I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
I stopped by for another listen this morning. I've seen a few tributes to Gene. It's nice to see that.
It's been a little quiet around here since he's been gone.
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

I like the sound of your voice. You can be gentle or hectic. Both are good. Wish you all the best my friend. I have written your name in my book and will listen to more Helen. X

A collab with Mike_S over from the otherside at songcrafters on his instrumental track King & Country which he kindly took the lead off for me to play with and i came up with this Thanks Mike

"Treasure" is an alt rock song that i wrote.
Lyrics:
Dig it out
Leave it in
Seven inches underground
In the shade of crooked tree
I can't stand another night
Wrap it up in plain white
Lift me up then bring me down
I like having you…
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…

This was all written on the bass - I wanted to get an earthy 70s Rickenbacker bass vibe on this so naturally there's liberal splashes of Moog and Hammond Organ to accompany it.
It's kind of 'prog-lite' and again needs vocals. It's a working…
I managed to work on 16 songs for this year's 50/90 before I did something strummy in 6/8 time. I've started working on another 21 songs since and I've yet to do another one. That will likely change before today ends. Sorry, strummy songs in…
I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar.
I…
Was messing around this afternoon and came up with this .....
let the love come out and play
Now you tell me you’ve nothing to give
Yeh You tell me, you can’t get that hit
You tell me that you want it
You giving me nothing you don’t want…
Well i had lost my mojo and was trying to find it this afternoon and came up with this.....trying to play beyound my ability as always but hey I'm Trying!! Thanks for listening.
What are you trying to prove
You’d set your hair on fire just…
The Interstate Highway system was started in the mid-50s at the height of the Baby Boom era. It was a virgin ribbon of highway stretching out in all directions. We couldn't wait to explore it.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember
Nice vocals! Somewhere between Van Halen and Sammy Hagar.
Good story behind the song! 32 years? It's as smooth as vintage wine.
Great track A, could easily hear it on a 'Family' L.P. in the '70s......
Beautiful track mate
Another AR touch of class Bravo!
Great voice, great song!
I stopped by for another listen this morning. I've seen a few tributes to Gene. It's nice to see that. It's been a little quiet around here since he's been gone.
I've liked just about every tune that I've heard of yours. Keep it up.
Wonderful song, impeccable vocal. most impressive Andrew.
Superb, Andrew!
Good voice, nice lyrics
I will miss his very specific and kind comments.
There's a whole bunch of talent here. x
Very touching tribute.

monto bueno byrawaymaman.
Okay....yes I just read that you had resurrected "Lucy" from snuggly guitar case. Nice:)
Rockin tune. Yes, I agree..has a ZZ vibe for sure. Sounds like a Les Paul standard????
I dig this arrangement as well. :) I like the demo's intimate feel.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Woo. DIgging the lyrics.
Whoa! Yeah, that's kinda woken me up!
Cool sounds.
My A grade in O-level Russian (over 40 years ago! I'm getting old!) gets me as far as "Black City" ... but not much further... Mighty cool track.
Ooooh yeah... ROCKS. Love it. Love the lyrics.
Oh yeah... this washes over me nicely.
Kinda trippy. Love those guitars.
Like it. Relaxing at first, then kind of unsettling. Love the sounds.
Very cool sounds
Awww... second listen... it's gorgeous. Do some more!!! :)
Oh flip... YESS! Love it. Great to hear new stuff from you... and Norm too! Mighty cool. Love that guitar with the stereo delay.
Nearly missed this! Digging the bass sound...
6/8 is good :) ... cool set of songs in this batch. Keep going!!! :)
Oh yeah this one stands out big time. Love the build up. Love the space under the lead.
Yep. Mojo regained.
Yeah like it. Sounds like your mojo has been dragged kicking and screaming from wherever it was hiding.
Cool sounds.
Oh yeah. Nice one.
Hehe. Moonshine Tonic and ABBA. That'll do me.
Nice one Roger. NOT naff at all!
