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…

Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note.
I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.

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…
Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the album. I was pretty happy with it for my first RPM and my first real dabble into that style of playing. I will be swinging back by to check out your tracks!

This is a good song played well, and I really dig your gritty vocals! I'll have to post some of my blues stuff. It's not much different than what you're doing
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…

Time to write about other things
This one's for my muse
I had uploaded an earlier version, but didn't like the mix
here's another version

So many years we've been…
This is sort of two songs stuck together. That wasn't the plan, it just sort of happened. The only thing interesting about the noisier first half is the fuzz pedal on the rhythm guitar. Big Muffs really are harder to fit into a mix. I do love…
Loving the rhythm/groove in the choruses. Oh wow... yeah, that works... you're right moving the "middle" to the end instead. If it had gone back to the rocking I think it would have felt "So? And?" But like this it's "yeah, man, cool ending... dig those echoes... let's listen again"
April rain storms are exciting but I am warm and cozy in side.
wrote this after hearing that some people suggest a dream before settling in for the nite. My J 45 really wrote this tune I just sang along
Here is another ZOOM Collaboration with:
Steve Krell
Colleen Dillon
Roger Harris
Greg Connor
We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.
Empty Bottles…
This song is a work in progress. I attended an online songwriting workshop hosted by Chad Shank (Minnesota Songwriters Association) who was talking about songs with varying length lines to create more of a conversational atmosphere and the use…
Wow - when it started I was thinking "that's intense!" ... but then some work emails arrived and it made an EXCELLENT soundtrack to telling them how they'd f***ed up! lol
Looking down the road as how sweet it will be after the bug” virus”
Is gone
Open the doors and windows , drive fast with the top down
We gonna drink some wine with friends o mine, pas the bottle around
Go to a block party…
I started to listen to this the t'other day but ran out of Time... (see wot I did there? hehe) (Mrs R dragged me away to do something important). Glad I came back - nice one.
Man, you're on a roll... Loved it. Steak and Texas Blues... I'm there. And I thought Kansas was just where Rainbow came from... or was was it Dorothy... or... or...
A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray
Blues lyrics are not required to be politically correct
A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! 😆
Your stuff is making me re-evaluate 70-80s keyboard sounds. At the time I loathed what I regarded as "keyboard heavy" bands. I liked piano and organ, and I was a huge fan of Queen and their earlier "no synthesizers" approach. You're making some cool sounds, though, pleasantly reminding me of stuff that must have seeped into my subconscious like it or not! :)
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
Oh yeah. Nice one. Love the title (although there is one bit I want to keep - I've kinda got used to working at home and REALLY don't want to go back to commuting!)
A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…
A new song

Prior to recording these Vocals/Lyrics my Microphone died on so i had to use my phone voice-recorder with not knowing how the sound would be. Anyway i had a blast making this Song.

Broken Dreams on repeat It’s a tie for the Grip…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Great, great song. The slide is perfect. Love the soulful vocal delivery.
My beer is all blurry ....
Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note. I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.
Love the dual guitar attack here!!!!
Wow, guys, that's a TREMENDOUS improvement on an already pretty impressive track. I love it. Great job!
Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the album. I was pretty happy with it for my first RPM and my first real dabble into that style of playing. I will be swinging back by to check out your tracks!

Damn fine slide work!
Great vocal.... a polished performance.....
Cool blues. Slide guitar really shines.
As Cuthbut says Tasty very Tasty........
Tasty blues, Andy!
Oh that's the blues alright :)
This is a good song played well, and I really dig your gritty vocals! I'll have to post some of my blues stuff. It's not much different than what you're doing
Wow so far all of your covers's are ace! ...so worth the listens....are you sure your not related to Jack Johnson?
This is sweet!
Any Beatles cover gets my best wish! i really like this man!
Sweet Blues! hell yea!!

Too cool!! Nice slide!

Oh yeah - I know exactly what you're talking about... I can say all that about someone here
Loving the rhythm/groove in the choruses. Oh wow... yeah, that works... you're right moving the "middle" to the end instead. If it had gone back to the rocking I think it would have felt "So? And?" But like this it's "yeah, man, cool ending... dig those echoes... let's listen again"
What a cool song. So good it needed a second listen immediately.
Oh this is just fab. Love the vibe/groove. And those shared verses, all these voices I listen to... all in one song! Love it.
Awww... this is fabulous. What a cool piece of songwriting. Love it.
Wow - when it started I was thinking "that's intense!" ... but then some work emails arrived and it made an EXCELLENT soundtrack to telling them how they'd f***ed up! lol
I just took delivery of a bunch of steaks/chops/wine ... I'm READY! (I have a feeling that this batch won't last until then, though! lol)
Yep this rocks.

Oh yeah, faved from the outset. "he rollllled his eyes" - loved the delivery of that line.

Aww this is a really cool song. Love the imagery.
Oh yeah. Nice one. Love the title (although there is one bit I want to keep - I've kinda got used to working at home and REALLY don't want to go back to commuting!)
Enjoyed it a lot.
Nice one.
Oh yes, that works for me.
Cool sounds.
Weird... and strangely compelling.
