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.

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!

A cool mixture of MIDI and conventional instruments.
Slide guitar courtesy of my trusty Zippo lighter.
There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.
For M.T.
Enjoy!
Oh yeah, this is the biz. Lovely stuff.
I've tried using a Zippo as a slide - can't get on with it, just can't compete with the stack of various slides standing beside the recording machine...
As a lighter, though, cannot be beaten :)
it was a fun song to do and had different changes of some different musical styles than i've done before. overall im pleased with this songs outcome.
especially since from this point forward i will be making music on a different, better pc. i…
The absolute first song I ever wrote, sitting alone in a cold gray prison cell. This particular also actually took me the longest to actually complete, as it was several years before I seemed to actually get all of the words right.
A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
a song written about my memories of a trip to norway. and dedicated to my viking host Geir T Alfsen.
the original version was done acoustically and can be heard here.

just like home
but…
Here's the Classic from Boston from that time when my locks were flowing and i was 3stone lighter....with speed Demon Gene doing the music and yours truly trying his best on the vocals...hope you enjoy as much as we did doing it.....
I can't believe the stuff you guys are taking on!! Excellent...
Couple of requests for future consideration:
Carry On My Wayward Son
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
:)
Well Reg has just realised that he keep making the same mistakes with his relationships as he always has....the first song from the Newly built cellar.....Jim just had to jump o this one............
Hello pain my old friend it's so nice to see…
Yeah, I don't like making comparisons either usually, but Jim Morrison sprung to mind very much...
Hopefully that's what at least one of the Regs was intending :)

Couldn't get this to play... had to download it to listen to it.... But, boy, was it worth the effort!! Gorgeous.
Like it. There is so much going on in here. I'm a bit tired at the moment anyway, but I just lay here on the sofa and let it wash over me.
Huge and rocking.
Yep, like your stuff - looking forward to hearing more.
Fantastic sound. Love your voice.
Woo. This takes me back... Love it :)
Crazy stuff. Love it.
Yep, great track. Still loving the vocal delivery. And that harp is mighty fine.
It do indeed. Nice one :)
I always wanted one too! Sounds like I might have been a bit luckier in the one that caught me though... lol Fine restrained blues.
Oh yeah...
Yep, good to see this one on here. Fine, fine song.

Thought I'd commented on this... Fine song, loving the slide.
Almost speechless here... Wonderful :)
A cheery little song... Nice one :)
Liking your voice and how you deliver a lyric. I'll be back later for more :)
Love this, mighty fine.
