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…
Rock instrumental. Recorded Christmas 2008.
I'd struggled with a DAW. I'd stopped recording. And then my lovely wife got me a Boss MBR for Christmas. I thought this little thing the size of a fag-packet would be a nice "scratch-pad" songwriting…
A cover of Larry Wallis's fine ditty (it's always been one of my favourite Dr Feelgood songs).
This was my second recording with my Boss MBR, recorded early 2009. It confirmed for me that I was a "standalone recorder" kind of guy, and there was…
Pop-rock tale about a character in a novel that I fancied. Recorded in 2009 on a Boss MBR.

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
Haven't listened to this wonderful song in a while although I have it on my mp3 player (like all your other songs too).
Great to hear this beauty again.

I usually do not listen to cover songs, but a cover done by one of my favorite musicians I could not resist. :)
Great adaption, Andy. Still I prefer your original songs by far.

Tell me where did you find it, was it lying on the ground?

Out in the pouring rain

It all started with a tinkle on the ivories
Blue eyed boy
some say you’ve got it

The harmonious Tounge
That can sing a love song
With all the good intentions gone

Song 10# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Wrote this today with my synthesizer, drum gadgets and keys. A bit dark, maybe for a movie about an assassination. This concludes my RPM for this year :) Thanks to anyone who has listened.
Into the light…
Track 1 of my Mulligan EP, recorded for the 2025 RPM Challenge. Inspired by my time working in betting shops, of all things. I used my Variax Standard for most of the guitar sounds, trying to get something like a Biffy Clyro type of sound.
Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I've experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is…
Is THIS why I didn't get her???? I was certain Santa had her wrapped up ready for me this time and then on the day it was just the usual stuff under the tree
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Sweet Blues! hell yea!!
Love the slide guitar!
Too cool!! Nice slide!
A fine little blues. When I hear you do such vocals I'm always afraid you'll lose your voice! ;)
You tell me I can handle different styles? It's you who really can! Great guitar playing!
We owe your wife something. :)
I don't know the original, but this one is pretty good.
Great 70s vibe to my ears. Give us more! :)
Impossible not to love this song. Definitely a song to be proud of.
Simply Great, Andy. You set the bar high.
BTW - I've just looped this songs three times. :D
bliss !!!
Oh heavens...what a vocal!!! Great cover!
Hey, I must have missed this one. Downloaded! :)

Very classy work! What a pro.
I hope Sir Paul gets to hear this, I don't know who you are but you sing this equally as well if not with more passion
Great job mate very cool cover.
Brilliant .

Yeah, digging these tracks. The drumming is very cool, especially noticed it on this one.
Oh yeah, love this one
Oh yes... digging this. Good opener!
A powerful set of songs, and a really good listen, well done.
Woah. Powerful stuff. Didn't need the meaning (or I didn't need it), I didn't get the details but I got the point - really moving.
Love the story behind the title - I've got songs like that too. One of the reasons I am SO MUCH of a one man band is because of bad experiences with bands. Cool song.
Powerful stuff
Rocking!
Oh yes.. And a mighty fine RPM guys... well done!
Oh yeah... nice
This one jumped out at me.
I'm having to look up words with this RPM! :)
Love the groove on this one. I can almost feel like I'm in the room while you guys are playing it.
WOAH! What an opener
Aw yes... love it. And it reminds me - I haven't finished listening to Lonely in the Park :/
Well done! You weren't sure you were going to finish when you started were you? Nice finish.
Cool sounds! Like it.
Mrs R loves it too (she was already gone to bed yesterday)
Is THIS why I didn't get her???? I was certain Santa had her wrapped up ready for me this time and then on the day it was just the usual stuff under the tree
It's a cool "stomp". We liked it (me and Mrs R) - does sound like you're having fun.
