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

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.

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!

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.

Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.
The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…
This is a real grower. I appreciated it when you first posted it, but it didn't grab me personally - i was in a different place, I guess.
But listening again today - woo... I been grabbed :)
My wife got me a mandolin for either Christmas or a birthday and I think this was one of the first songs I wrote on it.
My Father
Here in this foreign land
The Lord God takes my hand
One day - the Promised Land
And no more I’ll cry…
This song comes from comparing my behavior to that of my children. And I have found out that history does indeed repeat itself.
Thanks for stopping by to listen. I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find them.

Really enjoyable 3/4 hour listening to your stuff so far - stopped me going and sorting out the rhythm section on the thing I'm working on (gave me some ideas though!)
Looking forward to hearing more :)
I cried a river
lot's of songs and tears have been named and shed by this same title
we did a little Micheal Jackson from J5 days 70's
recorded in LA by Brian Clark and Amit Bustan
This is the one that brought me in. I saw "Achilles Last Stand" on the recently posted and thought "you gotta be kidding me?!!" lol
I didn't even realise it was a live recording first time (on the naff PC speakers).
FABULOUS version - and now I know you can do those vocals live.
Tell the rest of the guys "WOW!" as well :)
Another fabulous vocal.
You guys have definitely got something going for me. Songs, superb arrangements, musicianship, your voice on top...
Classy emotional stuff.
Summer Sun
Sitting in the summer sun
The heat warms the soul
Sitting reminiscing
Got no particular place go
life is all around me
The motion of the birds and bees
Is like heaven to me
Heaven to me

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.....

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.

Magnificent.

I love the "broken rhythm" riff under the "I'm tired of all your broken promises". And another of those vocals...
Another superb vocal.

Superb. This one switched me from the naff PC speakers to the headphones. What a vocal.... wonderful song. Love it.
Wooo. Rocking stuff. And a fine song. And I love your vocals.
Very very tasty
Oh yeah - a 20 second fave...
This has been one of my favourites for years. Real nice version. And some very tasty guitar going on in there.
Funky :)

Oooh yeah... A new one. And I love it :) (And I'm only halfway through it lol)
