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…
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…
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...

My nephew Spencer or (SZC) as he goes by wrote this song entirely as we were talking about the sad news of Robin Williams passing in a conversation last year and how it felt. So he asked me to do the vocals and guitar.. He will be joining alonetone…
Fellow alone toner Gary Talbott kindly volunteered to add some of his own vocals and strings to this song, so I gladly took him up on it. Fun to keep evolving this one. Thanks Gary!
I wrote this song earlier this week, and reached out to the wonderful Greg Connor and SL Krell here to help me with the lead, rhythm and bass guitars to give it a nice country love song feel. They killed it!!!!!! Thanks to them both for making…
I've been listening to these in the wrong order, haven't I? Love this version - only just spotted it - love the song anyway, but those slkrell licks (P90s again, Steve?) are to die for...
Nice collab guys :)
I hate when I write the ending first...This is the 4th "bit" written in "The Room Over The Garage" or simply, "The Room" 2 minutes of pretty much the same progression...but it will coax out the rest of the tune. We write in "bits" or "pieces…
I was up early this morning before the children so i got me and Les to do and ad-lib song in one take....i wish i had turned the mic down a bit as you can hear me hitting the strings but hey its a kind of percussion...isn't it?
Have been busy this last few weeks with DIY children wedding photos coming out of my ears. But finally found time to pick Les up and create something and came up with this one....Hope you enjoy!!(live in the cellar)
Everyone
Everyone wanting…
Here's a couple of old one's. Having had my left wrist crushed between a Scaffold pole & a nice lump of Steel at work, need a few more weeks rest before I try a strum or two !!!!
The local songwriters were in my living room earlier this week, and we had a great night. We recorded a live version of this song I posted earlier this month, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing Colin W, Greg C and Scott Z playing and singing too!
Love this - I'm sat at the back of an empty concert hall, wondering why the bottle is empty and why my head is spinning, and which way the night bus is... but it's ok cos there's a bloke on the stage playing the noises in my head.
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
Interesting work.good live sounds.The voice is sometimes strong and powerful ,but yet becomes soft and delicate in other moments.Well,thank you for your comment about our songs.Bye!

Like it - fits with my mood.
Aww, this is fabulous.
Loving the sounds you're making.
Yes :)
Oh yes... I've been listening to the Allmans a lot recently. Nice one.
There doesn't seem to be a comment from me on this wonderful track... *fixed*
... cool additions on this version.

Works for me :)
Nice one And I quite like the "mic picking up the strings" effect
It's still the business :)
Woof! That's quite a performance. Love it.
You're getting some fine grooves going in these songs. Loving the bass sound.
And the false ending! Long track, but classy all the way through :)
Love the WOoooOOoooOOOoo's! Big funky rock sound. Magnificent. Like it when it goes down to just bass, drums and vocal - great groove.
I'm playing catch-up - how's the wrist? Hope it's OK.
:)
Someone's been listening to their Saturday Night Fever album!
That's a fine sound. And it's cool to hear some real people playing/singing together in a room. Nice song too.
