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…

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

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....
Counterfeit(Lyrics)
The night outside was as Black as coal
Her heart was made of stone
i couldn’t find no place to go
God did…
Its Great when a mess around becomes a kinda lost Doors song....
Give me the Love (Lyrics)
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
i got…
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

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.

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)
