          Tobacco Road

          by Eric Burdon and WAR

          Though there are many versions of this John D. Loudermilk song. Lou Rawls, Spooky Tooth, the Animals. Burden's version with WAR was the firs time I heard it and has a special place in my collection .

            Weather Report - Birdland (of course on vinyl - the CD wasn't invented at that time and the modern "remastered" versions don't get the sound right)

            … and after all the years I still can't decide which version is better: The original from Weather Report or the one from The Manhattan Transfer.

              Hmmm??? Birdland, huh?
              By Weather Report and by The Manhattan Transfer, Eh?

              I wonder if it's the same Birdland as the one with which I am very familiar with Maynard Ferguson?

              Is the Birdland you're talking about an instrumental? Jazz?

                I also have a Birdland version by Quincy Jones.

                  The two songs that immediately come to mind with The Manhattan Transfer are - Soul Food to Go, which I have on a cassette and Boy from New York City.

                    The Weather Report version (with Jaco Pastorius!) is the original version, you could call the style jazz-fusion and yes it is instrumental, The Manhattan Transfer is the version with text and singing.
                    Quincy Jones?
                    Hm… I just listened to it at YT and it doesn't seem to have have the same drive as the older versions, but may be I've got the wrong version ...

                    The Maynard Ferguson version is a bit too much big-band sound for my taste, but it is a good interpretation, It just happens that I like the original better, it is more "in your face", if you know what I mean 😉

                    edit: About the other Manhattan Transfer songs: Big fan here, I think I have all of the LPs and CDs they have ever officially released and "Extensions" even signed by them. 😃

                        You've piqued my curiosity, QuHno. Whenever I get access to my sister's or my niece's High Speed Internet, I'll see about checking out some YouTubes of Weather Report's and The Manhattan Transfer's versions of Birdland.

                        "In Your Face," huh? In Your Face is good.

                              Personally the music I prefer is and was always Metal EBM (German mostly) like Agonoise, Combichrist, Retrosic…

                                    Silence for me too. There's way too much background noise and frankly my mind craves silence periodically. No radio… no television... no streaming from the internet... nothing but - well... the clicking of the keyboard. So I guess that's what I'm listening to right now. haha

                                      Tinnitus in both ears. Sounds like crickets or cicadas. I no longer hear the sounds of silence!

                                        I'm really sorry to hear that. How do you cope?

                                          It drives some people crazy but I am just used to it. I was an jet mechanic in the Air Force and I have an FAA airframe and powerplant license and worked for United Airlines and Lockheed and being young and invulnerable I was not faithful wearing ear protection. Plus I am a gun nut and when I was younger I did not worry about ear protection much. The damage is done and it is not reversible. If I wear my hearing aids I can overpower it and I obviously prefer a volume setting, on something that I want to hear, to be a little louder then normal folks like. Other then that it is like sitting in the woods after dark listening to the bugs and tree frogs.
