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!

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 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…

Acoustic blues. Recorded in 2005. I was trying to record something else, can't remember what, and the missus was going out. She had cyclist Lance Armstong's book, or was talking about it. Sounded like a great title for a song as well as his book…

I was going to do another instrumental but heard a song at the start so changed direction and came up with this one...
Another day comes
Yesterdays youth seem miles away
As age creeps on day after day
Life isn’t what it used to be
And no…
Glad you changed direction - powerful song. Liking that insistent piano motif... during the instrumental (cool wah on the guitar!) I was suddenly aware of why I'd been feeling on edge all the way through... kind of focuses me on the lyrics. Cool.
A collab with Mike_S over from the otherside at songcrafters on his instrumental track King & Country which he kindly took the lead off for me to play with and i came up with this Thanks Mike

"Treasure" is an alt rock song that i wrote.
Lyrics:
Dig it out
Leave it in
Seven inches underground
In the shade of crooked tree
I can't stand another night
Wrap it up in plain white
Lift me up then bring me down
I like having you…
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…

This was all written on the bass - I wanted to get an earthy 70s Rickenbacker bass vibe on this so naturally there's liberal splashes of Moog and Hammond Organ to accompany it.
It's kind of 'prog-lite' and again needs vocals. It's a working…
I managed to work on 16 songs for this year's 50/90 before I did something strummy in 6/8 time. I've started working on another 21 songs since and I've yet to do another one. That will likely change before today ends. Sorry, strummy songs in…
I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar.
I…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Nice groove. Ever heard any Fred Eaglesmith? Backing reminds me of his band - a very good thing in my world!
Wonderfully bluestastic tune. Great vocals. Love the Muddy Waters-ish guitar too.
Always loved this one and you did a hell of a job with it! Great vocals!
Excellent! :)
Let's not mince our words here. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Astonishingly pro - very shiny indeed! I can't believe I missed it.
Love your vocals man. I'd like to hear the whole band thing on this one. Bass, drums, piano, harmonica - oh yeah!
Really enjoyed that!
Wonderful arrangement - haunting delivery. I love your voice...great LIGHT and soft shade!
Well, you sing it so well. Sometimes we just have to get a song out of our systems. Thanks, that's great!
This track exudes rhythm. Super vocal and I love the guitar.

I like this one :)

Cool sounds
Oh yes. Digging the playing on this.
Love the feel of this. Then when I looked up and it was finished!

Love how this skips along. Nice chorus/hook. And that "Yeh, yeh, yeah..." before the middle 8 is just fabulous. Love it.
Oooh yeah, love it.
Woo. DIgging the lyrics.
Whoa! Yeah, that's kinda woken me up!
Cool sounds.
My A grade in O-level Russian (over 40 years ago! I'm getting old!) gets me as far as "Black City" ... but not much further... Mighty cool track.
Ooooh yeah... ROCKS. Love it. Love the lyrics.
Oh yeah... this washes over me nicely.
Kinda trippy. Love those guitars.
Like it. Relaxing at first, then kind of unsettling. Love the sounds.
Very cool sounds
Awww... second listen... it's gorgeous. Do some more!!! :)
Oh flip... YESS! Love it. Great to hear new stuff from you... and Norm too! Mighty cool. Love that guitar with the stereo delay.
Nearly missed this! Digging the bass sound...
6/8 is good :) ... cool set of songs in this batch. Keep going!!! :)
Oh yeah this one stands out big time. Love the build up. Love the space under the lead.
