Whiskey & Bananas #20

Over Under Sideways Down – The Yardbirds Rated #23 on Rolling Stone’s list of greatest guitar songs. Why? Two words – Jeff Beck. Optimo – Liquid Liquid If you were in NYC in 1993, this is what dance punk with a Brazilian backbeat sounded like. Jello and Juggernauts – Unknown Mortal Orchestra Jello and Juggernauts, meet Whiskey and Bananas. Anunciacao – Caetano Veloso Hard to believe it was melodic songs like these that led to the legendary Tropicalia musicians political exile from Brazil. But in the late ‘60’s, it did. Shake & Tremble – Django Django Scottish beach pop that kind of sounds like the band’s name, all Django-Django-y. Growin’ Up – David Bowie The Thin White Duke covers The Boss. After Sunrise – Sergio Mendes and Brazil ‘77 La, la, la, la, la…Whiskey & Bananas is feeling very Brazilian this month. U.S. Blues – Grateful Dead “Red and white, blue suede shoes, I’m Uncle Sam…how do you do?” We love it when the Dead get all patriotic. Put Your Hands On Me - Joss Stone If Amy Winehouse is the Beatles, then Joss Stone is the Rolling Stones. Let the debate rage on. Lonely Sea – The Beach Boys A dark and depressing deep cut from the early BB catalog. Brian on lead vocals.
