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…

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!

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…
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…

Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

A blues noodle that got out of Hand just before the midnight curfew...........trying my hand at a bit of keyboard percussion and the voice through a guitar effect........well you have to try don't you?
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)
Beat and sax are from Mixcraft.
Enjoy! xox
I was in a rush when I first heard this...
But with a couple of listens this time... woo! Don't know the original at all, but this fits you like a glove. Fabulous vocal madam, absolutely fabulous...
Wish I could fave it again.
And keep messing... the virtual Jim and Don are still struggling to agree with each other at the moment lol

Take what you want
But keep your hands off my medication
I can get by without you
But not without them
And don’t you dare
Even think of taking my guitars
And don’t you care
Of the state you’ll leave…
An old recording from 1997 done on a Tascam 4 track. Converted to digital from casette so the recording is warbly in spots.
I am currently working on some new songs so I decided to throw so oldies but baddies out there.
Cry (if you want to) – Steve Harris 990211
Run into these open arms my love, sad you’re breaking
But on the outside you’re so tough
You’re not fooling me, enough’s enough
Cry if you want to, cry…..
I’ll be here till someone comes…

This was the original version I recorded before I completely overhauled it (see version on "It takes a village album ). I wasnt crazy about it but hell I put time into it and completed it so why not post it up.
Wedding march written a long time ago for a friend and a failed marriage. The song symbolizes hope and trust in the face of fear. The composition is all that's left of that now, but, it still means something. Not our usual, so please don't…
Oh, it's fall again,
Autumn leaves are sweeping in,
Came and went like the tides.
Oh, chills on the wind again,
Eating through our clothes,
Aching our blood cells.
Oh, where is home again,
With fire in our hearts,
And love on our shoulders…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Oh, that hit the spot!
Awesome recording, LOVE IT!!!
Don't normally like cover songs...unless they're turned on their head. And you have done a killer job...Great.
Straight out of the Commitments sound track I say.....Great track
Very amazing.
Good song all around. All the instruments interact well and the recording is clean. You have a great soulful tone to your voice.
I have the BR1600CD, I recorded almost all my stuff on it!
Some nice dynamics, sounds like a pretty polished pop rock tune!
Some excellent stuff here, nice one. :)
Top track mate.
I dig your voice...veey soulful.... Nice acapella version....
S-w-e-e-t Piepod I love it Andrew! LG
Great storytelling Andrew. Real nice recording.
Simply beautiful
Master class in minimalism. More doodles please.
Such an intimate sound. Wonderful vocal! Holding my breath while listening.
love it
Brilliant, soulful vocal! Well done! w;-)
Really cool track mate.
Yeah! Has a nice live sound to it, you nailed that.

Leave the milk out of mine... This does the job, right on the money.
Oooo, I say... Nice. I reckons you needs to turn the heavy breathing up a bit though... I had to listen REALLY hard lol
Nice version. Didn't realise David Bowie had covered it!!
This is very cool. Didn't like the idea at first, but it dragged me in. Wonderfully put together.
Yeah, cool sound, fine song. Never thought I'd hear Carshalton mentioned in a song!
Good to hear a new one :) Crazy guitar tuning! Makes good sounds though.
Run out of words to say on your songs... love it :)
Oooo yeah. Nice.

Oh yeah, like this one.
Oh yeah, tasty, even with the warbles.
Nice one
Enjoyed as instructed! :) Fab.
Like it - I was out in the kitchen, and it started up, I rushed back in to see who was... Rockin stuff
Rockin stuff. Love the spacey bit in the middle.
Don't know the original, but this sure sounds good.
Yummy. And she's got a nice name, too :)
Ummm... I love both versions... but I think this is the one I'd take on holiday with me.
Lovely, but sounds very sad... I wonder whether it would have sounded so sad if I hadn't read the story first?
Love the images you paint with your words.
