Heartless Bastards - “Done Got Old”
If you’ve ever washed the stamp off your hand just to see if the bartender ID’s you again, then this song is for you. If I’m the only one who does that, and you simply want to hear a young woman who sounds like Janis Joplin, then here. Erika Wennerstrom and her band, Heartless Bastards, are currently in the studio working on a third album with producer Mike McCarthy (Spoon). They’ve opened for Wilco, and they played at SXSW 2005. The lyrics are soulful just like her voice, and she plays the guitar and piano. She’s much closer to 30 than she is to 20 in case you were wondering.
