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.

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!

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…

Don't let it go, don't let it burn out so slow; like a bar of soap in your match-jar.
Cause even when things hurt the most, don't let it go.
And when the wick burns out, when your house remains a parsed kind of fall.
When the rambling chords…
This one's a grower. Took me a couple of listens.
Love how your guitar playing seems to be changing. I like the percussive guitar styles you've used as well (in fact, I've been trying to figure out how to use them myself - not much success yet!) so don't drop them altogether!
Facebook is a horrible thing. The real world keeps intruding into the perfectly peaceful virtual world.
REAL MEN
Real men, keep stealing', my pretend girlfriend
Real men keep butting' in. They've done it again. Real men
No one seems to…
A song about, well, s**t happens, but all in all, it's alright. Thanks to TwoRegs (singing), Freight Drive Reprobate (singing and harmonica)and Lady Jane (Singing in posh mode). Hope you like.
More roars... What a voice you have Mrs Smith.
Many years ago I knew someone who could do this kinda thing. Me and my drummwer used to sit at the foot of her mic stand at her gigs, she sat at the foot of my mic stand at ours ... we only spoke to each other once, just to say "hi" lol
Bonding with a new guitar
Bittersweet is not just for chocolate
If you put any more change in my pocket
I'd sink in a bathtub
Since I've been gone
You've moved on
Everything's different
but the feelings remain
yet another sign of change
A…
Love it. It was one of my favourite songs when I was little.
This is a gorgeous version - I was expecting a more "wailing" version, which is what I'm used to... so this was a surprise. It's superb.
Back the car, down the boulevard
Right up on the beach
And when the sea, comes crashing in
You, won't hear a thing
There's dreams, painted above the waves
And their caps at your feet
With light-house on point, fisherman beyond
Blue and…
Who's that knocking at the door
It's the sand
In the wind
with the truth and more
Seagull in the sky
Soar like an Eagle
Pray in sights
Fly in to the sea
Dive down deep
You will find me
Only then you rise
Phoenix flys
To golden hights…
"I Can't Write Love Song" was inspired by a series of letters written from home to one of our millitary fighting during WWII. The real twist is that these letters were written only a few short years ago.
I was picking up my wife from her job…
The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.
WOOOF! This is a live one isn't it??
Superb stuff. When I was playing live there was two types of sax players: 1. "oh sh1t, does he really have to jam with us, guys?" and 2. "tell you what, I won't bother playing any guitar solos tonight, the sax man can do it all"
You'd be in the second category. Superb :)
Listened to a good few ("Smooth" down here to Hope) while fixing a table before the in-laws come round.
I don't listen to this kind of stuff much, but WOW what a band... really enjoyed it. You guys must be absolutely great live.
Yep, I think I prefer this version. It's real close though - I think it's one of those where the artist hears a big difference and the rest of us go yeah, cool... lol
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Wow!!! Loving it all......ooooh dem Blues sure sound good........
that's a damn nice groove and that totally rare thing - a believable vocal! faved
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.
Nice one mate dig it

This is excellent. Shades of sonny landreth! Vaisvil
I like this one :)

Oh yeah, like it. Love the big sound you get with acoustic arrangements.
Oh yeah, this is a real cool track. Love it.
Nice one. Very nice one.
Fantabulous. Wonderful. Superb. One of those "need a SUPER-FAVE button" tracks.

James beat me to it with the "mid range" comment on the new guitar. Loved that roar from you :)
Love it. It was one of my favourite songs when I was little. This is a gorgeous version - I was expecting a more "wailing" version, which is what I'm used to... so this was a surprise. It's superb.
A wonderful song. Love the "a crown and its frog"
Woo! This is a bit of departure from your recent stuff - wasn't expecting this at all. I'd forgotten that you'll take on anything! Nice one.
Gorgeous vocal on a very fine song. Really interesting story to go with it.
Oh yes. I'm with Kirk on this. Fabulous.
My oh my this sounds good.

Ooooh yeah... smooth as flip. Fine horn playing, very tasty...
Both southern... ... and comforting :)
