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 three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.
Only One

One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse
One reigns in…
Many years ago I read the Herman Hesse book Siddhartha. It tells the story of a family man who meets his dream girl and he leaves it all to be with her. She is what he lives for. Then she leaves him and he finishes his life sitting beside the…
Is this a new version? I'm sure I've already commented on this before.
Sounds like it could be a new version. But, what ever, I love it even more than last time. This is SUPERB.
Love the "odd" bass note at the end.
Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!
"Tether"
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Can we bring it together,
Can we call from the mountain to the valley…
Recorded Live in the cellar with a guitar track added after the initial recording....this is another song i wrote while in Germany ... hope you enjoy..

ok, dam! this is a long one at 12:18, mostly cause it is 2 songs. took all day to get a decent mix and I am stopping here now. slow and some nice chords and a metal middle.
for naught - is an 8:45 song, about a poor schmuck who just never seems…
I *think* I like this one more(?)
Feels a bit like more of a "guitarists" version? I was much more aware of "hey cool guitar" than one the other one.
I think it's one where you can do unlimited versions, and they're all as good as each as other and you won't be able to decide! LOL
I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…
This is the final track for the Metamorphis album, it is a musical soundscape, inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors. I have tried to paint a picture of the changing seasons and it should be taken in 1 minute sequences, 1 minute = 1 month…
This is a fine version. I'm with Brett - it sounds like early Genesis covering it. In fact, it makes me want to listen to the first few Genesis albums!
Nice one, gorgeous sound.
2nd song form the Bunker Sessions 2013..
Sunshine
The flower blooms all by its self
With the love from the sun and nothing else but a little rain and life becomes real
We need the sun and here it is
It sits above like gods…
Nice one.
But what's happening in that bunker this year? I mean, I disappear for a few months, and when I get back Reg has cheered up!!! What is the world coming to?
Very cool song.
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 .

Rockin stuff. I'm with James, it's got that fantastic vibe that The Who used to create. Loving the bass playing, and the guitar sounds are just "IT".
Like it. Don't know the original, but I like this.
Nice backer... nice waffle... = Nice one :)
Nice one. Love the live feel. It's got something of a "Led Zeppelin's acoustic set at Earls Court" vibe.
Superb song :)
Classy. Love the guitars. Fine song.
Oh very tasty.
Beautiful
Nice one. Didn't actually feel like 12 and half minutes. Epic, well worth a listen.

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.
More tasty wah. Some groovy bass-playing too.
And that wah-break... YES
Wow! That's a big sound. Those guitars sound superb.
Wot, no comments? No Faves? Love it. I get it, and the idea works for me.

Aww, this is a fabulous acoustic slide blues.
