5.0 out of 5 stars G. Love and Special Sauce-A Tight Band, May 6, 2009

This review is from: Year & A Night With G Love & Special Sauce (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)

When I first began reviewing music several years ago, I honestly did not have the focus toward uncovering artists and bands that either were making a difference in the music business or whose destiny was to accomplish same. I do not know where I was or what I was doing when I heard the song Soft and Sweet(MP3) by this unforgettable blues hip hop artist G Love and Special Sauce but I literally sprinted to my laptop and downloaded it in seconds. Artists not expected to rap have really mastered the craft starting with Debby Harry, Steve Poltz and the nascent Eminem who was not given much of an odds on chance to succeed the way he did. Of course, Reverend Run, Snoopy and Ludicrous were expected to excel
while those mentioned above can certainly be considered to be players. G. Love and Special Sauce have been playing together for many years and it shows. Just like Keith playing off of Mick, this is a jam band that does not miss beats or rhythm. Performers like G. Love is what the listeners desperately need, professionalism,cohesive instrumentation and a significant fan base. Add Lily Allen, the Killers and we are starting to see continuity in the industry that I personally hope will bend minds toward quality and artists that have arrived instead of those who aspire to do so. There is no doubt that G. Love and Special Sauce, Philadelphia's own, are getting really strong and exposed to their fans in bigger ways. A Year and a Night with G. Love and Special Sauce is an immediate buy if you want quick play it over and over music. Jay Adler, Music Critic

The music is good (G. Love is good!) but if you are looking for a DVD to put on and kick it with...this is not for you! Too much useless talk...just when he starts to jam...back to talking!!! Disappointing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictively delicious!, November 29, 2007

Must watch it today!! as G. Love once said about his sound on Lemonade, "Tart, Tangy, Smooth, and oh so lip-smacking Sweet! Yes indeed, what you hold in your hands is pure, fresh, organic, summer sound. So go ahead, scratch it, sniff it, squeeze it, bite it until its juices slide down your elbows and leave you satisfied." and this dvd does just that. this dvd will make you not only like G. Love and Special Sauce, but, LOVE G. Love and Special Sauce.
