In Philadelphia, an incredible blues/hip-hop group formed, bringing saucy bass lines and lyrics to a new type of laid back R&B sprinkled with funk. This band is none other than G. Love & Special Sauce.
G. Love, otherwise known as Garret Dutton, is the head of the band. The Special Sauce part of the group represents Jeffrey Clemens (drummer) and Jim Prescott (bass). With the combination of Garret’s voice and guitar, Jim’s funky and laid back bass, and Jeffrey’s hip rhythms, the band has created many amazing songs.
One that stands out is “Baby’s Got Sauce”. Produced back in 1994, the track immediately became the perfect example of how this band makes music. The lyrics show the blues side of this group through its story and through the way their voices are spread on the track.
The tune is incredibly catchy too, especially at the chorus. Jim and Jeffrey scream, “She’s got sauce!” to which G. Love replies, “Your baby ain’t sweet like mine!”
The lyrics of the tune describe a saucy girl that has total control of the relationship, yet the guy is okay with that because he is so in love with her.
G. Love & Special Sauce is a band I would highly recommend to any person, whether they are a music lover or not.
