This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.

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…
Nice version of a great old song...
Alex Harvey is regarded as the writer around here. Saw him at the Rubaiyat in Dallas back in 1975. More recently , at the Blue Bird in Nashville. He just came in unannounced with his buddies and sort of took over the place. Tanya Tucker was 13 when she recorded this song and it was what made her famous until she got too into her Elvis thing. Then Married Glen Campbell and that went real bad.

I like the Tanya Tucker version. I have to tell you this is pretty professional and all, but I sort of wish you guys had traded verses to sing rather than just lines. I wanted to hear the particular singer go on a little longer. But it is great cover of a great old song.

OK, I'm hooked. I just hit the replay button again.
Great vocal synergy between the two of you, and the resonator guitar . . . well . . . it just brings it over the top.

Ah! Tanya Tucker - that was the name!!
And, er, DAW? What DAW?! No DAWs in use here! lol
I usually synch vocals by singing them again until they're right... We didn't really have that luxury, though - in the end I've got quite fond of the "rough and ready" vibe on it (it did bug me at first!)

This is one of my favourite songs of Helen Reddy's (although that's already a cover of the Tanya Tucker version)!
Nice, bluesy rendition. :) The vocals are heavily out of sync though - you should fix that in your DAW.
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago

Whispered roars that fade away

Only (C) heard…
Oh it's just fab.
You've actually got me singing along on this one. Doesn't happen too often - I'm usually sat hear listening and thinking, but this one had me singing out loud.

OH WOW!!
I saw this arrive the other day but didn't have time to listen. Then I saw the reaction it was getting, so I thought, ooo he must have hit the spot with this one...
I've been saving it up for the right moment lol (7.45 am on sunny saturday at the start of two weeks off - that'll do!)
And WOW! You've definitely hit the spot. Love it.
This is wonderful! And I wasn't going to listen to it! lol
But I was finishing my comment to Love Interruption and the rhythm started up. Interesting, I thought, so I kept it on...
I love how you guys play with it.
I definitely want to hear more from you :-)
Yep, nice one. The two of you are playing off each other nicely here.
The vocals have this really relaxed authority to them.
Want to hear more!
Faved and followed.

Lyrics:
Oh little girl won't you tell me what you were looking for when you came to this place?
You've got friends, but not many of them like to be seen.
Oh…
I hadn't realised you had a new one up - I forgot to click follow last time (sorted now lol)... jaraimondimusic turned me on to this one.
With him all the way - why ain't you signed? What is the world at? They could sell this stuff...
Hell, if I had a record company I'd be sending the boys round...
Superb song, superb arrangement, superb singing... superb.
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
Aww... how does you make your strat sound like that? lol
Mine used to sound like that but I seem to have mellowed. I'm going to have to refind this vibe.
Now, do you have version of Stone Free hiding in the vaults? If so, I want to hear it.
One Last Christmas 2011 – SKEEN
So this is our festive holiday,
A time for forgiveness, a time to pray…
You say that our future’s all but gone, mmm
Gone are the thoughts of our world as one
You say it’s all over; forget everyone, yeh

This Guy's In Love With You Skeen Remix 120728(Burt Bacharach)
You say, this guy, this guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love, who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile, I can tell we know each other, very well
How can, I show…
Lionel the hermit crab - Skeen Remix 120607
Lionel the hermit crab lives by the sea, oh yeh
He looks a little bit like you, a little bit like me,
Lionel the hermit crab doesn't have no friends, oh no
He'll live his life alone in his shell…
I wondered what the "last" one would be like... can't top the rest can it?
Yes.
This is utterly, utterly brilliant. It had me in hysterics, the "spare wimin" (the wife's friends over for Pimms) actually looked in from the conservatory to see what I was doing. Not entirely sure how she explained it, I'll find out later...
Another Lover - SKEEN 110204
Skeen Remix 120608
How I wish I could tell, why my heart seems to swell into a restless state of worry,
But it seems right now, there's just no way how,
It's impossible to say I'm sorry..
There's a look in your…
You don't even know me - Skeen Remix 120611
Met you in a cocktail bar
That look you gave me from afar
Made me wonder if we'd share
A little fun and some Alpine air
Made me wonder if we'd share a lifetime
You're my life-line
I'd like…
Sensory Overload - SKEEN 110204
Remix 130401

How do we find, a better future?
How do we mend, such a broken past?
Free to laugh at what…

Verse 1:
I kick off my shoes though I feel like a run
I tried to go to work but the work’s all done
I wanna cut it out,
but all that I can think about is you, on - ly you
Always on…
Another one! A lovely song.
And I haven't mentioned the superb musicianship and clarity of these recordings yet.
Might as well do it on this one.
The musicianship and clarity of the recordings are... er.. superb!

I like it a bunch.....So did Kimmy
Beautiful Andrew!
Splendid.

A couple of pros. Nice track ya'll.
Sneaking some collab action in. Nice , oh so very nice! Makes me happy to hear this. ;)
Nice job, wonderful harmony.....
Spectacular vocals & harmonies , just so good - a wonderful pairing guys

Great sound :)
i dig you man!
cool raw rock an roll bro!
Nailed it.
Very nice production :)
Nice one guys,like it!
OK, I'm hooked. I just hit the replay button again. Great vocal synergy between the two of you, and the resonator guitar . . . well . . . it just brings it over the top.
Fab' vocals and a spotless production make a great song!

Your original songs are the best ones. Great stuff, Andy!

Well this is pretty amazing too - not heard it before. Great song and lyrics. But yeah, what a voice.

I like this a lot. The vocal is incredible, love it
Nice one. Great story-telling. I love the laid back voice and delivery.
Well, while I've got the wife's attention for music, I thought I'd play her this one as well... Mrs R verdict - Stunning.
OH NO! I couldn't resist playing Mrs Russe this one. Apparently it's about time to put the tree up now.... Sigh...
And she's actually singing along to this one (gulp) lol
My wife loves this too. "I like this song anyway, but this is REALLY good"
I wondered what the "last" one would be like... can't top the rest can it? Yes. This is utterly, utterly brilliant.

Sheeesh... lol At first, I thought "ah, here's one I don't need to favourite" - but you got me with the chorus...
Sigh...
I'm running out of words... Sensory overload kinda sums it up, actually...
Utterly wonderful. Spine tingling listening. And WHAT a vocal performance.
Another one! A lovely song. And I haven't mentioned the superb musicianship and clarity of these recordings yet. Might as well do it on this one. The musicianship and clarity of the recordings are... er.. superb!
