"I Wish Grandpas Never Died" Hook covers Riley Green for CountryFest

[Hook]

My daughter really likes this song and would walk around the house singing it with a crazy southern drawl...I know she's gonna hate my version. I got the uke/vocal track right at the beginning of the fest, in my car, and then it just languished. The drums are my cocktail kit with just the Br80 onboard mics. Steel Guitar is Thuumbjam.

Love it Hook, take a bow my friend... Alex

[Farrell Jackson]

This is a great version of this song Hook! I agree with Alex, take a bow!

[maxit]

and I wish I wrote this song Lol, or at least that I could sing it like you do ! Wonderful, wonderful cover !

[StephenM]

DKTS but I love your low growly voice....killer
in fact...you should get a dang cowboy hat...some boots and move to Nashville and sing like that...
it's what Taylor Swift did...ha...ha...but she don't sing that good!

[StephenM]

I am tempted to swear your singing is so good on this...and the friggin passion is off the charts

[TPB]

Well now I am ready for a cold beer and a smoke and I don't drink LOL this cover is smoking love the vocal cry in my beer and really liked what you did with the Drums
Bravo Brother
Tim

[Jean Pierre]

the deep voice reminds me a little of dear Tommy...and your first notes of uke always have the same effect on me...like "rain pearls from a country that doesn't exist *" that would flow nicely into my ears


* rain pearls from a country that doesn't exist citation d'une chanson de Jacques Brel(...des perles de pluie venues d'un pays qui n'existe pas... )

[Zoltan]

Those vocals again! Such a great sound and feel The kind of vocals that make the listener believe every word that's being sung. The playing is vibey and everything sounds comfy and well placed. Second only to your daughters "crazy southern drawl" version...

Some of those higher notes had an air of Brian Setzer to them. I got that vibe both from the sound / phrasing.

[Greeny]

Damn, this is SO good. Your vocal is totally convincing, and the musical layers are sumptuous. It's one of those covers where you end up owning it completely. Fantastic!
