First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

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.

lol - That's the "Rory" face, Greg... didn't realise how much it came out until I saw this video.
I have a camera now, and I'm currently struggling with how to control my face...
During the course of a song, I seem to wander the entire range of emotions - from intensely "bored" (the "I wonder what the next chord is?" face) to an "utterly bluddy crazy-man coming to get you" look...
Was I really that scary when I was doing gigs?!?!?

I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!

coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.

What beautiful melody . ....a great image is formed from you're lyrics....you must have looked like little lord fontalroy in you suit and shiny shoes I know I did when we went to the family occasions ....a beauty of a song....

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
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…

On my way…
Just a run through in the cellar that turned out pretty cool til the end. I lost my way on the mandolin. The bass track was laid down later. Bless him for trying keep up with the trash I played at the end.
I'm not really sure what the lyrics mean, but I was happy that it would somewhat fit a long the other noises.
This track is the result of an experiment recording different drum sets on top of each other.
There's some gorgeous guitar sounds sneaking around on this. Nice one. I can relate to the lyric... although I don't actually drink milk... or use it my coffee... or... but I do have to buy it for my wife... so ,yeah.
Five songs finished (there will be 11, I think) and as of right now this kid is the single... if I were actually releasing this and needed to release a single... which I'm not.
I also think 90 beats per minute is as fast as any of the songs…
I was gonna do the vacuum cleaning now I've finished work... think I'll listen to this new album instead!! Seems more worthwhile somehow... LOL ... I'm sure the missus will understand :)

Soulful...rewind play again...
Laughed with you on this song. Been there, experienced that. ER
Haven't checked out alonetone in awhile. Really enjoy your work.
Great voice! Great song. Sometimes reminds me of Bowie... And it's a compliment! ;-)
Great voice, great tune....nice job
another great vocal performance. sweet song.
coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.
Like the chord sequences v much!

As wonderful as ever, Mr R x
Love all the acoustics....nice playing ...its a breath of fresh air. More listens on this side of the pond.

I love the guitar. The video . . . Nice addition! Who is that Handsome fella playing the guitar? Well done Andrew! Great song!

Really beautiful cover of 'whiter shade of pale'. Cracking vocal.

And this one is even weirder!! Cool. OK... I'm gonna follow you and check out some more of your stuff :)
Not sure what to make of this ... but I love it!
Wow... I've got a recording somewhere of Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull getting lost on a mandolin - he swears a lot more! ... this track's very cool.
It feels French to me... In a "Cote de Boeuf, vin rouge, frites, fromagerie, lescargot, ou est le bidet" kinda way
I wanted more when it stopped.
Big smile on my face - don't know why, exactly... but yes, the lyrics do fit the other noises.
That was fabulous - cool title too.
Oh WOWWWW... and what guitars they are. I'm kinda guitar focused too... and this is gorgeous.
This too. Looking forward to hearing more.
This made me smile.

Cool groove. Loving those wah leads.
Mighty cool album. Loved it.
Woo! This is different... slightly unsettling verses...cool stuff
Yep. Rocking.
Oh wow, and this one. DIgging the 50s/60s rock thing going on. Awww and that guitar break...
I knew I was right...
I was gonna do the vacuum cleaning now I've finished work... think I'll listen to this new album instead!! Seems more worthwhile somehow... LOL ... I'm sure the missus will understand :)
Woof! Love the Stones vibe. This rocks.
You possibly shouldn't trust my judgement, though... In the 90s, I used to listen to "The Wall" to cheer myself up!!!
