For nearly two decades, Caleb “Bones” Owens has been fulfilling other artists’ and bandmates’ visions. He was a member of moody hard rockers The Becoming and longtime collaborator with dirty-south rapper Yelawolf. Other notable credits include working alongside Mikky Ekko, composing credits for Rose Falcon and Mike Mains & the Branches, and other contributions to Nashville-based acts. Now primed to take the wheel on his own musical excursion, Bones’ journey starts with his brand-new, self-titled debut album via Black Ranch Records/Thirty Tigers.
Just before releasing the his tight, rollicking 12-song collection, the frontman guitarist (and faux bassist) virtually welcomed PG’s Chris Kies into his Tennessee home jam space (that could double as a Kustom Amplification museum).
In this episode, we find out why Gibsons just fit Bones Owens (and his sound), he explains his Hiwatt-heavy and Echopark-rich amp pairings, and details the Pete Cornish-heavy pedalboards that enable him to punch with the guitar and rumble like a bass.
[Facing a mandatory shelter-in-place ordinance to limit the spread of COVID-19, PG enacted a hybrid approach to filming and producing Rig Rundowns. This is the 42nd video in that format.
