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…

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.

Such clean acoustic guitar sound. Like the way it grows/builds...how the sound of the voice fills out. Cool voice and song. Starts to sound like the Beatles at the end.

billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
I can't say just what it is I like about this but I do like it. Sophisticated yet primitive, world music sounds... I don't remember hearing anything quite like it.
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...

**Rabbit Boy - A A J Russe**
Well she don't mind crying…
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

**Now It's Done - A A J Russe**
I said it…
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...
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…
This is a collaboration with a prolific chap called James Higgins (oldrottenhead on songcrafters.org), based on an instrumental of mine from a couple of years ago: http://alonetone.com/andyr/tracks/muletide
I was quietly minding my own business…
The old tin geetar...
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…
Like the bruthas on the Southside of Chi town would say, "that white boys got some stank on him" Damn that some low down blues! We need to collab on a blues. I am convinced of this.
I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
I'm not on top of it as usual, guys. But I did manage to let Greg Brady out of my basement and set him free. This is his testimonial regarding the incident. I hope he can forgive me.
With my buddy Tod's killer drum track! Miss all you guys, I can't keep up...
Created on the Boss Micro BR.
I'm a faker, a shaker
A melody maker
At the bottom of my bowl
Is an oatmeal quaker
A grampy, a bampy
Make a killer shrimp scampi

THIS IS THE OLD YEURGH MIX - THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HIGHER UP THE LIST NOW, FULLY LOVED BY AR. THIS ONE IS LEFT HERE AS A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING OR OTHER (AND IN CASE YOU PREFER IT)
Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…
Nice songwriting. Listening to it I can here it in a full rock band format. It has a cool hook and lends itself to a more agressive sound. Your voices blend well, great songwriting and nice team.work!

Powerful You have some great sounding guitar licks here.
Digg'n the guitar fx.

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.
Wow the high register guitar tone is distinctive and super expressive. the back beat chord strokes are too cool. Faved
Instant fave! Absolutely gorgeous! A must share on our FB page! w;-)
Another good'n. Has some very beautiful and unusual chord changes in there. Takes me to some faraway windswept island.
very pretty and uplifting, hadn't heard this one yet.
Ya had me with the first lick. Nice. I love this song and this is a great cover of it. :)

Nice. :). Do I hear a KORG in there? T-series or M-series maybe?
*click* instant fave! Love the groove! w;-)
Nice voice AND MELODY.

Really nice! Keep on!
Awesome.
Big Sound I hope we get a chance to hear the whole album.
Sounds great,nice one!
There's nothing better than getting your voice back! Great track :)

Fun lil blues tune....has a Brian Setzer vibe without the rockabilly hooha.
Oh yes. Very nice ballad. Fave!
Nice rendition here. Curries music was a big influence this past year for me. I am glad someone else enjoys it also.
Always killer vocals.
Echoes of Thin Lizzy here. Nice bite on the guitars.
Like the bruthas on the Southside of Chi town would say, "that white boys got some stank on him" Damn that some low down blues! We need to collab on a blues. I am convinced of this.
Nice music score....beauty!
Has a very cool Santanaesque vibe......Winning!
Exquisite.....perfection.
Groovy man! That is killer! I think he was boinking Flo Henderson.....she was a vixen.
i love the reference to cocoon....brilliant!
Thats incredible....I dont know what genre....I dont really care...Winning!
Beautiful music right here.
Nice 60's vibe....with vibrato guitar sound. I dig the background vocals. Groovy psychedlic.
I love that album....461 Ocean blvd. :)
This is like Neil Young getting together with Queen and doing a ballad. Very cool arrangement!
Never heard it done like that....very cool rendition. Ciao!
Thats beautiful. )
Thanks Beth. Had know clue this was a cover of White Stripes. Its such a good cover it sounds like there own.
Nice songwriting. Listening to it I can here it in a full rock band format. It has a cool hook and lends itself to a more agressive sound. Your voices blend well, great songwriting and nice team.work!
