Are You Done?

Well, I’m almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I’ve been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I’d actually settled down to finally record a piano song I wrote last year… but that’ll have to wait because the new(ish) Les Paul had different ideas…
I used her exclusively on the last one, Dancing Girl, but I hadn’t really let her play like she wanted to. I was just warming up the machines and wondering how to do a click for this piano ballad, and then Lucy the Les Paul decided to let rip…
It was obviously a Gibbons/Hill/Beard sort of thing, so I dug out some shuffling type rhythms and the innuendo dictionary…
Are You Done? - A A J Russe
Well I’m all dressed up and polished
We got the moon that shines so bright
When I asked if you should care to come
You said, honey, I just might
So I’m waiting here
In my fighting gear
Are you done?
Honey don’t be long
No, not too long
Until you’re really done
So I wandered down to your harbour
To get a feel of the fishing-net
Put your money where my mouth is
I ain’t known it to fail us yet
So I’m waiting here
Is you ready dear?
Are you done?
Honey don’t be long
No, not too long
Until you’re really done
Well girl you got some moves on you
Honey, you got skills
But you take so long to get it on
Your make-up and all the frills
So I’m waiting here
Got my wheels in gear
Are you done?
Honey don’t be long
No, not too long
Until you’re really done

Now this is my kind of rock n roll! You have the whole package... guitar playing, vocals to die for & superb production. If you were playing anywhere near me, I'd be there like a shot! Thanks for the kind comments on my stuff too, mate. As you asked... all my guitar tones are from a VOX Tonelab amp modeller, which I record dry & add reverb/delay in the final mix.

Okay....yes I just read that you had resurrected "Lucy" from snuggly guitar case. Nice:)

Rockin tune. Yes, I agree..has a ZZ vibe for sure. Sounds like a Les Paul standard????

Nice production on this - powerful guitar sound. You sound American, not English! I've lived in the USA for 40 years and still sound English! Paul

Sweet, free swinging guitar sounds. Enviable production. Maybe not single material but still captivating enough!

Just realised that I didn't make it obvious in the blurb... I was actually doing my utmost to sound like early ZZ Top once I'd realised what was happening. The vox and instrumental got performed and recorded with that in mind. So I'm kinda relieved/gratified that folks can spot the ZZ Top in there!!

That's six days and 22 hours longer than most of mine but then it does show yours are much classier love that guitar and the vocals as good as ever ... Great lyrics too
