If Blues and Hip-hop had a love child, or rather love children, they would be G. Love and Special Sauce.
Although they cannot be justifiably considered mainstream, G. Love and Special Sauce’s unique sound has attracted an ever-growing passionate fan base. G. Love’s lyrics roll off the tongue with a sweet and tangy delivery. For backgrounds, Special Sauce lays down a groovy bluegrass beat. The result is unexpected but nonetheless a joy to experience.
G. Love captivates listeners by connecting with them on a personal level. He’s able to relate to his listeners with the messages behind his songs. He stresses choice words to convey the passion behind his lyrics. Above all, G. Love and Special Sauce thrive off of the ‘average joe’ appeal evident in their songs.
G. Love, who happens to be buddies with Jack Johnson, has released albums on JJ’s record label. Johnson is even featured in G. Love’s work. The result is beautiful and unlike anything else out there. Check Rodeo Clowns for some JJ.
G. Love recently dropped a solo album, Fixin’ to Die. I’ve included two tracks from that album below. Hit the title track Fixin’ to Die and Just Fine.
