MTV.com - G. Love (441 words)
Love & Special Sauce are a trio from Philadelphia, PA. Their laid-back, sloppy blues sound is quite unique, as it encompasses the sound/production of classic R&B and recent rap artists (the Beastie Boys, in particular).
The group -- G. Love (born Garrett Dutton) on guitar/vocals/harmonica, Jeff Clemens on drums, and Jim Prescott on upright bass -- released their self-titled debut in 1994 on Okeh/Epic.
By 2004 and the Hustle LP, G. Love had eased up a little on the kitchen sink approach, offereing instead a cohesive, dry groove reminiscent of his earliest efforts.
RollingStone.com: G. Love and Special Sauce : G. Love & Special Sauce Get Their Mojo on in New York : News (527 words)
Take it from G. Love: when you're facing a diverse, attention span-deprived crowd like this one, you gotta mix your rock with equal dollops of hip-hop, blues, country, folk, reggae, ska and go-go.
A good two hours after the doors opened, G. Love walked out on stage holding a guitar in one hand and waving to the crowd with the other.
As impressively encompassing as G. Love's sound is, taken together the songs tended to blend together into a nondescript globule of routine rock maneuvering.
