Very nice, sir. ER

Lovely stuff, Mr Russe. Your voice is sounding very cool indeed. Great control - great story telling, showed off perfectly in this stripped down arrangement. Lala, x.

outstanding cover, fantastic vocals.

Excellent

Ooh I love a little Rocker !!!

Yep agree Cool man

Really like this one mate.

This is great!

Really cool cover.

Really cool mate.

Really nice song Andy, I've often thought that one man and a guitar is the hardest thing to put over. There's nowhere to hide. No need to worry about this. If I had only read the lyrics it would be enough, to have them to music is a bonus.

Perfect to start the day. Thank you.

Apllause......beautiful command. I could here your voice in film music. Great once again AR.

Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.

A beauty of song beautifully performed Bravo.....

It's three mics. A Rode NT1000 large condensor for the vocal. The guitar had two SM57s on it, one at the 12th fret, one just below the bridge, panned hard left and right. If I had more condensors I'd use them on the guitar - when I track things separately I always use the Rode on an acoustic (unless it's a resonator, that pushes a condensor too hard) - using the 57s like this seems to produce are fair amount of hiss!

sounds great. What microphone are you using?

If I had a pound for every time I played this I could probably buy a very nice Gibson, but I would love to have done it just like this. I bet this was closer to how it was written.

Nice take on a great cover.

Nice job Andrew! I really like the laid back feel to it. Your voice is especially good. Great cover of a great song.

It's definitely worth following Bethan around on this site... Fine, fine song. I love "She wants the truth... she says" ... ALL boys need teaching this (before they find out disasterously for themselves) lol

I keep coming back to this one as well. Such feel-good music.

And I need another listen to this as well. This is gorgeous, utterly gorgeous.

Back for another listen. It's early morning, I'm having a coffee and doing some emails and a bit of listening before disappearing back into the room with too many guitars. The one I'm working on now isn't acoustic, but this is what I wanted to listen to first. This is kinda uplifting and the right thing to start with :)

Right from the opening guitar notes... (faved right then, didn't care what might follow!) ... stately stuff, superb. I've been fave-ing a lot of stuff recently, this is one where I felt like I needed a "super-fave" button... Love it.

Ah, I remember this kinda stuff. Don't listen to it much at all nowadays, but it's nice to hear every now and then. This reminds me of "Ultimate Sin" period Ozzy - can't remember who the guitarist on that is (probably someone really famous in the guitar world!). And Ronnie James Dio - WHAT a voice that guy had... I'm with captgene on this one - "Rocks"

Short and sweet... but what a tone! Made me think of Jack Black in School of Rock - I think this one qualifies as a "face-melting solo" lol

And a new one from T as well! Bliss... This is wondrous. Love the "Three thousand pennies..." line.

It's just past 8am on a Saturday morning, no work, thank goodness. Got my strong black coffee and cigarette... ... and this is the first thing I hear. What a set-up for the day. Fabulous... Many thanks

Hey, second listen, the hook is there!!

Aww yeah... fabulous Not sure that I'm going to get involved in the fest myself, but if I do get time, this was the main one I wanted to do but I couldn't figure out how to approach it. I'd have wanted to strip the famous hook out as well, but I couldn't see what was left that I could make something of... THIS on the other hand is exactly what's left and you've grabbed it by the short and curlies. Fine job sir.

Tasty. Does sound very summery - almost enough to block out the rain going on here. Maybe it's cos I'm a guitarist, but I felt no "rambling on" without the vocal. It's almost got an Allman Brothers vibe to it.

I've listened to them in the wrong order! But, hey, it's fabulous. I see how this fits on the front of John Capulator.

I was about to comment when I listened earlier but a bunch of other stuff happened. Really like this. Very atmospheric. And like B says, some fantastic guitar all the way through. The lyrics weren't up when I first listened, and I wasn't really listening to the words, but the moods the music and vocal were painting really fits the words. Nice one

It is! (ah and you've added an about, and stuck them in the title) SUPERB version

WOW! Brilliant version (it is what I think it is, isn't it?). If it isn't... er... brilliant anyway! Love it.

Just realised I hadn't listened to this... There's quite an amazing breadth of styles you handle. I feel like I do electric stuff and acoustic stuff, but it's all pretty much rock-pop with hints of blues, country, and folk in varying degrees. The only time I step out of this is if I approach the recording machine without a finished song and just wing it (rarely finish any of those though!). Another nice one :-)

Another cutie...

Love this one. Brilliant lyrics, and a gorgeous quirky performance. I like how you fly by the seat of your pants on songs - you seem to be treading a thin line between genius and disaster. For my money you're falling off on the genius side with this one. I always aim at solid and dependable - I've got a feeling I could learn something from your songs.

lol - that'll teach me to post before the owner has fixed the title etc... Good excuse to give it a second listen. And reading the "About" now - yeah, I thought David Bowie when I was listening to "75e67 c5 etc" (actually, that might have been what made me think of David Bowie!)
