A great remake of "I'll Slip Away" – done by Charles Bradley
in a style that's even more soulful than
the Rodriguez original!
The Menahan Street Band provide backings – and are funky, but laidback too – with this nice echoey guitar underneath Bradley's vocals, and a snapping rhythm part that grooves along, yet lets Charles firmly take
the lead!
The flipside features
the original by Rodriguez – a bit moodier, and with a really dark and echoey quality!
