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...

A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

Yes, I love it. The subtle/strong cadences switch around enough to easily glide through 4+ minutes. Well done with that - I'm inspired to try something lengthy that doesn't sound like it has filler in it.
The heart of the song's meaning kept you from hitting the delete button - That's what makes me like it even more!

More roars... What a voice you have Mrs Smith.
Many years ago I knew someone who could do this kinda thing. Me and my drummwer used to sit at the foot of her mic stand at her gigs, she sat at the foot of my mic stand at ours ... we only spoke to each other once, just to say "hi" lol
Bonding with a new guitar
Bittersweet is not just for chocolate
If you put any more change in my pocket
I'd sink in a bathtub
Since I've been gone
You've moved on
Everything's different
but the feelings remain
yet another sign of change
A…
Love it. It was one of my favourite songs when I was little.
This is a gorgeous version - I was expecting a more "wailing" version, which is what I'm used to... so this was a surprise. It's superb.
Back the car, down the boulevard
Right up on the beach
And when the sea, comes crashing in
You, won't hear a thing
There's dreams, painted above the waves
And their caps at your feet
With light-house on point, fisherman beyond
Blue and…
Who's that knocking at the door
It's the sand
In the wind
with the truth and more
Seagull in the sky
Soar like an Eagle
Pray in sights
Fly in to the sea
Dive down deep
You will find me
Only then you rise
Phoenix flys
To golden hights…
"I Can't Write Love Song" was inspired by a series of letters written from home to one of our millitary fighting during WWII. The real twist is that these letters were written only a few short years ago.
I was picking up my wife from her job…
The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.
WOOOF! This is a live one isn't it??
Superb stuff. When I was playing live there was two types of sax players: 1. "oh sh1t, does he really have to jam with us, guys?" and 2. "tell you what, I won't bother playing any guitar solos tonight, the sax man can do it all"
You'd be in the second category. Superb :)
Listened to a good few ("Smooth" down here to Hope) while fixing a table before the in-laws come round.
I don't listen to this kind of stuff much, but WOW what a band... really enjoyed it. You guys must be absolutely great live.
Yep, I think I prefer this version. It's real close though - I think it's one of those where the artist hears a big difference and the rest of us go yeah, cool... lol
This did start off as a happy Blues, then I thought there's no such beast, is there ? So a quick rewrite to darken it up a bit. Well that's me for a couple of weeks, Daughter's Wedding Saturday, then off on a 10 day Cruise on Wednesday. You all…
Another with the £16 special.......We know he isn't really i mean he's here with me now in the cellar............
HE’S GONE (lYRICS)
IT WAS A CARELESS LOVE THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
OF COURSE THERE WAS NEVER GONNA BE THE RIGHT KINDA DAY
TO SAY GOODBYE…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
This is "Bonus Hockey" Andrew!!! I love the anticipation a slide guitar creates. Reminds me of the solo acoustic live version of "Your Bright Baby Blues" by Jackson Browne.
I hear the Rev Billy Gibbons
I think Rick left some comments on songs of mine, but we never really talked to each other. What a pity to know that we never will.
Another great song!
Very well done!
cool beans... nice structure, very clean. I don't like throwing out comparisons but it feels Three Dog Night-ish!

Another gem A
Nice tribute... really like this version too.
Pure and beautifully performed ....
Like it raw and cool
ohhhh, slide me sad. Great tortured vocal I read the chat about the bass line. I will try to play along to better get the idea.
Solid track Andrew. Top notch.
Amazing. Thanks for posting this version too...
Raw talent is what this shows.
ain't that true.......love it!!
Like it - nice instruments and production.
Simply Stellar Andrew! You hit the mark again!
Wonderful song! Perfect balance of your voice and instruments. The emotion is touching.
Such sad realization...well said/sung.

James beat me to it with the "mid range" comment on the new guitar. Loved that roar from you :)
Love it. It was one of my favourite songs when I was little. This is a gorgeous version - I was expecting a more "wailing" version, which is what I'm used to... so this was a surprise. It's superb.
A wonderful song. Love the "a crown and its frog"
Woo! This is a bit of departure from your recent stuff - wasn't expecting this at all. I'd forgotten that you'll take on anything! Nice one.
Gorgeous vocal on a very fine song. Really interesting story to go with it.
Oh yes. I'm with Kirk on this. Fabulous.
My oh my this sounds good.

Ooooh yeah... smooth as flip. Fine horn playing, very tasty...
Both southern... ... and comforting :)

Listened to all four - fabulous stuff. Hope you're coming back one day.
Cool song - fabulous vocals.
Nice slide.
This sounds mighty fine. Loving the piano.
Nice one. Have a good day on Saturday, and a relaxing time on the cruise... See you on the flip side :)
You're certainly wringing yer £16 worth out of that thing. Excellent stuff.
This is the business. Love the slide, love the vocal, what's not to like? :)
