A valiant effort... Oct 11, 2005
Falling somewhere between Jack Johnson and the Beastie Boys, Pennsylvania's "G. Love and the Special Sauce" have been churning out their own brand of acoustic, funky hobo-hop blues for over a decade and developed quite a cult following along the way. Despite their longevity, however,, the group has been more-or-less overlooked by mainstream radio. Instead, they've garnered success through the strengh of their live show and grueling touring schedule.
The key to G. Love's music lies in not trying to analyze it too deeply. The raps are simple and the funky guitar-harmonica-drums instrumentation is about as bare-bones as it can get. Even moreso, as evidenced by songs such as "This Aint Living," the band doesn't seem to care if they're singing a little out-of-tune. In fact, laid back, relaxed grooving is the main theme of their work. Although songs such as "Rodeo Clowns" and "Cold Beverage" have enough pop-flare to attract some new listeners, this album isn't likely to convert any G.Love naysayers. Subsequently, on the flip side, it's likely too sparse of an offering to satisfy any longtime fans.

 Tone Deaf Feb 22, 2005
Much hype has surrounded G Love & Special Sauce. Don't believe the hype. The instruments are muddled. The tone-deaf singing and stupid lyrics are uninspired. G Love should leave blues music to real artists. If you want to hear talented musicians, spend your money on Jason Mraz or Jack Johson, or Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication

Ridiculous Title Feb 21, 2005
How can anything this guy does be titled "Best of"? Me thinks it would have been better to title it "WORST of". This guy just plain sucks! Can I say that? I sure hope so cause I'd hate to see anyone waste their money on this crap. You'll get more musical enjoyment from the sounds of three hungry cats.

I like him better with Jack Johnson Jan 08, 2005
I think this group needs to work on their writing. Although I will occassionally listen to this CD, their best work on it is remakes and duets with other artists. I like G. Loves work on "Thicker that water" better that on the Best of CD.
