Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 15

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.
