Ever since Elvis Presley hit it big mixing rhythm & blues with country, white artists--from the Rolling Stones to the Beastie Boys--have achieved success by integrating black music into the (white) mainstream. G. Love has taken that concept one step further by mixing traditionally black forms --hip-hop, reggae, the blues of the Mississippi Delta, and the soul music of his native Philly--with peripheral styles like the mutated blues-rock of Jimi Hendrix, country, New Orleans r&b, and even jazz. He comes up with a sound he can call his own. The fusion is even richer than before on Love's fifth album. "Hopeless Case" adds late-Beatles psychedelic touches to the mix without sounding the least bit retro or pretentious. "Night of the Living Dead" is an exquisitely sung funk/jazz workout (with violin and highly realistic barking-dogs intro) that concludes with a jam reminiscent of the original Butterfield Band during their EAST/WEST experimental period. Highly recommended.
