And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
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.

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
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.

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

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...

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…

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!

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.

Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…

A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.

Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.

Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…

Very tasty intro. You're getting some fab guitar sounds.
Love the "Makes me think a little more bout how I’d like to be" line. And that solo is simply spot on - simple is best :)

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

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 ....

Oh yeah, nice one. Big sound. You've got those synths and guitars working well together.
Love it
Oh yes, another gorgeous one. I think it's my favourite so far.

A fine set of tracks. Looking forward to you posting more.
Ah! I seem to have listened to them back-to-front... But yes, this would be a great opener.
"And all we ever wanted was to feel something more..." Yes
Haven't disliked one yet - running out of things to say though!!
Yep
Oh yeah. I faved it from the very start. Huge track. Loving the sounds I've heard so far.

Still sounds good :)

This is pretty wonderful.
LOVE IT! Captures the vibe of the original and moves it on.
