G Love and Special Sauce

Philadelphonic

Okeh/550 Music

G Love likes to sit on his porch with his guitar and play all day. Keeping beat with a firm slap of his foot on the deck, he sings about anything and everything. When he’s teamed up with Special Sauce, they keep the beat for him and they do a damn good job of it. These fellas bust out incredibly catchy bluesy/hip-hop songs which your mom would probably like. This fourth album is as diverse as the first three (which you should go out and buy right now). Songs like “Gimme Some Lovin’” show G Love stripped down to a guitar and his heart. You also get songs like “No Turning Back,” which show the whole crew rockin’ it. You’ll definitely shake your butt when this album is playing.
