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...

**Nobody Loves You - A A J Russe**
Nobody loves you
Like you…
I enjoyed the demo version immensely and then this was up next. This brought an already great track up to the next level! It was a real pleasure to hear these back to back.
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…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!

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…

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 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

AH! Here it is :)
And it's INSPIRED! Love what you've done with the piano - I wondered how you'd deal with making an arrangement... And the vox - woof!
Well, if Percy doesn't want to play, perhaps Mr Page ought to get in touch with you?
OK, I admit it, I don't really hold Led Zeppelin IV in the reverence many LZ fans do! I guess this song is one of the reasons for that... I'll give you A- on this one(!) but it's mainly the material you're forced to work with - tell them Page/Plant guys to buck their ideas up! hehe
another back to basics Zep this one goes out to Martin where ever he is ...he died getting on for 14 years ago but he's not forgotten ...Happy birthday for tomorrow man.....
Wasn't too sure where this was going during the intro, then when the vocals started I saw it all... This is a FABULOUS version. I've always had a love/hate/indifference relationship with this song. It's one of the few where Robert Plant's lyrics got in the way for me. But you carry it off superbly. At 5:26 I was left thinking "why isn't there more?"
A Facebook Friend posted a picture of a
sign hanging on a tree that had the words
to the first verse. I couldn't leave well
enough alone...I Googled the verse and
found it was written by Dallas Clayton.

I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....

Just realised that I didn't make it obvious in the blurb... I was actually doing my utmost to sound like early ZZ Top once I'd realised what was happening. The vox and instrumental got performed and recorded with that in mind. So I'm kinda relieved/gratified that folks can spot the ZZ Top in there!!
This song pretty much sums up my life right now. No direction and no ambition.
Maybe because it's SpringTime and Love is in the air.
In keeping with the romantic nature of the season, it features:
BANJO . . . . . The instrument made…
Recorded when we weren't sure how close to the 35-minute mark we were getting for the RPM Challenge... And every second counts.
Besides, we didn't have any "woos" on the album. And woos always make an album better

I'm glad you did decide to share this. The slide and shake guitar is outstanding!
This track is fabulous. The way it blows up in the chorus is fantastic! Beautiful lyrics my friend!
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.

Now this one got me thinking... perhaps you should dip into the Howling Wolf catalogue itself? You've got the voice for it. Tasty blues vocal.
Whereas this one on IV... always liked it. Quite surprised how much I like it without all the bombast. Cool version.

Wooo! Rockin. Nice one guys.
The anon verse is gorgeous - and you matched it. Lovely stuff.
That's the stuff. I'm with Merry Bear over that banjo.
Yep :-) What a vocal.
Brilliant!
Love it.
And this gets the toes tapping.
Like the insistent riff on this.
Real nice. I'll have slice :) (Actually, it's made me realise, I don't get cherry pie round here, Mrs R doesn't like it... hmmm)

Woo! That's quite spacey.
Perfect end to a hard day spent watching the men install our new boiler... (I did manage to restring a strat and a tele while they were doing it)
Woo! Cool album :-)
Aww love it to bits. The lyrics and their delivery are superb. I'm liking the wandering between major and minor in the chords.
GREAT for jamming along to! (It was only halfway through it I thought "duh, SRV!" hehe) Nice one.
