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'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.

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.

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear

Heres a collab that i did on the cool-lab with Tims Buddy on the beginning Johny Robbo on the 1st main solo and The Rev on the next two solos and Tim on the end and my self on the vocal…hope you enjoy.........

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.

this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Well heres the ballad of the younger other Reg who has found himself in trouble trying to do a deal with the devil.....why didn't he listen?.....Reg told him not to trust him............I got the acoustic out for this one and a little guitar fx…
I love the creativity that's going on here. Personally, I'm not that engaged with what's going to happen to Moonbee (although, how ARE you going to get him an invite to the ball??!?! lol). But I'm loving the tunes and harmonies. Guitar sounds cute too.
Here's request Carry on my Wayward son by Kansas we had.... again Gene has outdone himself with some superb musicianship ......and i've again had the easy job with the vocals...thanks Gene
Pete Thompson on percussion and Angie Thompson on bass. Produced with Pete 123112
HAIRCUT
They sent me a letter. A ticket to ride
Portland to Frisco on that Big Overnight
Brand new clothes. New pants and new shirt
Brand new boots to kick…
Well Reg still hasn't cheered up ...memories of Desirea keep coming back to haunt him he thought it would be a new year a new start .....which it would be if he could only leave the past behind him......so he got the acoustic down of the wall…
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox
P.S. This is…
Reg is always sure the grass is greener...i'm not so sure as i watch him going through conflict every time he goes to see...

i’ve got something to tell you and it will soon all come clear
i want to hold you so close and…
Tack on the soles of our two shoes,
Walk until we can find the dam.
And if the water is shallow enough,
Maybe you wouldnt mind wading in.
Waist deep, and it's getting cold,
Still you refuse to go home.
You're convinced that I want to stay…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Ooh yeah. Like this one a lot.
With what you've been doing recently, you're starting to make me think that perhaps I ought to midi-enable one of my guitars.
While I was going through my old stuff I found this forgotten tune. I think it was the first or second collab I've ever done with Billy Playle. We met at a long gone collaboration site called OMF (OpenMusicFactory, run by Alessandro da Lisca…

Back for more :) This is so bouncy and growly, I love it! x
Poignant and more tender than Tiffany's Estate, methinks! G:)
Blown away! love this. no crits at all, just impressed. G:)
Enjoying the mix....well done once again.
AJ Grind and Growl. Oh I liked the twin guits and the riding crop lyric. Rocks
Well done. I missed this somehow.
Love it... Great growling vocal ....love at solo...as lady says another A.R masterpiece........
Killed it! Backing vocals always make me smile and harmonized guitar lines with bite are so damn sweet. Touchdown!
Another AR masterpiece. :)
Way to bark it out! I Love Love Love it. Great lyrics, Great lead guitar. You really drove it home!
Thanks for the comments on Macho Chihuahua. Coming from you it is really a compliment.
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!!

Fine version chaps. I had me doubts... but it's turned out nice.
Well, that was very enjoyable. Some very tasty stuff in there guys.
I didn't realise how much I was enjoying this until it ended. Mightily good stuff.
Oh yeah, love it
But this one just shades it for me...
I also like 'em both...
Nice :-)
Love how this little beauty swings along. A big ole rocking riff.
I love the creativity that's going on here. Personally, I'm not that engaged with what's going to happen to Moonbee (although, how ARE you going to get him an invite to the ball??!?! lol). But I'm loving the tunes and harmonies. Guitar sounds cute too.
Oh SUPERB!!! I knew you guys could do it :-)
Oh, wondrous... Gorgeous melodies and sounds fabulous.
Superb lyrics. Wonderful song.
Works for me!
Yep, smooooth. Tasty stuff.
Does the same for me - makes me feel like the sun is actually shining! Nice one.
Wonderful. And those harmonies are superb.
Oh this is a goodie.
Fave from the start. Gorgeous sound. Just noticed that I love how you always seem to get "movement" out of slow songs.
Ooh yeah. Like this one a lot. With what you've been doing recently, you're starting to make me think that perhaps I ought to midi-enable one of my guitars.
Nice one.
