​G Love & Special Sauce (from the album The Juice available Philadelphonic Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
 
Garrett Dutton, aka G Love, has stuck by a laidback and loose musical formula since 1994. It is a blueprint where acoustic Blues and American Folk music buddies around with Hip Hop street beats, Funk, and Soul, a sound that at the most will pack a dance floor, at the least inspire a head bob or foot tap. The latest release from the band begins with the title track “The Juice” classic G. Love slacker boogie, inspired by a timeless jam of Blues, Soul and R&B. G Love states the opener track is ‘a letter, but also a song’ calling for a ‘better world for our daughters and sons’. It is a protest, a hopeful album opener where album guest Marcus King's guitar solo is the glorious star. The cut is followed by Roosevelt Collier and his steel guitar, also claiming stardom on the dirty Funk cut "Soul-B-Que."
"Shake Your Hair" will fill the dance floor, and though ‘throw your hands in the air’ may be a played-out line, any boredom is trampled as the whole song becomes one huge, throbbing rocker. “She's the Rock” is a love song that drops the Blues influence and favors a keyboard heavy Pop sound, “Shine on Moon” with Keb’ Mo’ is traditional Blues and “Birmingham” in all its slickness has Robert Randolph’s sacred steel serving as a mind-blowing musical exclamation point.  "Drinkin' Wine" with its novel whistling intro is a loose drinking song, wrapping up with G Love leading a call and response reprise of “The Juice." (by Bryant Liggett)`
