I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
I have always wanted to get down to the Bayou. Maybe you could introduce me to Marie sometime. It's an intriguing thought to meet a pistol packing gator plinking lady.
That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!

Do you ever have an idea / song that you just need to get out of you and recorded, even though it's so rough that you'll want to re-do it over and over again? This is one of those for me....

Here is my contribution to the Minnesota Association of Songwriters challenge: Write a song titled "Mississippi Moon" and use this chord progression somewhere in the song (adjust for the Key you are in) "C, G, Am, C, Dm"
You will find D…

Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural.
I am impressed. More please
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…

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…
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show's current songwriting challenge, "write a song with two words in the title starting with P".

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…

Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…

Nice Beatles vibe
Beautiful song
one song a day not R P M
this was fun, then tune a day is not the rpm challenge it is my thing........

No warning needed for this gem. Somehow that banjo is the perfect backdrop for this melancholy song.
Simple but nice.
Still one of my favorites!
Best song I’ve heard since Saskatchewan. Way to go Steve! https://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewan
Rather poignant ... in a nice way ...
Love it ....... An empty glass !!!!!!! Sacre Bleu ........

Hello Rodger Strong lyrics drew me in
Thanks Greg Plus size lyrics .
Recorded in the air using my antique amps and my oldest gear . Four track of course
Ok the 335 is tapped at enough treble to really bring out that special tone . The Vox is one of my personal favorites. Wish I had one again.
Oh so descending front ending then ascend to a massive middle eight . Great forward motion . Cutting slicing lyrics. Does it for me Jethro
Oh that’s why you are so difficult to deal with. I am just wrong How’s that working for you
Good one hr the fools who don’t get old school are sadly ignorant I get it.
morning Andrew. Your secret Celtic self is peeking out here, I think you should be your self more often on this highland rank , cus I think its sweeeeeeet
