It's not really fair that Hook's been doing all of the heavy lifting on this fest so far, so here I am to share the load.

Listening to Hook's three versions have inspired me to have a go, so here is my humble attempt.  Guitar tracks are all off the Telecaster.  Bass is GB P-Bass and the drummer is my friend Logan (who is also a GB resource).  And I had fun singing.

Oh and it was mastered in LANDR.

Top Class Nick,
This is by no means an easy song to cover but you have certainly done it justice.

bravo Nick
copy of my message in Alfstone thread ;D

the idea of festival around a reference song is very good
like Alfstone,  I didn't know this song and congratulation to Alfstone (and James, I love specially this voice!...)

after the two versions  (three now  :)of Hook (fantastic,)It seemed to me difficult to propose something else with an also good level and well yes! Alfstone,James , Nick ODH made him!!!

congratulations all guys

Great version Nick... you have put a lot into this and it pays off.

Very interesting to here different takes on one track. Great idea for a fest.

Well done Nick

Good version Nick - particularly enjoying when the 'full band' kicks in. Tricky song to do although it looks simple on paper !

Pretty good Nick. You have a captured a nice version of a tough tune. I'm still trying to figure out how to approach this song.
