I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.

..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..

Yep, I was kind of going for 70s (early-mid 70s Slade was in my mind - bass and vocals, the rest fits where it can). I actually feared I had the drums TOO upfront for that!! lol
I tried and failed with a lot of percussion too - I felt it needed it. There's some tambourine, and some voices doing shaker noises - but none of it was good enough to come too high in the mix. What I really wanted was some clapping, but that didn't work at all!

70's rock all down the line. I love the background vocals and all the guitar work.
I think the drums could be more upfront, and I can imagine some percussion too. That would be the icing on the cake.
But anyway, a great song! Very well done.
I felt compelled to have at least one song that did not use any computerized instruments. This is two tracks of voice and three tracks of guitars. Just me.

i just played some simple triads that matched the basic chord progression to Pachelbel's Canon in D(didn't try to play the original melody or anything), then improvised a few solos, hope you like it.

yes...actually vocals on this one. My buddy Dave laid down some vocals to the lyrics I wrote back in 1994...original arrangement from '91 to be uploaded later...this recording was pulled from a cassette tape and not mixed...sorry for quality…
Dancing in the rain alone
I strain to hear a healing song
With teardrops falling to my feet
I will listen for Love's heartbeat
I'll fly away on angel wings
When I hear the angels sing
Stranded on an island of fear
The ocean's rage is all you…
A noodle that turned into a doodle which turned into a song....thats what you get when you watch David Attenborough's Africa on TV................

I’m a lucky boy
I’m filled with joy
I got angels guiding me
Happens every time
I don’t walk that line
Seems to work out splendidly
Stop and look around
I’m the luckiest boy in town
Ain’t no better can be found…
a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…
Title Track - RPM 2013

Mama Please
She falls flat on her face

she has no disgrace

she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…

Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-)
Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.
Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Nice!
Passionate, emotional, gripping, and huge - all words found in my dictionary to describe this. Thanks, Andrew. G:)
Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...
a really really nice retelling of a great song!! your vocal and playing is so rich
Epic, your vocals are quite theatrical (in a good way) :)
Back again....
This would bring the room down! Set it on fire! Killer!
..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
Epicly awesome! Great hook! Great lines! No stinker! G:)
Getting into the groove. Quality across the board! Cheers, A! G:)
Hi Andrew, another winner. This has it all, vocals,playing and production. Love it.
Right up my street,alley,passage or whatever interconnecting construct passes my crib.....nice one ...love the bouncy tempo and the gravelly vox....Paolo Nutini who?........
Her hunting crop....love the lyrics...;)

Hey, really rocking tune! I love the leads especially the dueling guitars. Great melody and nice backing vox.
Awesome!
Ahhh yes.

This one particularly stood out for me - didn't notice it was over 10 minutes!!
Nice RPM, really enjoyed it - well done!
Love it.
Back for another listen. It's a grower :-)
Oh nice. And very smooth picking.
AND THE FAVE BUTTON WORKED FOR ME!!!! lol
Never realised it was a pop-rock chord progression! Pachelbel rocks! Nice one - some really tasty guitar work.
Woo! Like it.
This is wonderful.
I can't see how you're keeping the standard up while creating so many - who cares? Just keep them coming!!
Nice one. Not quite what I was expecting at all - feels (to me) like a departure from both of you.
Oh yeah - you can sure write these.
Had trouble getting this to play earlier - real glad I gave it another go. Wonderful.
Nice one.
Superb stuff.
I seem to have embarked on listen No 2 of the whole thing... lol You're right to be proud of it - it's pretty damn good.

This is a wonderful track. "Always knew he was filled with sin Now he’s out and I am in" Class!
Gorgeous
I heard this earlier as part of the album. This is a magical track.
