And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard.
Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…

Another in an endless string of recordings that would have been saved by a competent singer. Maybe. I like the individual pieces of this song, but I don't think I like the song as a whole. Okay... maybe I don't like the chorus at all. I don…

This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…

I don't like the rhythm guitars on this one. I had both pickups on and now I wish I just had the bridge pickup. It would have been toppier and less muddy.

Nothing really noteworthy about this one except that it's in 7/8 time. If I didn't stop myself I'd write every song in 7/8 time. I just like my rock and roll in screwy time signatures. What's a red head to do, right?

Not sure of the mix on this one. I thought about putting a flanger onto the bass when it's the only thing playing in the middle of the song. I still might go back and do it.
