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 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.

Andrew , Great quality to this higher register,Heart felt and not Whiney. I love this. I could no more sing like this than
Wiggle my arms and fly. Great voice
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…

"I like that notion of optimism right around the corner . . . but not quite here yet."
Yep, I like that as well now, VERY much... but I didn't really believe it when I wrote it! lol - it was more of a yearning for it to be true.

AH! Here it is :)
And it's INSPIRED! Love what you've done with the piano - I wondered how you'd deal with making an arrangement... And the vox - woof!
Well, if Percy doesn't want to play, perhaps Mr Page ought to get in touch with you?
OK, I admit it, I don't really hold Led Zeppelin IV in the reverence many LZ fans do! I guess this song is one of the reasons for that... I'll give you A- on this one(!) but it's mainly the material you're forced to work with - tell them Page/Plant guys to buck their ideas up! hehe
another back to basics Zep this one goes out to Martin where ever he is ...he died getting on for 14 years ago but he's not forgotten ...Happy birthday for tomorrow man.....
Wasn't too sure where this was going during the intro, then when the vocals started I saw it all... This is a FABULOUS version. I've always had a love/hate/indifference relationship with this song. It's one of the few where Robert Plant's lyrics got in the way for me. But you carry it off superbly. At 5:26 I was left thinking "why isn't there more?"
A Facebook Friend posted a picture of a
sign hanging on a tree that had the words
to the first verse. I couldn't leave well
enough alone...I Googled the verse and
found it was written by Dallas Clayton.

I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
Just realised that I didn't make it obvious in the blurb... I was actually doing my utmost to sound like early ZZ Top once I'd realised what was happening. The vox and instrumental got performed and recorded with that in mind. So I'm kinda relieved/gratified that folks can spot the ZZ Top in there!!
This song pretty much sums up my life right now. No direction and no ambition.
Maybe because it's SpringTime and Love is in the air.
In keeping with the romantic nature of the season, it features:
BANJO . . . . . The instrument made…
Recorded when we weren't sure how close to the 35-minute mark we were getting for the RPM Challenge... And every second counts.
Besides, we didn't have any "woos" on the album. And woos always make an album better

Great track. I find you inspiring..
Did I say wow? Wow.... that is amazing. The cupboard called you bro. And you called back. With the grace and style of the greats! Peace T
Dear lord....... Wow... Wow...
Andy, the two Otises,would kill for this one. It's a total winner... Otis span Otis redding. Now Andrew Russe! I am a fan. Steve

Andrew , Great quality to this higher register,Heart felt and not Whiney. I love this. I could no more sing like this than Wiggle my arms and fly. Great voice
Oh yeh, great groove going on, give me them Blues any time, any where...

Now this one got me thinking... perhaps you should dip into the Howling Wolf catalogue itself? You've got the voice for it. Tasty blues vocal.
Whereas this one on IV... always liked it. Quite surprised how much I like it without all the bombast. Cool version.

Wooo! Rockin. Nice one guys.
The anon verse is gorgeous - and you matched it. Lovely stuff.
That's the stuff. I'm with Merry Bear over that banjo.
Yep :-) What a vocal.
Brilliant!
Love it.
And this gets the toes tapping.
Like the insistent riff on this.
Real nice. I'll have slice :) (Actually, it's made me realise, I don't get cherry pie round here, Mrs R doesn't like it... hmmm)

Woo! That's quite spacey.
Perfect end to a hard day spent watching the men install our new boiler... (I did manage to restring a strat and a tele while they were doing it)
Woo! Cool album :-)
Aww love it to bits. The lyrics and their delivery are superb. I'm liking the wandering between major and minor in the chords.
GREAT for jamming along to! (It was only halfway through it I thought "duh, SRV!" hehe) Nice one.
