I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

Hey man - first i want to thank you for listening and commenting on our stuff - i am guilty of not spending much time on the Atone - anyway - this track is killer man! The melody is playful yet the lyrics seem a bit sarcastic, kinda intense. Love your voice too

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

We did four versions of this song - all with different guitars (or combinations thereof). This is version 2, my own favorite version.
You can find all four versions at my web site:

Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
Someone's opened my ears (not sure who, but it's probably someone on here) - I started listening to this the other day and thought "yeah, it's ok" and stopped it after 30 seconds to look for something else.
I love the title though, so I just gave it another go... well, someone's opened my ears since then! Like it a lot :-)
A girl I know just asked me to write a song for her... Afterwards, I told her, "Be careful what you wish for!"
So this is my most recent tune, written and recorded in June of 2012... It'll be on this year's album, 'Footprints In The Hourglass...'
And here's another!
Nice work guys.
I don't seem to understand enough about what you're doing to make sensible comments. Except this - I like it, keep doing it!
Yes.
You're exploring a slightly different place than I am, but several times recently I've clicked on one of yours just to see "what's cooking" and each time you take me closer to this different place.
I'm starting to feel that vaisvil tunes are essential "Andrew Russe listening"! :-)
The first of 4 tunes coming your way with
the spotlight on my friend "Michael Thomas of Cave Street"

This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.
Until Then (Shine…
Missed this originally. Love it.
I'm a sucker for songs with the word "shine" in anyway (I've used it several times over the years, myself). I just LOVE the word and the concept of "shine" when it's applied to humans - seems to be a really powerful trigger. I would use it in every song I write if I could!!! (Would kind of waste it's power though lol)
And this one doesn't waste it... a really beautiful song and performance. Faved.
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
This song is about a friend of ours back in 2009. A lot of people called it very strange because she lost her 2 children, Husband, Mother and Father all in one week and they died of natural causes. One night she couldn't take it anymore she was…
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…
This is a fine version - listened to it a couple of times. Lovely performance. Even with the ad lib!! So glad to know for certain that it's not just me that finds that particular ad lib making it's way onto my recording machine :-)
BTW - It all seems to be on the left channel of the stereo, though - is that what you intended?
[in memory of YC]
[work in progress - comments welcome]
You say
I doesn’t matter what I say
All the time we spent is gone now
Taken out
You cry
I'm not even asking why
Your head's up in the sky now
Your alive
When I ask you to explain…
I've commented before, but this started playing after listening to something else.
And I had to comment again: I LOVE this song and your vocal. (You asked for comments - the ONLY thing that distracts me is the popping on the mic on the lead vocal, I'd want you to address that. I suspect you want to work on the lead guitar - I think you can almost leave that if you want, the song and the vocal is where this is at for me).
Wish I could Favourite it again! :-)
Garn/Landry (And I barely deserve any credit for this one at all)
A while back, Jim recorded a rough version of this song, and upon listening to it, I was thrown back to a day from my youth. While vacationing in Vermont, a small twister throwing…
I was listening to Jims beautiful instrumental and it struck a chord ...so here it is Thanks Jim.....
Shadow of a man (Lyrics)
As i look in the water i see a reflection of what i was
i see the strong man who could have done what ever he wants…
This works :-)
I'm still very fond of the original instrumental, so I was a bit worried what might have happened. But no, no need to have worried... this is great. Obviously the focus is on the vocal instead of the fantastic guitars, but I like the contrast in the styles of the two of you. And great lyrics.
Nice work chaps!
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Aww brilliant,the rabbit hole is a comfortable place to be. I see you have visited here often.
Vocals, guitar, bass guitar and overall production is on point. Sounds good!
beautiful lyrics “ my heart was broken when the last girl found it” ... love the backer bouncing along nicely ... Loved your phrasing... did I say I loved it ... downloaded and saved ......forever
Love the song, I will now get to know more of your music. Awesome creation
Incredible vocals. The song reminds me of something that would heard in a Tim Burton movie.
Unique with a few fun twists like “we still don’t know how long to wait .... forever”. Love it
Wow...just wow. Andrew, this sounds great, and I love the song. Beautifully done!
Life on Mars - like
Lyrics, melody....well crafted mate
Killer guitar tones, again great vocals man, dry and in my face- and again, the emotion comes thru- great !
Hey man - first i want to thank you for listening and commenting on our stuff - i am guilty of not spending much time on the Atone - anyway - this track is killer man! The melody is playful yet the lyrics seem a bit sarcastic, kinda intense. Love your voice too
Beautifully played and sung
Amazing lyrics - an incredibly bittersweet tribute...
A touching song! well written and performed love the middle 8 very much enjoyed! KC
Love this.... mysterious and sad and lovely....
We, in our depiction of that night in the old West would have said, "...a hot cup of coffee."
"And Blazey’s left her homework on the trainEven though they’re thirsty They don’t stop to get a drink..." forever lines...
It's like you are channeling Bowie from a slightly different planet.
I have had similar response to Bjork and Kate Bush lately...
Love the way you stretch and twist the chords.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Very smooth. Lovely live feel. Fine song and arrangement. And what a voice the man has! :-)
Rockin!! Almost convinced me to put away the acoustics and start doing some electric again. Loved it.

I love the title though, so I just gave it another go... well, someone's opened my ears since then! Like it a lot :-)
I like this. I need to check out more of your stuff.
And here's another! Nice work guys. I don't seem to understand enough about what you're doing to make sensible comments. Except this - I like it, keep doing it!

Yeah... nice version. Some lovely strat sounds there.
Nice one :-)
Wonderful :-)
Why have I never heard this before? It's beautiful.
I found this very moving - even before I read the description.
This is mighty fine listening.
You guys are crazy! lol But what really impresses me is that there's some seriously crazy musicianship going on with it. Love the guitar playing.
Surprised no comments yet! I kinda like this
Oh yes... Not heard this before. But like the other comments, what a fantastic voice. And a magical song and performance.
