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…

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.

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

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.
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…
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.
A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

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…
This is one of my most prided works. It uses layering on a steel guitar arpeggio/melody. Instrumentation includes flute, guitar, strings, chorus, orchestral percussion and a few others. Enjoy!
It hit me...I know so many sides of so many arguments it's all become useless.

This is a GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY SONG
I laid down some tracks and Jeff, upon listening came up with this rant...
NO MORE
No more sin or sorrow foolish tantrum to a fault
No more dirth upon the land that withers under the assault
No…
This is another GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY piece from the VOICES CD...
DIAMOND - Monster Wave
It started with an earthquake half a mile below
Belching like a bull whip to make the water blow
Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained
Gravity…
As suggested by Haylie in the Songcrafters Suggestfest.
Always been a seminal song for me (i.e. the Soft Cell version). Great to have the chance to cover it.
Thanks Haylie

Well, friends, I think I may have over-banjo'd myself the past 3 years. It's not abandoned totally or permanently, but since the weather turned I've been feeling the need to turn to something else…

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.

Like it :)
Stunning!
Oh wow... 3 tracks that hit the nail right on the head for me.
And that's some pretty good ranting. Like this a LOT. It usually takes a while for lyrics to grab me, but this lot dragged me right in immediately.
Oh yeah, creepy. Like it.
That does sound good
Yes :)
Nice version! Takes me back to staggering drunkenly around the student union bar...
Fabulous.
Oh, this one's gorgeous.
Lovely. There's quite a bit of silence at the end of the track though (I'm working in another window and wondered where the music had gone!)
Haven't heard one I don't like yet!
Like it.
Very tasty indeed.
Oh yes! That works.
Listened to them all while winding down from work... Lovely stuff, just what I needed.
Loving these tracks :)
Just spent a VERY pleasant time listening to all your tracks while working. Nice stuff :)
Yep, I much prefer this version. I think it's a pretty good one too!
Like it!
