With Beck's unexpected commercial breakthrough, everyone's suddenly interested in a new kind of music best described as "slacker-rap." Although it uses the sing-song cadences of hip-hop, it's the polar opposite of gangsta rap; in both its laid-back delivery and self-deprecating lyrics, slacker-rap acknowledges vulnerability and failure. It was done first and best by Washington's Basehead, but it gets an invigorating twist on "G. Love and Special Sauce," the eponymous debut album from this Philadelphia trio.Definately what put him on the map,this cd features timeless songs like: "Baby's Got Sauce", "Cold Beverage", and Blues Music"
I bought it for my husband and he likes the music and it came in well packed and in a good amount of time.

I have been a blues fan for many many years now, and have been very hesitant to stray from all of my favorites like, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy, Willie Dixon just to name a few. Until recently I had no idea this band was around, I tried it and much to my surprise it is a decent listen and a different sound of some old favorites. You wont be let down if you give this a try!
its awesome. i like how g. love is different from every band i have heard but at the same time the fit in to the music i like perfectly. Its kind of twangy and goofy but that is why i like it. This album was a great addition to my collection and i thin that anyone would like it.
Man. This guy can play some funk! I;d recommend it to any person who can appreciate good, tight music. I dig it...
