Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 15

Whiskey & Bananas Mixtape Series

Alone Again Or - Love The opening track (and one of only two not written by Arthur Lee) from Love’s opus, “Forever Changes.” The mariachi horns put it over the top. The Fife Piper – The Dynatones A little soul flute courtesy of the Hanna-Barbera record label. Yes, the Flintstones’ Hanna-Barbera. Boys Are Fine – Smith Westerns From Chicago’s own - girls know what boys want and clearly, boys will be boys. Like A Ship – Pastor T.L. Barrett and the Youth For Christ Choir From 1971 - A holy grail of gospel soul from the Southside of Chicago. Son De La Loma – Trio Matamoros A letter put to song from son to mother. The fact that this recording is over sixty years old only makes it more haunting. The Trip - Donovan This hippy, dippy, trippy Donovan tune could be interpreted different ways - drugs or a nightclub in LA called The Trip, depending on how your mind works. Change Of The Guard – Steely Dan Cut 4, side 2 of ‘Can’t Buy A Thrill’ that got lost in a stream of hits from side 1. Fugue State – The Funk Ark Brand new Jazz/Afrobeat from the D.C. based seven-piece ensemble. Who knew the nation’s capitol could be so funky? Baby Don’t Go – Sonny & Cher Follow up to ‘I Got You Babe’ – that Sonny Bono sure knew how to write a pop song. Teenage Kicks - Undertones Northern Irish punk from ‘77. Nobody does punk like the Irish do punk.
