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.

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…

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…

With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
An instrumental guitar tune which combines some flashy rock "guitar hero" stuff with a strong melody. Couldn't think of a title so I just did what I always do in that situation... nick the name of an old movie from the '50s
Well that's been a very enjoyable half hour, welcome to alonetone. Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff.
I'll just go and practice a bit now...!
Ah! I wondered when a "Hank" vibe would appear - I just knew you could do it... Masterful stuff.
Gorgeous tones. Are you mic'ing up "real amps" or modelling?
Like Kavin says - wow...
When this one started I thought "ah, won't grab me so much" (jazz is not something I've ever made much effort to get into, and the opening chords/stops announced themselves as "not your thing andrew") - but then... wow
(and when the stops arrived again at the end - I was well into it!)
A little jazz-funk for your delectation. My homage to Jeff Beck's 1975 masterpiece album "Blow By Blow". The title is the name of a Lee Child book I was reading at the time I was writing the tune.
Loving your stuff so far. Although I'm a guitarist, it's not often "guitar only" music holds my attention for more than a track or so - but you're managing it easily!
A little experiment... what would happen if you took a Gypsy jazz tune in the style of Django Reinhardt & played it with a rock band type line up? I reckon it might sound a bit like this :-)
A demo recorded live for the band THE BIG BAD DOG

A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
i've used the same chord progression as i have eyes but speeded it up quite a bit....Hope you enjoy!!
LET IT LOOSE
you don’t know me and i don’t know you
so lets get together and stop feeling blue
lets shake it out and lets get this thing…

When Layla comes over everything stops
When Layla comes over I put on my socks
I put on my shoes. I put on my shirt.

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
dig it from the first note cool guitars and bass & vocals downloaded...thanks! KC
Very impressive ! love it
I love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one That you decide to wear." Because of you voice you use and the sounds it says the object of their desire/affections is David Bowie.My favorite line, among many is, And Blazey’s left her homework on the train." And, It’s never crossed their minds that you might fail."
Still love this tune...
great vocals....amazing pipes you've got there!
Excellent song. Well written and performed Andrew. Reminiscent of early Bowie for me, but unique and stylish in it's own right.
brilliant, love the guitar work !!!
wow, cool !
Nice work. Many of us would like to be able to play and sing as well as you, I'm betting.
Love it. Well played and very ZZ. Keep on rocking!
You like that girl, I like this song :-)
really good !
Takes me back to the days of great 70's era rock. Tops!!!!!
Missed this one. Nice breakdown section....sounds like red SG doodling :)
It's great the way you play different styles. Keep on rocking.
Brilliant. Love the atmosphere...
My condolences ...
The lady died. Yesterday, I believe. RIP Ally Sixsmith, thinking of you xxxxx
wow, wonderful ! This is really smooth and soulful. It has a bit of a Kinks vibe.
Andrew never disappionts , good stuff

Now I know what you were wearing, this makes more sense to me... Gorgeous vocal

OK... haha! I was just thinking of dusting off my fiesta red strat... and then this kicks off... perhaps I'll play one of the teles instead. Love it.

Tasty. Very tasty.
Oh yes! Nice one
The Big Bad Dog is a rocking little combo. Love it.
This is shaping up real nice... crying out for the right bassist. Loving what you guys are doing together.
Rockin stuff.
Wow! This works. Nice one folks.
Aww this is fabulous
NICE. It's got a wonderful feel to it. Love the "Doo-do-do-doo" choruses.
LOVE IT I get the feeling this isn't the first version of this that I've heard? Have you posted a different version before?
The guitars have a particularly nice bite on this one. And like Ms Sky says... You ROCK Looking forward to hearing more
Rocks, big time
