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.

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…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…

My mate Dave did his Ringo bit for this one. He came with some songs title's. I was messing about in Open A (I think ) and came up with this. Thanks to Dave for the Harmonica.
Been meaning to enhance this one for years, it's about 4 years old, sure it came about after a trip to Liverpool. The Cavern Club's not the real one, but what a great sound in there. Thanks to the Good Wife for the vocals.
Ok, this came out while messing around with the original, which one I like best, I can't make my mind up. As always sure you guys will put me right !!!!
Ok I need a lay down now. Been meaning to revamp this for years, still in DADGAD tuning, original sounded to much of a dirge, come to think of it, hope this don't !!!!!!
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In other words, they don't know what's causing it. And haven't been able to come up with a cure either.

The first of an album of collaborations with Freight Drive Reprobates. I'm interested to see what we come up with next. Enjoy!

And Hank!!
What's going on? I'm working on some "modern" crap (I use the term "modern" loosely), and everyone's putting out superb versions of old masters!
Did I miss a memo or something?
Found this old track while backing up my hard drive. It is an alternate tracked played at a slower tempo. I added a quick drum track and ruff remix this morning.
And the Wolf would be happy with this one - I disappear for a few days and everyone's postin blues by the masters.
Oh, shivers down the back of the neck as the track got going... that whacka whacka on the guitar while he's getting the groove - that kinda stuff gets me every time.
Excellent stuff.
Ole Muddy would've been happy.
Excellent version. Jazzy end of bluesy. Wow, it's a superb vocal - it wouldn't matter what backing you put to it, big arrangement, little arrangement, superstars or wotever... this vocal would be the main show.
Love the sigh at the end lol
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.

I count my blessings…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Great stuff.....
Aw that's ace. Nice one guys!
And a very nice broom cupboard it is too... still think we should have done some AC/DC :P
Really like this 'ballad with a cutting edge' Angus...great track! Dave B
Still love this song....
Great song, great vocals!
This deserves another WOOF!
Andrew..... if you keep this up ..... I'm gonna give song writing... Amazing man.....
Like!
Great stuff Mr Russe!
Completely full of soul! w;-)
I am not now afraid to go naked, 5comets from here. loved the female backup voicings
Whoop! Much awesomeness here... love it! I couldn't help but sing harmonies to the 'She says' bit :)
Love the SOUL you put into this vocal! Great job!
Very well done. Especially like the vocals. The drums sound great as well.
Well done.
Ooh I like when the band jumps in full force. Nice punchy mix. That is a nice throw back riff and solo at the outro.
Smooth yet lightly grungy, like hot sauce on egg salad -- delicious! Rock on!
FMGWABP!
Nice and tight. Very clean recording. Well done Andrew. It would be fun to hear the acoustic version.

Aw, I LOVE this one. Everything fits perfectly, gorgeous track.
Like this one too, but my money's on the fun remix :)
Love this version... on to the next!
Love that DADGAD, I don't practice it often enough to make it sound this slick.
Rockin stuff, and a harp solo too. Like it.
Oh yes, rocking. Love the guitars.
Wow! Wasn't expecting that! Nice one.
Fabulous, beautiful
Wow! Hope you got the leather gear... Rocking.
Nice one.

Classy stuff. Love the stripped down but full sound.
