The old tin geetar...
Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
THIS IS THE OLD YEURGH MIX - THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HIGHER UP THE LIST NOW, FULLY LOVED BY AR. THIS ONE IS LEFT HERE AS A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING OR OTHER (AND IN CASE YOU PREFER IT)
Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…
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 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.

At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

Thanks Andy your on the money... not sure what upset him in the lyrics I can't find anything offensive but hey it takes alsorts to make a world he must have been having a bad day.... And by the way this is still a beauty

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
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…

And Hank!!
What's going on? I'm working on some "modern" crap (I use the term "modern" loosely), and everyone's putting out superb versions of old masters!
Did I miss a memo or something?
Found this old track while backing up my hard drive. It is an alternate tracked played at a slower tempo. I added a quick drum track and ruff remix this morning.
And the Wolf would be happy with this one - I disappear for a few days and everyone's postin blues by the masters.
Oh, shivers down the back of the neck as the track got going... that whacka whacka on the guitar while he's getting the groove - that kinda stuff gets me every time.
Excellent stuff.
Ole Muddy would've been happy.
Excellent version. Jazzy end of bluesy. Wow, it's a superb vocal - it wouldn't matter what backing you put to it, big arrangement, little arrangement, superstars or wotever... this vocal would be the main show.
Love the sigh at the end lol
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.
Lyrics & Music by Nick Plagakis
I count my blessings…
Wrote this after hearing on the radio of a bloke who ran off to France with his underage girlfriend and guess what? he's doing time (asshole) Thanks to Lady Jane for backing vocals
Ooh yeah, nice one. Love the vibe...
Just been reading about Percy Bysshe Shelley (France, underage girlfriends)... and just now me and the missus were talking about the possibilities of flute (always makes me think of Ian Anderson when I consider flute)...
And then I hear this little beautie. Excellent.
I haven't mixed the song yet - it's really raw. Hopefully, I'll have it done by next month.
Lyrics/Music by Nick Plagakis
Am I a fool to love you
Am I a fool to trust you
You took my heart
And broke it apart
Now you come back
Looking…
Another excellent bit of music by Geas.........and we co wrote the lyrics..that surgens knife works wonders.........Thanks Geas
Sometimes (Lyrics)
Sometimes i hear a whisper
sometimes i hear a scream
sometimes i don’t know whats happening…
Actually this version really works. First time round I really missed drums and bass. But when the vocals are going it sounds like Reg and Les are utterly made for each other.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Lovely . . . Lovely . . . Lovely . . .
one of your best.
You have a lot of talent and skill, Andrew. I'm enjoying going through your songs. You sound like Jack Bruce sometimes (compliment)
Amazing track Andrew!! Loved it!
Very nice song. terrific arrangement.
Can't believe I missed this beauty .....
Thanks Andy your on the money... not sure what upset him in the lyrics I can't find anything offensive but hey it takes alsorts to make a world he must have been having a bad day.... And by the way this is still a beauty
Found this one just now... WOW this is just awesome. Amazing lyrics....
Powerful stuff. Great production & really "live" feel. Superb vocal too. Excellent... loved it :-)
Nice job! I like the hard edge guitars
Excellent Sir .....always a pleasure
Nice one :)
I love it as it is.
Supersaucy.
Totally fantastic. So "you". Really dig the low slung vox in the verses especially.
You ponderous beastie, you. Kinda retro in feel but tight like a drum.
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Excellent instrumentation and the Lyrics weave in and out perfectly!
Oh yes I like this Lyric , like it like it
Your writing is always just amazing. Great song!!!
Top drawer. ..yes; Waterloo, where 40 something thousand lives were 'flushed' and a fortune made for others..

Cool version. Les coming along nicely - you'll have to raise your game soon to keep up with him.
Brilliant. In-yer-face sound from the start. Love the lyrics. Superb track.
How did I miss this? Love it.
Don't know the original, but I like this.
Oooh yeah, like this one a lot
Aha! Just noticed that you guys have appeared on here. Nice one.
Oh yeah, this is going to work.
Well that was a jolly little three minutes... Like it.
Well, that's a relief then...
Oh yes, nice collab.
Superb. Love the vocals - shiver down the spine stuff...

Sounds like he's taking over :)
