It has got Bill Brandon "Streets Got My Lady" on the flipside.

Never even knew about the original version although I had a feeling it was a cover. You don't hear a lot about knights and stuff in soul music!

Just looked it up on Spotify and I like it too!

So do I, and I don't even like Hippy Music

Could never get me head around John Edwards version, I mean-WHY????

Tony

You can make me a member of the "America's Tin Man Is Better Than John Edwards" club, too....

Both America and John Edwards versions of this song are great records for different reasons. I really love John Edwards voice and this is a great example of him metaphorically 'singing the telephone book', plus the extended guitar solo is tremendous.

America were a great and in some ways underrated group: it's a pity they are probably best known over here for "A Horse With No Name": not their best work in my book. There are some wonderful clips of the band doing Tin Man and Ventura Highway on a German TV show in 1974 on Youtube. George Martin once said that he considered them to be the most talented songwriters he ever worked with.

Not with a lyric that goes "there were plants and birds and rocks and things" it isn't...

...love "Ventura Highway", though

just checked out the america version on you tube,, i hate hippys, but this song floated my boat, quality song, still like john edwards but america does it by miles,
