Remembering Gene Eugene includes interview footage from members of his bands, Adam Again and The Lost Dogs, as well as many other musicians who were significantly influenced by Gene, either in-studio or on-stage. During Gene’s last days on earth he recorded three covers, “Something About What Happens When We Talk” and “Famous Blue Raincoat,” by Leonard Cohen, and “Coming Back To You” by Lucinda Williams. According to Gene’s dad, Gene L. Andrusco, “The three songs were recorded in the Green Room just before Gene’s untimely death in March, 2000. We decided not to edit the tapes in order to leave his interpretive feelings.” They are available for the first time on this digital-only album.

Wow! I just listened to this memorial about Gene Eugene. My eyes and cheeks are soaked, and there’s a great, thick lump in my throat.
I’m just an average guy from New Jersey, who stumbled upon a cassette tape of Gene Eugene and Adam Again sometime in the late 80’s. The album was “A new world of time”. I was around 30 years old, married, with 4 kids under 8. This album, and all the rest from Gene and Adam Again kept me and my family singing and dancing in our little home in North Jersey for years! I love music, and I love Jesus! Up until that time there were only a few really authentic Christian bands that really impressed me as “real, heartful and honest”!
I’m 65 now. Over these many years, Gene’s music has travelled with, and helped me in ways I cannot properly explain here!
I Thank The Lord for Gene Eugene, and his musical effect in my life! He’s like the best and dearest friend I never met! Thank You for sharing this testimony to him and his humble, soulful style of “walking with the Lord” in his music.
I Thank God for Gene Eugene!
(And I thank you, for this chance to tell you what he meant to me!)
In Jesus’ Name…
