"New Amsterdam" Hook covers Elvis Costello(suggested by Cuthbert)

[Hook]

One of my absolute favorite tunes, I loved working this out so thanks Cuthbert great suggestion. I dropped the key to F to make the vocal a bit less strained & I gave it a wandering bass line to make up for the wandering keyboard part in the original. Only one suggestion left !!
1 uke/vocal (stereo)
1 shaker egg
1 tambourine
1 bass (TJ plucked stand up bass)

New Amsterdam

written by Elvis Costello
performed by Hook

Oh yeah, you stretched out for this one, and it worked fantastic.  Great job Hook.  You almost get a real Costello tone to your voice.  Shit man this is too cool for words.

Wow!! One of my favorite tracks from Get Happy!, done in fine Hook style. I knew it would be great, and yet I'm still blown away by everything that went into it...another big grin for me.   

Your vocal is absolutely perfect, and I love the uke and walking bass combination. Great job on the percussion as well  (always love the hand percussion)...this is just tops!

[Jarle]

Well done. The bass is just perfect for this arrangement.

JOA

[Farrell Jackson]

Great worked on this song Hook! Your voice does sound a lot like Elvis' in spots. The TJ stand up bass rocks...good one!
