please enjoy this icy experience!”

Rock & Pop
 2002
The original "Rock & Pop", Grey’s sophomore studio effort, was recorded in 2001-2002 at Champagne Studios. The entire process was filmed as an award-winning “Let it be-esque” television documentary series, “Grey: The Rock & Pop Sessions.”
The track “This is the Time, This is the Place” reached #4 on the Psychedelic charts at mp3.com, and the music videos for it, “Enough for me Tonight” and “Addiction” took home Best Music Video at the Bare Bones International Film Festival. During this time, Grey was featured as Artist of the Week at radio station KUAL, and interviewed to promote the album. Grey saw the death of mp3.com as an opportunity to re-record the album in 2004 at his Grey Havens Studios in a more leisurely fashion not provided to him with the original recordings. These recordings also feature the talents of Jason Harbour, Mike Harbour, Kevin Bunch, and Stephen Harwood. The album is an equal blend of rock and pop styles that are an enjoyable listen all the way through. |

Grey Colours
 1993
Grey says, “I began writing songs in 1981 while in high school. The songs have changed some since written and I have often debated the various forms of them I have created but these are the shapes I found to represent them the best.
I was living in Toulouse, France at the time that I originally recorded "Colours". I met Yvan M. when I moved to Toulouse and he needed someone to sing in English for his Milo project. It was Yvan and J.C. that gave alot of their time and effort to put the 10 songs down into a working format.” All songs written by Grey. Original recording, Produced and Engineered by Grey & “Doc” Mirouse. Recorded & Mixed during the Summer & Fall 1993 at Studio Queenriver and at Filataires’ Cellar in Toulouse France. Re-recorded in 2004 with musicians Jason Harbour, Mikey Harbour, Kevin Bunch, and Steve Harwood at Grey Havens Studios. Mixed and Mastered at Db Studios with Dave Skinner. |
