Contents: Chopsticks — Supernova — Support system — X-ray man — Shane — Nashville — Go west — Cinco de mayo — Dogs of L.A. — Whip-smart — Jealousy — Crater Lake — Alice Springs — May queen. Recorded at Idful Music, Chicago and Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Feb. 1994.
Notable lyrics: "When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing …" ("Whip-smart").
Personnel: Liz Phair, vocals, guitar; Brad Wood, drums, percussion, backing vocals; John Henderson, guitars; Casey Rice, guitars; Leroy Bach, bass.
Brian LaRue wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "Exile in Guyville gets most of the praise, but among Liz Phair's albums, Whip-Smart arguably strikes the best balance of provocation vs. listener-approachability, neither risking accessibility for the sake of sounding dangerous nor losing power for the sake of playing it safe. And it's all capped off by the semi-cryptic mid-tempo guitar-pop gem 'May Queen'" ("Advocations: Queen of the May," 5/1/08, p. 27).
