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…

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

I tried to send a comment on here giving you my email (iris_selene@sbcglobal.net). If it worked, no need to even read this one, it's just the same stuff. I want to thank you for your feedback and we should chat, talk music, and I should get to listening to more of your stuff too. You're a great musician. Alright, thanks so much, hope we talk soon!
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…
Hearing traces of early Bowie! Woot! Love you in this poppier guise, but your voice shines fantastically towards the rock out close! (Also, loving those "ba ba baas"!)
THIS IS THE OLD YEURGH MIX - THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HIGHER UP THE LIST NOW, FULLY LOVED BY AR. THIS ONE IS LEFT HERE AS A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING OR OTHER (AND IN CASE YOU PREFER IT)
Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…

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…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…
I saw this I was like "Oh hell yes!" And then I listen and it's like.... a harder rockin version..... wow! Very interesting in a really cool way. This song can tug at my heart strings no matter what. The brilliance of the Beatles can be conveyed through any way you wanna play it..... thanks for this one!

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.

You and me both, buddy! Haha. Nah I kid. It just seems really hard to get people to listen to new music. There's just so much of it around. :)
But thanks again. Much appreciated.

Andrew...best song I have heard in a long long time...i am blown away. Everything is perfection on this. Your voice is great...your voice is similar to Ed Roland from Collective Soul...but more soulful....I must listen to this 500 more times....thanks for sharing.
Feel So Blue
Shes the kinda lady I've wanted all my life
The kinda lady that you want to make your wife
Once i found her I never stop the chase
I didn't want my entire life to turn out to be a waste
So I told her that I loved he…
One of my favourites from the 60's. Stones recorded this one twice: with strings and with vibes. I've done it with cajon and a little grit.
Thanks for listening.

IF THE SPIRIT MOVE YOU........... Oh, my Lord done just what he said
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
He healed the sick and he raised the dead
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
Shine on, let it…
..and the next one is...
Acting Like a Fool
Laying here half asleep
with sun shinning down through the window it peaks
The crack of the curtain shows the world outside
What have I done where have I been
was I really back out on the scene…
Reg and Regfunkel reunion tour 2012...live in the Bunker...
Yesterday's Dreamer
Yesterday's dreamer sat on the sidewalk
Trying to find a way through his clouded mind
There was no rhyme or reason
To why he was feeling so down inside…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…
Still haven't got the headphones on it... but it's turned up LOUD this time :)
I can hear all the sparkly and shiny bits properly now - I could tell they were there, but I had to have it very quiet last night...
Love the guitars and the organ. Love where the vocal sits.
Nice. Very nice :)
Yep... :)
Kinda shows you don't need no drums to rock if you've got a vocal like that (says the man struggling with drums on three tracks now lol)
Love it.

Just read the "About" blurb (it wasn't there when I first listened). I've only been hearing it on PC speakers so far... but it sounds to me like "enuff is enuff" was the right call. I'll give it another listen on headphones tomorrow.
The missus likes it too :)

This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
Mrs R likes these three (My Friend, More then, & After All)
:)
She don't dislike the other stuff, but... er...
Oh you know what I'm trying to say!! lol
This song came from prayer and is to give hope and encouragement to all who are having trouble moving forward due to their past.
Lift Up Your Head
Young lamb torn and bleeding
Caught in barbed wire, scared and alone

!!! Oh heavens...unbelievably sad. The production and performance are polished and professional but, ouch, my heart.
Like that!
One of my middle names is Elizabeth, so this is automatically cute to me. Don't really have words, I just really like it. Good job!

Love the folky ness. Quite soulful! Lovin the lyrics too. All of it, quite good, yes indeed.
Andrew does it again!
Brilliant...I can here this in a movie if you get my drift? Reminds me of Cat Stevens.
I really like your singing, i feel that you put a lot of yourself into your songs. Very melodic guitar lines too, i like slide arrangements!
Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.
That *SLIDE* adds the perfect touch. Fantastic song!
Dude...this song is killing me. That slide guitar is placed perfectly in the spectrum...everything is....god damn that is a good tune...jeez louise!
You and me both, buddy! Haha. Nah I kid. It just seems really hard to get people to listen to new music. There's just so much of it around. :) But thanks again. Much appreciated.

Yeah. The magic has not left the bunker yet...
One of my (many!) favourites from the 60s too. So I approached this with a little bit of trepidation... But WOW! What a fine fine version. Loved it.
Nice one.
BRILLIANT!
lol love it... OK, what is it fueling this stuff? You guys are getting some air as well aren't you?
Is there some sort of mid-life crisis thing going on down in that bunker?! :) Very moody... Love the restrained vibe
Fab... this is the business, boys :)

Superb.
Yeah, just what I needed at the end of a hard day's sleeping at the office... My dog is done now.... and raring to go.

Oh yeah, summery. Gorgeous tones.

It's often really useful listening to someone else's recent alonetone favourites. A class bowl of noodles, sir!
Henny, this one is growing on me each time I hear it. I REALLY like this one.
Wonderful - and I think it does its job too. Fabulous chorus.
I like this a lot.
Yep. Love it.
