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…
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…
Hmm, for some reason I did not have you flagged as "Followed" - Fixed!
Remember this one, great fest and a stunning tune! The guitar crunch and the vocal harmonies make this the best!
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…
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…
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!

**Shine - A A J Russe**
On my way…
A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…

A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

Easter 2010 I decided…
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
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…
Great stuff Andrew. Have a listen to my solo stuff...Tiggy Acworth. Many thanks for so many kind words...keep singing and eventually the world will hear!

That be some good production right there. Dag nabit! I enjoy the different looks of the verse sections as the progresses. And the big vocal harmonies...I thought that ac gtr lick was gonna fly off into django territory.....always fun listening to your tunes. I learn something everytime.

A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…
Oh yeah, I love me some Beatles! Any Beatles, even the trippier stuff (maybe especially, haha). This one is certainly a fave of mine, and you give a great rendition here. I did not know Robin Gibb had a version of this, dang Imma have to check that out too! You definitely have the soulfulness down, as I feel that's what the song entails. Great great great! =D
wrote this song back in 2017 when i had too many thoughts i wanted to express in music, so i wrote a song about having that instead of the thoughts themselves lol...
not 100% how i'd like it to have turned out, but i like it all the same... especially…
On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan.
This is a tune dedicated to a los angeles luthier family ,Candelas, who build old style classic guitars. My fist real guitar was one of…
Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
Oh wow,love it. I do think it's amazing seeing how different people take an idea on differently. And how we all hear it differently too. Personally, this one speaks to me more... but I do think he earned his third!
Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…
I wrote this over a year ago and could not get it. the groove was too slow and so were my hands. well tzars better.
the concept came from a friend comparing his new love with a ten round boxing match . I could not resist.
This one is all gimmick but I like it. I think it has album track one potential, but I'm not sure yet.
The last few projects I've done have seen me writing melodies out on a keyboard, then writing lyrics to fit the melody, then recording the…
The notes about the chorus made me laugh. Yes - I tried singing along, I couldn't even manage the two halves! I'd have given up and used two tracks, two voices, singing alternate lines. That would work - even if you make it obvious it would still work for the listener. And it's an excellent melody.

A couple of notes: First, I am so tired as I finish up this mix that I have no idea if this sounds good or not. Second, I am not sure if I like this song or not, but I am kinda leaning toward liking it. Third, I am pretty sure I already wrote…
This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…
A new song
Hans Nooitgedagt Sr - lead guitar

Another new song
Did this one on my own

I turned on my TV
And I watched the news
A virus on a killing spree
It just gave me the blues
Watching my TV
Couldn't believe what I did see
The president…
Classic jazz was my father’s choice at home ,us kids knew all the greatest horn players . This is for Dad .
Les Paul gold top with p -90 ‘s. Fender jazz bass .
When you talk about me you always put
Me down
You always say I’d be better off
Under ground
You were really holding back tonight
Alright
You offered me a second shot
But why?
It Doesn’t matter what I say
It Doesn’t matter what I…
Can’t you find a way, to get
Closer to me
Don’t think about leaving,
Think about me
Don’t throw it away
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I need
Look at me falling, lady
Head over heels
Doesn’t that move you baby?
Closer to…
I hope you’re the right one for me, you see
Time is ticking, I’ve been thinking
This can’t be forever you see, for me
It’s been so long and I’ve been strong
But too many things have happened
I need a change
I hope you’re understanding…

Don't know how I missed this one. I'll second Tess' comment, WOW.... "Shine" hits the mark!
I Really Like This One.The Acoustic Guitars Are So Crisp And Clean
You are a mad man! This is F'ing epic! I can here influences throughout , Floyd, The who to name a couple. Spot on everytime. Magnifico!
Sweeeet! It's early morn but need to listen again late at night with a large bourbon. Another excellent track Mr Russe
very wonderful work,, seems like you had a bit of fun doing this...

I wish i could sing like that...damn...those harmonies are bad ass...your music is much more than a song. It seems locked into almost a epic tale..
Beautiful cover!
Great stuff Andrew. Have a listen to my solo stuff...Tiggy Acworth. Many thanks for so many kind words...keep singing and eventually the world will hear!

This is a very intoxicating flavor, between the melody and the music and the content... Great job!
Thanks so much for your kind comments.....and keep up the great music...."Anyway" is a wonderful track

Wow. That's a bit of a song. My favourite of yours so far. Yes please, upload more new stuff!
Ok, the best words have been used already, but I'm using them anyway - Sweet. Cooking.
Good one. Love the lyrics.
Oh wow,love it. I do think it's amazing seeing how different people take an idea on differently. And how we all hear it differently too. Personally, this one speaks to me more... but I do think he earned his third!
Oh yeah, nice one guys.
That feels good... and a cool idea
The notes about the chorus made me laugh. Yes - I tried singing along, I couldn't even manage the two halves! I'd have given up and used two tracks, two voices, singing alternate lines. That would work - even if you make it obvious it would still work for the listener. And it's an excellent melody.
Nearly missed this one. Glad I didn't, it's mighty cool.
Oh yes. Liking this. Loving the guitars.
And this. Yes.
I haven't been keeping up - yep, good one.
Well that works for me. Nice one. I'm a sucker for a falling bass line.
Nice one. Digging that guitar.
Oh, this is SO cool - really glad you found it.
Rockin :)
Cool track, nice one.
Awww... sweet and tasty.
I'm right in thinking these earlier posted tracks are the later recorded ones? Slightly different feel - loving them all.
There's some superb vocals on these tracks.
Ooo, here's a different feel. Nice one.
