Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 19

That’s Love – Oddisee This rap/soul crossover jam dips into Santana-centric funk while lyrically touching the soul. Get ready, we think Oddisee is about to blow up. Mercy, Mercy – Don Covay RIP to the great Don Covay who blessed us with this tune in 1964. Somebody by the name of Jimi Hendrix plays lead guitar here. Dos Cobras – Clear Plastic Masks Slowly builds from nowhere with a cymbal crash into a keyboard driven jam of twisted funk. Turn it up! Randy Scouse Git – The Monkees The Monkees get criticized for not writing their own songs and playing their own instruments. The Monkees wrote this song and play their own instruments on it. Miles – Barry Adamson This is an ode to Miles Davis from Adamson’s album Oedipus Schmoedipus, featuring the reggae rhythm section of Sly and Robbie. Eko – Fela Kuti It’s Fela, no other description needed. Amor – Julio Iglesias From the man who invented the term “International Superstar”. Current Carry – Vetiver Easy like a…like a Sunday morning. Yep, that’s what this feels like. Livin’ For Your Lover – Chris Isaak Rockabilly from the Bay Area off his freshman album, side 1 cut 3. Dig. Early In the Morning – Gap Band Best listened to in the AM with a cup of coffee in your hand.
