Day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love

"Slip Away" - #TexAndTheHorseheads (1983)

In the mid-80s, Tex and the Horseheads absolutely owned Los Angeles - well, for a good 6 or so months at least. And that was exactly when my barely-teenage ass wanted desperately to slip away and fall in love for the very first time. This song was originally recorded to great effect in 1968 by Clarence Carter. But #Texacala, with that gruff grandma snarl of hers (Blixa Bargeld by way of The Rugrats!), made it into something way, way more special.

Hey somebody! Reissue this band's recorded catalogue pronto. There's gold in them thar grooves.
