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!

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
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…
Reg crawled out of his bunker and wandered down the hill where Jip 1965 found him and dragged him round to FDR,s cave,the beer flowed,the whiskey jug was emptied and we all turned into AC/DC. And then we went down the Rum Runner and rocked the…
Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night.
I pick up the telephone
and dial the number
I run down the street
I don't mind the thunder
I can get no answer
Can't go back to my slumber
I turn the corner slip and fall
I hit…
Yeah - magnificent song. Love the vox.
Like the vid too :)
...Interesting watching you play, btw - you've got a different right hand, but watching your left hand I could be watching myself in a mirror! Don't often get that feeling watching another guitarist :)
We're truly nowhere now,
and there is no fight for who's king.
Through a tear in two souls crawls
the shapelessness of this dream.
I lay down in the sun to spring leaks,
when in pours my weight in dead fruit,
under which the ground gives way…
Extravagant and clean and practised, oh, so very well,
they pose and fall and knead and climb, unclothed yet practical.
The ceiling sets the scene and I am reminded not to go.
I'm at the mercy of this posthumous woe.
Never seen again…

Thats incredible....I dont know what genre....I dont really care...Winning!
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!
Thank you for the comments. You made my day. jmt
Yeah.Takes me back to high school.
Like. So clean.
Clean! Like the simplicity. The intensity.
Love the delicacy of it.
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...
still kicking ass i see andy, still on my piepod for the walk to and fro work. braw tell yer maw.
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

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.
Yep, I'm very fond of LWIII as well. Only saw him once though. One of the funniest nights of my life. Nice version :)
Wooo! Never heard the original. But this vocal is sparkly and huge :)
Ha! Ha! Rockin.
Blissful. We got the same roots :) (Did you spend years trying to sing like him too??)
Yeah - magnificent song. Love the vox. Like the vid too :) ...Interesting watching you play, btw - you've got a different right hand, but watching your left hand I could be watching myself in a mirror! Don't often get that feeling watching another guitarist :)
Wooo... wonderful. Now I'm going have to go and find Geir's version - not sure I've ever heard it.
Don't know the original, but I like this version a fair bit :)
Lovely version. That guitar sounds FABULOUS. Faved from the first notes.
Yep, like the four so far. I'm going to have to check Cockney Rebel out themselves now!
Not that familiar with Cockney Rebel... but I'm liking this a lot.
Similarly majestic - and fabulous.
Woof!! This is majestic.
Haha! Superb... absolutely superb. Groove, song, everything.
And this one too. Love it.
