Whiskey & Bananas Vol. 30

Feeling Free — Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators We’re loving this retro R&B/soul group of American-born Nicole Willis, based in Helsinki, Finland.  Half Moon — Janis Joplin Can’t go wrong with some lost Janis classics.  Naked Eye — Luscious Jackson Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since this alt-rock gem landed.  Shut Up Kiss Me — Angel Olsen We’ve featured Angel Olsen on a Whiskey & Bananas playlist a while back, but she’s too amazing not to include her new music here — we couldn’t be more excited about her new album coming out in the fall.  End Of The World — Anika An off-kilter, Nico-esque reimagingining of the Skeeter Davis classic. Sail Away Ladies — Odetta No one did it better than the legendary Odetta.  The Girl from Detroit City — Suzi Quatro 70s glam rock wunderkind & “Happy Days” actress Suzi Quatro reflects on her Detroit roots.  Heartbreak — Spike & the Sweet Spots This cover of a Shannon & The Clams original by local Chicago retro rock n rollers Spike & the Sweet Spots harkens back to a different era with stunning vocals.  Lady Scarface — Lydia Lunch One of the original NYC punk pioneers, Lydia Lunch goes cabaret in this hidden gem.  Spare Me Fetzer’s Blues — Caitlin Rose Young Nashville singer Caitlin Rose captures some of the best vibes that country music can offer.
