Yeah...
I wanna get one of my strats out - but it's past my bedtime... (it's certainly past the neighbour's bedtime anyway lol).
Loved it.
I'll be back for more :-)
At first I thought "he's uploaded, er, a recording of Jimi"! lol
Brilliant, captured the feel of the riff, the way he double-tracked parts, the whole thing...
Loved it.
Recorded over 10 yrs. Ago on my Zoom 10 track. It was the second tune I cut just messin with the chord changes. It has a very urban vibe and reminded me of cruising lake shore drive in Chicago.
This was also recorded over 10 yrs. Ago. I dig the middle eastern flavor chords and tones. It was my acoustic straight into the multitrack via a Dean Markley pickup.

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
C.S. Lewis once wrote about the concept of "out of simple evil comes complex good." These are trying times, an understatement if there ever was one. As you read this, you have uncertainties and fears for what our current situation means for right…
This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…
A total gtr inspired tune. The riff came first and I knew it needed thunderous drums. The rest fell into place. I envisioned this one being very Top of The Pops on a Saturday in 1971, or Granada TV in summer of' 70, depending on your point of…
Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised
The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night
Somedays…
LANCASTER STREET
Midnight in Cowtown. 90 degrees
Too hot for a blanket. Too hot for a sheet
The trash on the sidewalk is trying to sleep
Breathing the bus fumes on Lancaster Street
Sunshine brings tacos. Sunshine brings beans.
Sunshine…
I have always loved this poem by Robert Frost.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods…
A bit of a musical kinda song.....
I DID WRONG
Counting on my fingers, counting on my toes, the years go by, but life is so slow
where life leads, to where it goes ,where it’s heading, no one really knows
But a small mistake a wrong place…
Here is the latest Coffee Table Recording. We gave ourselves 2 1/2 hours to pick a topic, write the song, and record it. It was GREAT FUN!
I left the pre bantar in just so you could get a feel of the "mood of the room".

Incredible vocals. The song reminds me of something that would heard in a Tim Burton movie.
Great work Mr. Russe !! and killer vocal performance :)
instant classic:) so awesome ...needs to be heavily commercialized, music video etc...
Nice way to end it...great work :)
Really Cool vibe on this :)
Awesome tune. Love that Bridge section at 2:12 :)
Beautiful playing...love that guitar tone. It has a Santana/Bloomfield quality. Awesome!
Sweet song Greg ;)
Great writing and vocals. I feel the madness and unsettledness in the scratchy guitar part.
Listening to your songs evokes imagery of being a lonely and mysterious character stuck in an old dusty town.
Man this is beautiful!
TV does kill :)
SUPERB!!
Great tune Gary.
What I dig about these tunes is that they are reminiscent of music we are familiar with but does not sound dated. Great work once again :)
Oh this is a headphone needed for full affect indeed. Alot of cool things happening on this track.
This is brilliant!
:)
Always great intimate acoustic music from you. Another goody.
Big pop sound leaning on shoe gaze.
