30th anniversary of the phenomenal sophmore album by Liz Phair. After Exile in Guyville's success and indie welter weight winner in the early 90's circle Liz Phair brought Whip Smart to the shooting range. It performed well but maybe didn't get it's due. I speak with writer Liz Barker and sort out each other's early experiences with this amazing record.
