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...

I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…

"You've buggered my day's recording!! I was meant to be working on a folkie thing... now I'm gonna be putting on the strat and reaching for the pedals!"
Ha ha! Sorry about that...nothing wrong with putting on the strat tho'
Cool track by the way :)

Great track! It's really hard to pull off the one man band thing convincingly, but you did a hell of a job of it here. Great vocals! Drums sound like the real thing too.

Geez, you have a great voice! I love your sense of drama in your tracks. I don't know it you used real or programmed drums, but they sound great. This is a great song, and on my fave's list now too.

What a tune...what an imagination you have! I love the tone on the guitar, not to mention the playing. Great vox and background harmonies. This is just awesome. Very impressed.

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
I did this collab with a chap Stephen Moore on songrafters he did most of the hard work playing and mixing i just donated the lyrics and vocal Thanks fors listening....

Poor old Reg everything was going swimmingly until he fell of the wagon, 6 weeks dissapeared and guess what his wife didn't understand and he's out on his ear again, he's got no one to blame but himself but he's gone a bit weird this time…
Love that "I want you" ... insistent and, er, creepy... And that spoken section is brilliant... it sums that awful situation up perfectly... there are no winners... only losers... Poor ole Reg! How on earth is he gonna talk his way out of that phone message?!!!

A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…

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.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Great song, love the sudden change of tempo in the middle. Really enjoying your voice! Perfect diction!
Nice ballad Andy. Pretty good piano playing if you ask me. Lots more goodies here for me to listen to - and listen I shall, as soon as time permits.

This has a hell of a swagger to it! Fine sounding guitar tones!

Great song and acoustic gtr sound! Your voice is so expressive too.

Nice one

I nearly fell off my chair with this one.
HAHAHAHA - I know the feeling well... Have you got a camera in my kitchen??! I never leave them quite that long... but I'm often washing up when she gets home. And I suspect I will be doing the same in 20 minutes or so...
Haha... same here. Cooking the curry for me and Mrs R is not actually filling the hole left by forgetting lunch while working at home...
Fab vocals. Love it.
Yep, this is mighty cool.
Oh yes. Makes me feel happy too.
Oh yes. Love this. Gorgeous song.
Digging the guitar sound here. And a very cool song.
Mmmm... Eggs and suasages and bacon and beans... MMMMMM... sorry? Did you say something else? Missed it, I was thinking of something else... :)
Hehe... yeah, I keep thinking we need them to turn the internet off... no, wait... that won't work...
I love your titles. More cool sounds here.
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.
