Bjorn Nilsson Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I personally prefer America's original version... 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
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 You can make me a member of the "America's Tin Man Is Better Than John Edwards" club, too....
Garethx Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 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
Codfromderby Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 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,
