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...

Like Cave street says.....Blue Rodeo, thats a good comparison, and that is a high compliment indeed, one of the best loved Canadian bands out there....you done real good here Andy.

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
I was quietly minding my own business…
reminds me a little of tom petty. don't you hate when random people tell you what your song reminds you of? anyway, really nice song. all of your stuff is excellent :)

Song 2 for RPM 2025 (I actually wrote this one first). Dusted off my electric guitar for this one (yeah, maybe I should practice more).
My heart is falling for you
Your heart, is longing to be free
And my days are very numbered
And you…
Excitement is one of ten songs on my new album "Treasures". The album covers a list of 10 words describing different characteristics of ENJOYMENT. The words are:
Love, Joy, Happiness, Relief, Contentment, Amusement, Pride, Excitement, Satisfaction…
First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…
Woah! Very dark. I was wondering whether you'd be doing RPM. I talked myself into doing FAWM again this and I'm now thinking "why did I do it?!?!?!" ... determined to finish but struggling at the moment! GOOD LUCK - there's at least one person waiting for the next one from you :)
music ,mixing and mastering , vocals /b,v/ guitar , lead gtr , bass , / keyboards used for brass and strings , played by myself , song written by myself ,...hope you like it thank you for your time .......cheers tony cee
Oh yeah, nice songwriting and arranging. Love it. Followed.... I've been very dormant on here for the last few years but I've seen your comments during that time - MANY thanks for those. I'm right in middle/start of the "write 14 songs in February" thing now... when I've got on top of that I'll start doing some serious listening.
Just a little something to take off the chill of the recent polar vortex here in MN. Thanks for listening!!!
ODE to the LAST LEAF
VERSE 1
This season is ending
Last leaf on the tree
When you’re the last leaf
Let go and be free
Free…
Just noticed I hadn't actually sent the comment I was typing when I listened the other day!!
Anyway, loved this :)
Had no idea I was about to start posting again myself!
Its been a while since I jammed with Norm so i've used his mile of sorrow and turned it into a Christmas song........Merry Christmas Norm .....
Christmas
it is here
Christmas
everywhere
On a moonlight drive with the midnight sun

A little more rock and roll than my normal mellow vibe. I might play around with this some more, but for now, it is what is :)
Guitar, bass, bodhran, vocals, and a casio keyboard drumkit.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

Based on a riff brought back to life after many years, and remembrance of a childhood fever dream. Wrap this in the context of the past two years and this is the musical result.
Sometimes life knocks you down and decides to kick a few times for good measure. It can be hard to push though at times, but it’s important to persevere because it can and will get better. This is a song about staying strong and remaining hopeful…
Since venturing beyond twenty atmospheres, our intrepid explorers were assumed lost forever. Never underestimate the human spirit and instinct for survival, especially when it’s fueled by a defiant shanty.
I’ll never understand those who are famous for being famous, and I honestly don’t care to. Unqualified influencers and fake internet gurus, this one's for you.
Faved in the first 20 seconds... I had read the blurb by then, YESSS, so I probably would have faved it no matter what it sounded like!!! lol ... It sounds cool too, so phew!
This song was written and recorded on Garageband during the month of February, 2022 as my submission to the RPM Challenge. It's a rough draft that I'll continue to work on in the future. Please forgive the recording quality...(I'm still learning…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
braw tell yer maw. fabulous andy
great sound very clean
One of the best songs I have heard on any internet songwriters site............ever
beautiful....that all i can say to this one .....beautiful
What can one say but, wow! This also has an Hank Williams feel in parts. The emotion of it. Seemed to be rather common in country music in his time. Gospel..soul..blues. You are quite the alchemist. This one goes on the space station with me too. :)
great job with the chorus effect at the chorus. it really does sound like there are three or four of you :)
Excellent!
Man, this is a real nice track...well done.
It's an absolute masterpiece... !
Three times lovely! Love your voice - got a great tone and some real power going on. Mix is gorgeous also.
very nice;)
This is just too good !!! Love it Andy !!!
Magic man!
Like Cave street says.....Blue Rodeo, thats a good comparison, and that is a high compliment indeed, one of the best loved Canadian bands out there....you done real good here Andy.
Excellent work, reminds me of Blue Rodeo, one of my all-time favorite bands!
Really like the chords changes and vocals.
Perfect vocals, and a nice mellow song. Very clean recording. :)
beautiful guitar work here
reminds me a little of tom petty. don't you hate when random people tell you what your song reminds you of? anyway, really nice song. all of your stuff is excellent :)
instant classic - really nice job!

Oh yeah, like it.
Nice one. And yes, very cool concept for an album, I'll check it out.

Cool! "Dark Arts", eh? LOL I'm coming back out of my long sleep - I'll do some more listening soon :)

Merry Christmas! :)
Woah! Wasn't expecting that! But yeah - play around with it some more. It's got a cool vibe.
Wow! I wanted to get away but I couldn't! That's really powerful... OK, now I need to go listen to 2112 as an antidote!
You'll be needing some of the black stuff with that one :)
Assuming it is hopeful! That's how I'm hearing/feeling it :)
Cool song. I like the imagery and the hopeful end to the verses.
Love it. This whole set (Abyss) is pretty inspiring - the ideas holding it together, the arrangements and recording, nice one.
Yessss. Utterly brilliant.
Oh yeah. Love it.

That's a gorgeous song.
Yeah, why not :)
Nice one.
