Sometime during the summer of 2021, through the vision of Monsieur Brendan Cawley, the band know as Cody Lee's Last Detail, came together in the glorious city of Chicago.  Featuring the talents of aforementioned Brendan on Fender Bass, Caleb Ramos revealing the mysteries of the guitar, Larry, "ain't no beat, I can't beat" Beers on the drums, and songwriter Cody Lee on guitar & lead vocals.  It was a match made in heaven.  Bringing together the disparate influences of the last 60 years of music, a true ability to listen to each other when they play, and a behind human, desire to bring forth Cody's songs(as well as, young Messrs. Cawley & Ramos), this is the the band the Illinois Music Monthly just wrote "The Chicago band to watch in 2021/2022.    Please check Instagram & The Book Of Face for the band's live schedule.

Early Reviews are In!!!

Tedi Lopez Mills -  I love it. 

Gary Moss - Love this record, Cody Lee! 

Kim Lopez-Mills -  It’s great, Cody Lee! ♥️ 

Dean Landew - Toot your horn. Another excellent album. You continue to go your own way, with top-notch results. 

Binky Philips -  Way way back when we were all playing Max's and CBGB hoping for the A&R gods to show up, one of the best bands that, like The Planets, came this close to the mythical record deal more than once, was Falcon Eddy led by my friend, Cody Lee. Like me, he simply never stopped making music regardless. True to form, he's just released his what? 4th album under the lovely name, Johnny & The Whatnots. The name is silly fun, the music is not. These are sophisticated songs, musically, lyrically, sonically. The vocals are hushed and pull you in. The lyrics are serious and seriously good. Cody has lived life and it shows in his music. Real heartache. Quiet but defiant angst. Wit. Lots of 12-string ear ambrosia. While Cody's influences are fully integrated, I hear Tom Petty, Pete Townshend, Elton, Bruce, Roger Waters, Beatles, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, and a singer I can't place. The album also features a killer emotive version of the Velvets "All Tomorrow's Parties" arranged to give you the same wistfulness as "Hand Bags And Glad Rags" by Rod the Mod. Okay, enough from me. Here's the link to Cody's wonderful songwriting and performing. 
So there!

My New Guilty Pleasure have rerecorded their song "SHine".
