| damn, I wish I had this on cd! ernie ford's rendition is a classic, but this one really, for me, does the trick. and I am a GIANT jazz fan. For everybody who is raving about how bad this is compared to ernie's... I get it... but it's eric fucking burdon... as far as I'm concerned, he can do whatever the fuck he wants with a song. Plus, save the awful generic 80s/polished production (for which eric cannot be blamed), this a GREAT fucking version. |

| the "production" of ... ( 2 months ago by RonaldHyatt) |
| the "production" of a song or the way in which a song was produced generally references the quality of it's sound. for instance, on this, the drums sound pretty much like a drum machine, the organ sounds like a cheap keyboard and... I dunno... you can't really feel anything as you could say, a 50s jazz recording. But it's an incredibly common problem and doesn't deter from this, it's such a great version! |

| Ernie's got a better voice for this. This is a modern version so the instrumentals are clearer and of higher quality. But Ford owns it. This guy can't touch Ford. |
