I'LL SLIP AWAY by CHARLES BRADLEY & THE MENAHAN STREET BAND / RODRIGUEZ

Celebrating Light In The Attic�s 10 year anniversary in 2012, the label's releasing a series of very special colored vinyl 7�s. The series features contemporary artists covering a track reissued by Light In The Attic on the A-side, plus the original version on the B-side !Charles Bradley � known as �The Screaming Eagle of Soul�, and for good reason � tackles �I�ll Slip Away� by one of Light In The Attic�s big success stories, Rodriguez. Dating back three years before his defining Cold Fact album, �I�ll Slip Away� was the Sugarman�s 1967 debut single for Impact Records. In Rodriguez�s hands, it�s shuffling, tropicalia-tinged folk. In Bradley�s hands and backed by the inimitable Menahan Street Band, it�s a vintage soul stomper. A side is produced by Thomas Brenneck and recorded at Dunham Sound Studio, Brooklyn, NY, July 2012. B side features the original Rodriguez version as remastered by Dave Cooley.
