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…
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!

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

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.

A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
Ah! Tanya Tucker - that was the name!!
And, er, DAW? What DAW?! No DAWs in use here! lol
I usually synch vocals by singing them again until they're right... We didn't really have that luxury, though - in the end I've got quite fond of the "rough and ready" vibe on it (it did bug me at first!)
Reg is spending too much time in the cellar watching the news on TV, reading the papers and conspiracy theories on the internet. He's started to get Paranoid…he's come up with his own conspiracy theory…i keep telling him he's just paranoid…
It seems i haven't had a moment ...life is very busy when you have a baby that doesn't want to sleep, i have found........I had a little time tonight to mess about and i came up with a little tune, then i saw this word "Bastardized" and thought…
My mate Dave did his Ringo bit for this one. He came with some songs title's. I was messing about in Open A (I think ) and came up with this. Thanks to Dave for the Harmonica.
Been meaning to enhance this one for years, it's about 4 years old, sure it came about after a trip to Liverpool. The Cavern Club's not the real one, but what a great sound in there. Thanks to the Good Wife for the vocals.
Ok, this came out while messing around with the original, which one I like best, I can't make my mind up. As always sure you guys will put me right !!!!
Ok I need a lay down now. Been meaning to revamp this for years, still in DADGAD tuning, original sounded to much of a dirge, come to think of it, hope this don't !!!!!!
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In other words, they don't know what's causing it. And haven't been able to come up with a cure either.

The first of an album of collaborations with Freight Drive Reprobates. I'm interested to see what we come up with next. Enjoy!

Love it!
One of my favourite ever songs. It's actually very difficult to sing this and make it sound believable. You've managed it. Nice one :)
Second time I've listened to this today. It's nothing like what usually grabs me, but I'm kinda drawn to it.... love the sounds on it.

Oh yes.
Like my ole Dad says: "just keep taking the tablets" lol
Poor old Reg indeed :)
Nice one. And video! Love the knowing smile at the end.
Oh yes... And it's not rubbish lol
Aw, I LOVE this one. Everything fits perfectly, gorgeous track.
Like this one too, but my money's on the fun remix :)
Love this version... on to the next!
Love that DADGAD, I don't practice it often enough to make it sound this slick.
Rockin stuff, and a harp solo too. Like it.
Oh yes, rocking. Love the guitars.
Wow! Wasn't expecting that! Nice one.
Fabulous, beautiful
Wow! Hope you got the leather gear... Rocking.
Nice one.
And a guitar solo!!
