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.
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.

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.

What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
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!

Nothing special about this one. The riff is kinda cheesy, and the lyrics are a lot cheesy. It has a pre-chorus section which is unusual for me. That's about the only thing that's interesting at all. The mix might be awful, but I was 99% asleep…
Now that my album Texas Tonefreak is almost "out of print", I'll be posting the tracks up here.

I ended up buying myself a Tanglewood TGRD VS E for my birthday and this is it's first outing with an old Doors classic i'm not a 100% the lyrics are correct as i must admit i have been drinking so i have Regged it a little but it is a 100% live…
I wondered what you'd get - sounds like a good choice.
And this is a fine version - who cares whether the lyrics are accurate... "just get the title right and no-one'll notice!!"
I kinda like this one, although the cutting and pasting sounds really obvious to my ears. I usually try and get my punches cleaner than this, but I seemed to be slacking on this day. The lyrics are part of my current atheist bent. The guitars…
Not sure about the mix for this one. My left ear hears much better than my right, and I do all of my work with headphones. Sometimes when I have two doubled tracks split left/right I end up having a hard time keeping them balanced. I over compensate…
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.

It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.
I suppose you could call this a Lament of sorts, I call it a bit of fun, and it was fun to record. Thanks Aimee, ( my daughter ) for the new strings for my birthday. they came in useful !!!!!
:)
I listened before the "About" was in. I was thinking "why can't I write happy songs like this?" ... and then the verse after the instrumental arrived and put it right in the same ballpark as the lyrics I'd just been typing up!!!
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
This is sweet!!!! Real sweet!!!!!!!
1 voice and 1 guitar. Always the best.

Nothing wrong with kinda cheesy! Cool playing.
Bluesy, jumpy, what more could a chap ask? And I'm loving the sound of that harp too.
"just" an instrumental!! haha! Killer stuff. Did you leave *any* ideas on the cutting room floor?! Love it.
Aww yeah... More! MORE! :)
Oh wow!! Short (too short!) but SWEET... Fabulous guitar sound and playing.
I wondered what you'd get - sounds like a good choice. And this is a fine version - who cares whether the lyrics are accurate... "just get the title right and no-one'll notice!!"
Keep generating it!! Like it.
More very tasty guitars... I can't hear anything that sounds like a dirty punch to me, though :)
Well, balance of the gits feels pretty good to me (I am listening in my "mixing" headphones though!!). Cool playing :)
Oh yes. Gorgeous sounds... more fun like this needed!
Nice one. Like it.
I listen to this quite often - spose I better listen to it again now! You knows I loves it, don't yer? :-)
:) x
Oh yes, glad you dusted this one off.
A fine set of songs, sir! :)
I'd forgotten the extremely cool guitars in the instrumental - good to hear again.
Woo! a new one - like it.
Wot? No comments?
Yeah :)
