Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
A little fun riff that came from noodling on my Epi whilst watching the idiot box one night. It's kind of written for a friend who is a little lost in a self-imposed exile from life.
A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!
Just stopped by for a listen. I agree with the lyrics on this. Seems to me, based on what I've heard, that the good Lord takes us all as we are. At least I hope he does.
Regards.

What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo?
This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.
Listen…
Digging this one a lot too. Only you can know what you like to play, but I think your niche may be the psychedelic tinged material, your voice suits it very well and reminds me of post-punk and new wave like Wire, Stranglers, XTC etc. Good work.
P.S. most of the people at Garageband are tone deaf.
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…

Just stopped by for a fix of good rock and roll. I must say, based on your description, that perhaps you should let things get away from you more often. ;-/

Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…

There are two main reasons you still hear 70's music on the radio. 1) the copyright has run out and the station doesn't have to pay royalties any more, and 2) the music is better than everything else out there. Your music falls into the second category.

There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.
_______________________________________________
Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

**Nobody Loves You - A A J Russe**
Nobody loves you
Like you…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
This is the first thing I recorded using the telecaster you can see in my profile pic. It's a one-take jam played over one of those guitar magazine backing tracks. Thanks for the listen :-)
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
A remix in lieu of a cover for the Angie Fights Crime Covers Album. I can't sing in my house at the moment since it either wakes up the 5 month old, or pisses off the 3 year old. So I thought I'd try something different.
The original, is very…
Our cover of the Angie Fights Crime song "Fall Down Trying".
Featuring Bob Sorace on guitar and backing vocals and Leslie Sorace on backing vocals.
It's all a matter of he said/she said
If only he could remember what he said…

Hey, Gary. Just stopped by for a listen. Had a depressing day, and I needed a little good rock-n-roll to cheer me up. Thanks! ER
Again, excellent.
