Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
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…

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…
One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ).
Keep them coming!

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...

If anyone is interested in trying their own lead on this track let me know i will upload just the backing track.
Take care everyone and stay safe

She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
Haven’t uploaded any material in ages! I have been building custom guitars which has been taking up some of my spare time. This track features my first guitar build which I am playing over a backing track.
This was a collab between my old friend Joe and I from a couple years ago. I recorded the basic track and sent it to him so he could play the main melody/ guitar solo over it. I took the ending of the guitar solo section and reversed it to give…
Here an acoustic trial session of a song I’m playing around with at the moment. It’s half in French and half in English for now. One day, when time allows me :-) I will add musical instruments. For now questioning myself whether to do keep this…
Synths are meant to represent the fast beating heart of the technological city, with its busy trains and industrious people. The breathing is life, and the cheerful keyboard is supposed to be the fun and excitement of life in a city with a flourishing…
That beer on the table yours or mine?
I only left the room for a short time.
If you've gone and switched them I'm gonna be sad,
Cos that beer was the best one that I ever had.
Don't drink my beer, you hear?
I'm counting to 4 just to make…
I came back for a second listen on this one to check out the "60s studio tricks" again - but WOW, this song, the song itself, is a grower... 2nd listen, it could well be my favourite... The fade-in flanged part is "shivers down the spine" time... almost a pity it fades so soon after that!
And there's something really uplifting about this one. Each time the chorus comes round... fab.
Cool guitar sounds too - over the whole album - but I love them here.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Agree with Bethan great cover
My word, this is fantastic. Wonderful vocal, makes it compulsive listening.
What a performance! Most excellent cover.
ya floored me here, man
I won't repeat what I said at Songcrafters. You know I love this song. And all the others ... :)
Yes this is simply cool/would sound nice live.
One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ). Keep them coming!
Great song-writing - awesome delivery!
Think this melody would translate magically to a music box. Beautiful and bittersweet song. My, your vox are astounding.
You rule
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.
Hi, Andy! I just joined the site. Good to find all your great music here. :) Regards, Steffen

Comments made by Andrew Russe
Oh yeah. Cool playing.
Nice one
Made me smile there Greg
Wow. That's mightily cool.
Mighty fine playing.
That's cool. The reversed solo at the end works really well.
Well that's rather yummy
Wow... big sounds.
Like it, keep playing around with it. I think it sounds better in French - I feel more listening to it.
Sigh...
And this is amazing! Weird but utterly compelling.
Love it.
Yep, very cool. Shouldn't be my sort of thing at all - but it grabbed me. Excellent sounds too, really excellent.
This makes me smile. Love the funky guitar picking.
Yep :-)

And this one - I'm always a sucker for descending bass-lines!
On first listen, this was one of the standout tracks for me.
Well that was a very enjoyable 40 minutes - loved it all the way through - nice one, cool album Gary.
