G. Love - fixin to die
Totally digging G. Loves new album. Probably the most blues based album he's done yet. Also has a very chilling on the front porch in the south vibe to it as well. Such a nice surprise and a cool addition to his catalog. Pow wow anyone?

Re: G. Love - fixin to die
G Love is great live (with the entire band). Saw solo last year when he toured with Jack Johnson and wasn't impressed.
Didn't the original bassist leave the band? I have yet to see who replaced him.
First 3 albums are my favorites, I'll have to revisit this one.

Re: G. Love - fixin to die
agreed on G. Love solo live...not very good. didn't even like his studio solo stuff that much either. other than that i find them all very fun to listen to in the summertime.

Re: G. Love - fixin to die
The Hustle is by far his best album.
Superhero Brother was awful. And Lemonade was not so good either.
His lyrics suffer from 311 syndrome; He's become way too corny and overly tries-to-be-so-positive-it-makes-me-cringe.
Fixin' to die is pretty decent, I haven't given it enough playtime yet, but I do have it and have listened through it probably once.

Re: G. Love - fixin to die
I saw G. Love open for 311 one time. From what I remember, sounded cool, but never heard any recordings.

Everything you do, it comes back to you, whatever it may be
To just know hate, well that's so sad. What a life, strife
There's much power in anger, but love's a bigger banger
It's a waste to be a hater
All the angst shit is just cheesy
Be positive
Take on the Love and the good Karma

Re: G. Love - fixin to die
Hell I don't remember which tour now. After seeing the band 20 times in 15 years, a lot of it starts to blend together.

I have all of those. And all of his albums to be more specific.
The Hustle is still by far the best.

Re: G. Love - fixin to die
Just met G. Love.
I go to this reggae bar on sunday nights for this band Dub Apocalypse (drummer/bassist from john brown's body's side project) Instrumental reggae band, but every now and then they have a guest vocalist who comes up and sings a song or two with them. Usually unknown local people/friends of the band.
This place holds maybe 60-80 people. Really small bar.
Anyway, next thing I know G Love is up there with the band singing/rapping/playing harmonica and just improvising and jamming out. Apparently the saxophone player for Dub Apocalypse plays with G Love so G decided to come out and be a surprise guest. It was unbelievable seeing him there. Couldn't believe my eyes at first. Got to meet him and say hi too. Pretty sweet
