This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…

Hi Andrews! Pleased to meet you here on this wonderful site, and thanks for the kind words on my tracks earlier this week.
I really like this song! A great story, and so richly delivered. I look forward to listening to more of your music!

Just posted a remix of this one - I was never happy with the old one and couldn't figure out why...
I finally did yesterday - the vocals were mixed too loud!
So I lowered the vox and took some bottom end off the band (thanx Stoman - You were right!)
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D
Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :)
The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.

Theatrical and remniscent of Meat Loaf and late Freddie Mercury at times in delivery, feel. Thanks very much as well Andrew for the nice words on some my trax.

Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…
Aww... this SO needs the busted fave button...
What a return!
Fabulous.
Wonderful groove, excellent vox, and a really catchy chorus.
And the instrumental - bliss...
And then how the lead vox steps out from backing vox after the instrumental. I assume it's intentional, but if not - DO NOT FIX IT!
Superb track.
Excellent performance by Gene on programmed drums, rhythm guitar and bass, with Farrell on lead guitar. I'm on vocals. Hope you enjoy us on this old Zep Classic................

This is the fourth of seven for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. I think this was the first thing I worked on, but everything is so disorganized right now that I haven't got a clue anymore.
Four part harmonies in the chorus. Yes, a first for me. Sure…
The "umph" heard round the world.

This is a very old tune that finally got recorded the way I had always envisioned it. The only thing missing is real drums, but I think the midi drums could be worse. :)
Guitars: Frank Zax
Bass: Andy Gupta
Music &…
We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
awesome cover!!! One of my favorite songs. Beautiful harmony
Hi Andrews! Pleased to meet you here on this wonderful site, and thanks for the kind words on my tracks earlier this week. I really like this song! A great story, and so richly delivered. I look forward to listening to more of your music!
Oh, yes, the new version sounds even better. The bass still sticks out a little on some notes, but overall it sounds great.
Just posted a remix of this one - I was never happy with the old one and couldn't figure out why... I finally did yesterday - the vocals were mixed too loud! So I lowered the vox and took some bottom end off the band (thanx Stoman - You were right!)
This one really tickled me. Great job!
The more I listen to this the more I like it.
Still love this classic of yours
Great stuff Angus love it!

excellent blending of instruments, voice and sounds/textures. Good drums too.
Love this. So much drama. Great contrasts.
Theatrical and remniscent of Meat Loaf and late Freddie Mercury at times in delivery, feel. Thanks very much as well Andrew for the nice words on some my trax.
Great keys mate nice track and thanks for your comment
Very interesting story. Your music catches the mystery of it.
As usual your work shines. Keep on keepin' on.
Damn! That is one fine piece of work! Love all the different layers that are going on
Nice one - great sounds here.
Wow . . . this one raised the standard. Nice job Andrew.
Wow, truly EPIC! amazing vocals! I like the summary of what inspired it too.
Progtastic!!!

...Phew! lol Like it. A more sprawling and spaced-out take on it.
This better be good... (fave LZ song)
Nice one. Like the harmonies - do more. And very tasty guitar playing.
Oh crumbs, yes, very splendid geetar. And sounds fabulous.
:)
Oh yes, like it.
Like how you're using the delays for harmonies. Tasty playing.
Woo! (widdly-woo? lol) That's pretty darn impressive.
Gorgeous sound!
Don't know the original... Like this, though :)
Short and sweet! I'm intrigued as to how this is all going to fit together.
Oh yes, and this one.
This one grabs me a lot.
Nice one. Good to hear new stuff from you.
"Perhaps I should have done it before Masterclass 1 and 2" Classic.
Shaping up nicely :)
Yep, he showed 'em... Nice one.
I think you got away with it though. Doesn't quite breath like some of yours usually do, but it's still a gorgeous listen.
Gorgeous sounds.
