I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Here we go, a tender little rocker from the broom-cupboard...
A tale of regrets and wotnots.

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…

Quite nice in this stripped down version ... love the subtle organ ... the simplicity adds to the sense of starkness and the melody is very effective with the words.

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
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!

Acoustic blues. Recorded in 2005. I was trying to record something else, can't remember what, and the missus was going out. She had cyclist Lance Armstong's book, or was talking about it. Sounded like a great title for a song as well as his book…
It would be a good track for running, yep. But we (me and Mrs R) wondered if you could shorten it a bit for us, don't think we could run for that long :)
Did the world really need a cheesy, spaghetti western version of this classic Eagles song? I'm not sure. Did I make one anyway? Yes. Yes, I did. By the way the painting is "Villa Diablo" by Downe Burns.

My wife went "I like the bird picture" when I was looking at the latest playlists, explaining that if I uploaded all the ones I've got ready then I'd hog the top of the front page so that's why I'm waiting.... I said that picture's Djörk - wow... haven't heard Djörk music for ages... I'm educating her now :) Hope you're ok in these interesting times.
I'm just a guitars and sore fingers kinda guy really... but you synthy-guys are begining to get to me... I'm starting to understand! (My wife's gonna kill you all if I start buying keyboards too!!)
This is, indeed, amazing. This time I'm hearing it on the big stereo in the living room... with the sound turned down on the TV... and there were a lot of images of a young Heinrich Himmler going by... not sure if the two were meant to fit together so well... but they did
And this... I've listened before, favourited, but didn't comment... not sure why I didn't... both listens have grabbed me all the way through to the last note... the strings in the middle are gorgeous...
I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…
You had me with "If I start by making a better me / It will help to make a better we" ... I was listening without reading what it was about. In fact, I didn't make the connection until after I had finished the first listen. But it was "wooooo" ... You've created a song that gets to the heart of a thing without being tied to the thing that made the writer write it... that's magical... I agree with Greg - it's an anthem... wow... many thanks for saying what many of us think, feel, and wanted to say....

Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)
Lyrics:
When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky
And you're walking around in Dublin town
You got nothing…
The Guiness drinkers owe it to themselves to listen to this, favourite it, and... have another Guiness. The less enlightened need to start drinking Guiness... but remember, everyone, that "alcohol is not a coping mechanism"... doesn't actually apply to Guiness, obviously (because it counts towards your 5 A Day, same as Red Wine and Potato Chips)

Original song by my friend and music partner Randy Arneson.
Recorded in Garageband using a pickup plus condenser mic on a vintage Gibson 12 string (2 channels of guitar). I have a couple different versions of this one recorded...
So the latest Orchestral piece I have composed was originally started a few months back before the Virus story broke. I had started it simply as a 'dark' piece, but once the Lockdown started it sort of fitted, and I expanded it to try and tell…
Nice one. I'm getting an 1812 overture sort of vibe out of it... especially with the triumphant end that, yeah, hasn't actually happened yet... but who's counting?(!)
Due to climate change we've had little rain in the last couple of years

I was listening to this without having read the blurb (or listening to the words...) I was thinking "that's a nice summery vibe" ... given it's been cold and cloudy here all day!! Then I paid attention to the lyrics... oops! Yep, it actually works perfectly for that too...
Haha "piratical tension" - I think that it's just you, Sister Savage... but now you mention it... maybe it is? ... but I have been drinking wine, and brandy, and watching Blackbeard the Pirate with Robert Newton earlier... Arrrrr(!) Anyways... 1. e4 e5 ... open game
... I've only just connected you with up with https://alonetone.com/puddleglum that I used to listen to! Good to hear some new stuff. Followed and ready for more :)

Naked is always good! Great song!
I like the guitar work. Great tune.
Quite nice in this stripped down version ... love the subtle organ ... the simplicity adds to the sense of starkness and the melody is very effective with the words.
Wow, i like this song. It's great ...
Great song. The way you sing it reminds me of an old Bloodrock tune, DOA. Best of luck.
Yes!!
Those chords would take some working out...great song and passion in your voice too. Sweet

Great track Andrew...downloading now! Thanks for your continued support and kind words. Very nicely produced your stuff is.

Oh yeah... gorgeous harmonica sounds.
Oh yeah! Like it. Welcome.
Nice one. I'm getting an 1812 overture sort of vibe out of it... especially with the triumphant end that, yeah, hasn't actually happened yet... but who's counting?(!)
Back for another listen. Yep. Those are gorgeous guitars, and the groove, and the vocal... And the harmonies on the bridge... This is mighty fine.
Yep, cool sounds. Certainly moving the air in my broom-cupboard studio!
"snacks with a special flavour" hehe
