It's Marvin Gay's song, in Jeffrey Lee Pierce's arrangement. It's been legendary since JLP mentioned it in the VPRO documentary - now we can also watch it - TEX style! thanks

You know, Rankin' Jeffrey Lee was behind this arrangement tho Texacala and her Horseheads do a FINE job of pullin' it off. Not so swift on vid response so, search out Jeffrey Lee Pierce - Jeffrey`s Blues 1987, part 1 and check out 5 min 25 sec for a clue. Thanks so much for posting!!!!!!

I really like this series of Black & White videos of Tex and the Horseheads. That camera actually did vurry well and the sound is good. Seems they make that Marvin Gaye song their own. Thank you!

I can hear the riff of the original - but that's about it

nice work as usual!

I was hoping you'd make it out to the buck owens' tribute at the elbo room last week - good times!

I was thinking about checking out the Buck Owens show, but nobody offered a ticket, and I didn't feel like doing the 50 mile drive that night... Instead, I stayed home and edited more video..
