Oh yeah...the slide just kicked in and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Killer groove, the bass and drum lock up, along with the Rhodes...... Love the space in this mix too. Damn, Andrew, you are on fire. It's good to hear you making music again. Selfishly speaking, it's inspiring.

Exhales...man. I'll just say this is really, really powerful. And tough to listen to since I think I know where this is from. On a production note, whatever mics you are alluding to where a good acquisition. I love how your acoustic has been sounding on these cuts this morning.

Oh, and the ending...love the fade out flourish.

Oh! The backing vox! I can hear the 1978 in it, and I like it, a lot. I love the "I didn't think..." sections leading into the chorus. Whatever you're doing for chords and build...perfect. The chord changes in general, the twists, shifts...You need to write more in this vein...

A few measures in and I am already smiling. I can feel the warmth of this song coming through, and I love how your acoustic sounds. Great cut!

Another wonderful song, Andrew very much enjoyed KC

Sounds like you’ve been inside my youngest sons head. Seb would agree totally...... excellent delivery as always ...

Good stuff. You're very versatile.

Does have an old school feel ... but that's good.

Another beauty from the shoebox.. keep em coming

i can totally imagine hearing this on a classic rock or even an oldies radio station. and oldie but a goodie :) very catchy tune and now it's stuck in my head

I LOVE this!! It's got everything - super-catchy, some lovely chord changes, great middle eight and a key change at the end. This would have been a huge hit in the 60s!

This is fabulous! What a talented lad you were.... the gal in the story didn’t get it!

Excellent!

That’s a long way back! Long before any of us could easily record at home. It’s a fun song that you have held onto all these years. I wonder we’re the next generation of musicians are? The garage bands, kids dragging instruments around, all that seems to be gone. You’re song has managed to bring back the memories of my youth.

Has a Beatlesque vibe :-) 15 when you wrote it, huh, the talent was already there... enjoyed it, Andrew KC

Loved it the first time around, now adore it, a cross between Dr. John and Leon Russell, with little bit of Ian Dury ...... Magic ....

Well ,now THAT MIGHT JUST BE THE BEST TUNE I,VE MISSED ON ALONETONE ALL YEAR The whole thin is brilliant Ok double faved. Slide into song writers envy Did I mention that this rocks my my my

wonderful song, Andrew Love the bright guitartone and the vocals good one! KC

Heroic ballads... this is so cool. So glad you’ve shared these older works. Brilliant!

Lovely track. Gorgeous feel. I'd have been happier if it had been longer - I put it on and went "yeah" and wandered off to another window. There was a real feeling of "Oh!" when it stopped - had to come back and hit play again! lol

Back for another listen. Can't believe I didn't fave it last time!

"Lovely tinkly bits" - Can't really top that for a comment, B lol And it's so true! Loved it all. I thought it was just OK when it started, not quite my kind of thing... But it grabbed my attention enough to stay, and then it just dragged me in. Faved by the end. Nice track.

Yep, that works :-) Cool song on the original track. Enhances and brings out that riff. I listened to the original first and thought "it's the riff I'd go for" - and I'm guessing that's what gave you the mood for the lyrics/vocal. Nice work both!

And I forgot to mention those drums on the first listen. Yeah!!

Oh this hangs together very well... VERY well. Really interesting arrangement - all the different parts shouldn't really go together... but they fit seamlessly. Love it.

I like this one a lot. Gotta get me a banjo, or a mandolin, or both!! You realise you're gonna have to get a fiddle as well now? (Or have you got one already!). Fine track. Love those falling chords.

Not come across this tuning, not sure how it gets played, can't imagine it. Might have to give it a go. You seem to know what to do with it, though!

Good work guys. Very effective guitar track and mighty fine vocal from Hooky :-)

Nice. Like the riff, and lovely keyboards.

Rockin' :-) Sooner or later I've got to treat myself to a Sunday afternoon like this. Some well tasty guitaring going on here.

I kept meaning to listen to this ever since you first posted it. I didn't have 9 minutes at the time! Then I noticed the attention it was getting - so I reckoned it must be something special... ... found the 9 minutes and.. YES! It is...

Coming from a completely different space than I've been dwelling in for the past few hours - and very refreshing because of that. Enjoyed it a great deal.

Had to give this another listen before I lock myself away in the room with too many guitars. Thanks for the inspiration.

And another one! Fantastic. "Far too high, far too bright.." Love it... This is definitely the last one I'm listening to... I'll catch up some more later... I'm off to the broom-cupboard now.

Oh fantastic song and performance. Love the "mandolin" - is it one, or the "capo up the neck" trick? (I keep meaning to stop and actually go and do some stuff myself - but another one of yours keeps starting and I keep listening instead!) This one is utterly fabulous.

Lovin these guitar sounds.

Rockin

Always liked this one

Yes. Lovely. Not sure I've heard your voice like this before (away from lots of instruments). You've got a lot more bottom-end to it than usually shows up on bigger arrangements. Think about discovering how to bring it out on those as well - not too much, just a bit :-) Of course, it might just have been the flu!!! lol
