Hi,excellent vocal,so appreciate the one voice one guitar style. It is the only way to access my full attention. Superb, capture.
Yes, I am a total fan of the band from Texas, Beard , Roads, and the reverend are so good on the Degueilo album. If you can listen to Nation wide again and try 2000 blues."..... Great cover Andrew. Faved and followed

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!

Every time I think you won't be able to top what you've already done you prove that you actually can. I love the sound of this song - needless to mention your voice and songwriting.
Good to hear something new from you, Andy! Keep them coming!

The old tin geetar...
Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
This is a collaboration with a prolific chap called James Higgins (oldrottenhead on songcrafters.org), based on an instrumental of mine from a couple of years ago: http://alonetone.com/andyr/tracks/muletide

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…

From about 1st 1.28 seconds I was hooked.
The vibe is Just right for me (listening on laptop speakers and the song is filling the room!) ....
Just the right amount of quirk to spiral that roots sound into the stratosphere!
I love how you have the Reggae, Gypsy and Rock merged into one amazing showcase of Talent that cant help but shine!
If you are ever in London, Let me know and we will do a Vodcast for you.
Peace

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…
You gotta work long hours, Grind that stone
Work your fingers to the bone
Gotta make that money while you can
Before retirement and old age sets in
Do what you can for the company and
The boss 'll take care of you
Forget about vacation…
It's easier to abandon hope
It's easier to walk away
It's easier to win this fight
By turning around and running away
If we try this time
We just might find a way
To make it happen
We just might find
We have the words to say
You were…
If we take a moment Ignore what divides us two
Just take a moment What would we see
Would I see a brother Might I be your friend
Might there be more that binds us hand in hand
Between you and me are the same old songs
Between you and me…
If I'm out of words
to brighten up your day
All that's left of us
is rust and decay
Remember these moments
more than just alive
Think of these
times when we thrived
If the sun ceases to shine
forever runs out of time
If we're all out…
This is how these things start
My sad excuse for a work of art
Put in the effort, set the pace
Hardly anyone listens anyways
Years of this takes its toll
Only few ever know
All this work done in haste
A whole month gone to waste
Undertow

Lyrics - CM / Music - TB, SM
You’re all alright, I can rest now
Now you’re alright, I can rest
I’ve tried so hard, did my best now
Now you’ve tried hard, did you’re best
My mind’s eye watches from afar
I love you all for all you are…
C Maiorano
You said you wouldn’t, Then you did it
Playful kitten, With a mission
Contradictions, I don’t listen
Too explicit, Here to mention
A pile of twisted wreckage
Always misunderstood
You’ve gone and burned you’re bridges
Now…

Do you put much thought into sequencing tracks? If not, this is INSPIRED sequencing so far! Love this coming after Brighter Side. DIgging the organ on this one, I'm a sucker for the Hammond sound.

Lyrics - TB / Music SM, TB
I was at the station
Waiting on a train
To take me all the way to LA
Without a nickel to my name
Woah lazy ticket man

Hello Empathy, can’t ya see that its me hanging out to dry
I’m surprised to see you after all this time
A sip of sympathy may be all that i need to get me by tonight
But those home made remedies only last for a while
Hey Controversy…
RPM 2k22
it's all you know
so why don't you show me
just how it's done
i'm mesmerized
the way that you lie
mostly to yourself
as if you're someone else
it's killing you
these things that you do to
simply remain
not breaking ground…
RPM 2k22
kiss me softly in the evening light
and like the breeze, i'll be blown away
linger longer if you have the time
and whisper truly that you want to stay
how long, oh eternity
doesn't seem to ever last
forever's just a word it…
RPM 2k22
this night if we are sober
we'll deny that this over
and before we slip away
to sleep and dream of better days
this night if we are sober
we'll decide if this is over
and slip away into a dream
that will tell us, which direction…
RPM 2k22
down goes the champion
disappear into the past
his glory fading out
know it would never last
faced with reality
just a shell remains
nothing to fall upon
and no one else to blame
raise your white flag
and hope that you get…
What no comments? This one works for me. Love the lyrics... Actually, I'm wondering whether, like me, you were watching the winter olympics while writing? All sorts of stuff snuck into my lyrics, inspired by the coverage in the background. And when the games finished, the ideas dried up for a day or two for me - almost like I'd relied on them. Anyways, remembering how I was feeling those couple of weeks, I can kinda see how this one might have had the same thing going on in the background.

you can't remember anything tonight

the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling

down goes the sun
so lay down your head
and follow it
the penitent one
cries in his sleep
cause there's no release
tear down this wall
piece by tiny piece
faithful through it all
but there's no release
so little revealed…
RPM 2k22
been so long, without your touch
been so long, I want so much
to finally feel anything at all

soon all my waiting will be over

never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am

the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change

change, anything that you…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
I am so glad you took the trouble of "capturing" this terrific version. Love your voice. Love the simple guitar accompaniment. Favourited!
Well done.
Hi,excellent vocal,so appreciate the one voice one guitar style. It is the only way to access my full attention. Superb, capture. Yes, I am a total fan of the band from Texas, Beard , Roads, and the reverend are so good on the Degueilo album. If you can listen to Nation wide again and try 2000 blues."..... Great cover Andrew. Faved and followed .......Steve

Yup Sounds like howlin'Wolf Allright
That's an amazing contribution by ORH. What a vox! Andy, you did a great job w the instrumentation, playing, and production. Seamless and rockin'! DD
Oh Hell Yeah! That's an amazing job of writing, singing, and playing in Wolf's style. Great slide work! VERY impressive post, Andy! DD

LOLOLOLOL ... Yep. I hear you!
Oh crumbs, and another. I'm really digging these.
Another perfectly formed song presented in a way that grabs/moves me - love it.
I think this the first time I've ever heard any of your stuff. Woah, loving it.
I absolutely LOVE this.
Excellent RPM guys :)
Yeah, gotta agree with Keith Landry - this is a bit of stunner. If I was still a smoker I'd be tempted to hold my lighter aloft!
This one makes me think of The Who - haven't listened to them in ages. I can't even put a finger on why it made me think that. Anyway love this one
I love how the different songwriters produce a different sort of song but they all fit on an Orphans album.
Do you put much thought into sequencing tracks? If not, this is INSPIRED sequencing so far! Love this coming after Brighter Side. DIgging the organ on this one, I'm a sucker for the Hammond sound.
Nice one
Well that was faved after 30 seconds! Superb opener.
Yep. awesome album. You never disappoint, but I think this one feels like a new high for me. Nice one, well done.
This one dragged me back from the work window. Yes, love it.
Oh yeah...

Classy (I'm running out of superlatives). I'm digging this album.
This grew on me. Love the chorus, I think that's what did it for me.
What can I add that hasn't been said already? (Dang, Riff, Wow) ... digging it.
Whoa! What an opener. It was cool as it started, then the band kicked in. Love it.
