***(3 personal favorites)***

I never heard of G-Love before and I bought this CD used for 4bucks and I love it. Its kind of a jazzy hip-hop CD. I usually hate rap, but this stuff is good. If you listen to Jack Johnson you'll definetly like G-Love I plan on buying his Philadelphonic CD which I heard crushes this one.

Rating 8 out of 10


Heres what someone else on Amazon.com said about them...........

Philly born and bred, G. Love (Garret Dutton) and Special Sauce pour out all their emotion and talent into an enticing amalgam of hip-hop, blues, folk, and funk. The band's talent shines forth the brightest on this cd, their third effort. Here's a brief overview of the tracks:

1. Stepping Stones - 5 stars - The hook "you keep using me just like a stepping stone" will be stuck in your head for weeks.

2. I-76 - 4 1/2 stars - This one is a funky tune about hoops, particularly G's team, the 76ers.

3. Lay Down the Law - 5 stars - The surprisingly simple and beautiful prelude to the bulk of this track is exquisite.

4. Slipped Away - 2 1/2 stars - A dark tune about someone deceased in G's family, possibly his mother. Too dreary for me, doesn't fit well with the rest of the tracks on here.

5. You Shall See - 3 stars - Nothing really special on this one, just an average track.

6. Take You There - 5 stars - Awesome, laid-back summer tune with a sweet cowbell.

7. Willow Tree - 5 stars - Another great song for lounging in the sun, good stuff.

8. Yeah, It's That Easy - 4 stars - Nice piano backed up by G's sweet rhymes.

9. Recipe - 5 stars - Very funky and soulful, great track

10. 200 Years - 3 stars - A little bit dull, not bad though.

11. Making Amends - 3 1/2 stars - Fun and upbeat number.

12. Pull the Wool - 10 stars - Absolutely amazing. This song is one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. 9 minutes and 26 seconds of sheer bliss.

13. When We Meet Again - 4 stars - G's standard acoustic, folky last number.

Right now, I'd probably go with the Hustle or Philadelphonic ; well, actually, It seems I'm unable to pick a favorite--they are all great in their own ways. Their only song I don't particularly enjoy is "100 Magic Rings" on Electric Mile.
