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…

Title Track - RPM 2013
we all clap our hands to the beat as the beat goes by
jazz & poetry in the fifties almost died
Rock n roll became the goal as people slicked back there hair
Rock, Rock and roll , the parent were in despair
Elvis was…
Entry #2 RPM 2013
Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…
Entry #1 RPM 2013
Anything for You
Some rise early, some rise late
Some're up til morning light, some go to bed at eight
I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to
I guess you know by now, I'll do anything for you
Some like to rock, some…
Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-)
Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.
Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:
SLKrell says it’s a drag
Rosie made him pack his bag
Always…
Well the new women in Regs life became the keeper and his wife and they lived happily ever after...well up to now anyway...Reg can never seem to keep the pessimistic thoughts totally at bay but he was trying...He felt reborn on the birth of his…
Aww... new PW tracks and my fave button is still busted!! (I clicked it anyway...)
Excellent, as usual, guys... A great listen. Gorgeous feel and sound.
I come in for the Hammond and the drumming, I think, but there is SUCH a tasty guitar break on this one.
5 Stars
Reg is contemplating his future and how to change................So he got the acoustic out and perused the idea.....
The Hurricane (Lyrics)
I stand in the window looking back at me
trying to understand where i got it wrong
how my life could…
YESSS!!
This utterly, utterly hits the spot. Shivers down the spine music for me.
The bass and the guitars, the backing vocals, the minimal lyrics, the way you bring it to a close...
Wonderful.
Oh, I LOVE this. It reminds me of all sorts of influences from my past - you've squeezed elements of nearly every act I like into it and ended up coming out with something that, to me, feels totally original.
Hats off to you, sir.
I've gone a bit Bluesy on this one i got the French Horns out i blame watching BBC4...anyway hope you enjoy....

The night outside was as Black as coal
Her heart was made of stone
i couldn’t find no place to go

Tell me what your got now baby
i’ll tell you what i need
you can give me love cause thats is all i need
i got the need
if you got the love

This is a love song I just wrote. It's the first normal love song I've written since "Western Hills" (i.e., three years). Writing love songs is kind of risky. If it doesn't work out- you're stuck with singing a song with all these unusual associations…
I know what you mean about associations on old songs... I tend to "conveniently forget" any "bad stuff" and just like the thing for what it is - but it seems like my entire life documented in songs!
This one is gorgeous. And I love the intimate recording. I'll be very interested to hear the results if you do work it up to a band production.
rpm #7,, i think this will be the overture, to a small midi orchestral suite, which i hope will finish up as my remaining 3 pieces for this years rpm, but well see how that goes,, thanks for all the helpful comments i have received on this project…
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
My get up and go went some time ago... but this reminds me of it lol
Definitely got the Petty/Springsteen vibe - love it.
If my fave button worked, it would be faved...

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Lovely . . . Lovely . . . Lovely . . .

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..

Superb stuff.
I seem to have embarked on listen No 2 of the whole thing... lol You're right to be proud of it - it's pretty damn good.
Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-) Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.
This is a wonderful track. "Always knew he was filled with sin Now he’s out and I am in" Class!
Gorgeous
I heard this earlier as part of the album. This is a magical track.
Oh, you guys were cooking on these two. Fantastic stuff.

This is a monstrously good vocal.

Aww... fantastic. Have a "virtual" fave :-)
Superb. Another "I wanna fave but it won't let me" track.
Now I just HAD to listen to someone called Andy's Pants, didn't I?! lol Like what you guys are doing - keep doing it. Looking forward to hearing more.
Nice one. Swampy. Fave button still going "There was a problem with that request" unfortunately...

Aw - this is the biz. Love the driving rhythm and the story telling vibe to the lyrics.
Just listened to the whole thing... Masterpiece (the missus likes it too)
