G Love and Special Sauce - Superhero Brothers

Jul 8 2008 By Paul Cole

G Love and Special Sauce

HOT on the heels of his NIA gig with Jack Johnson comes Garrett Dutton’s 10th album, a special sauce of party songs and politics that’s the soundtrack of the summer.

It’s an eclectic set, ranging from Communication (Beatles flavoured with Chilli Peppers) to the delta stomp title track (probably the only time Britney and Bin Laden will inhabit the same song).

Wontcha Come Come is a carefree calypso, Peace Love And Happiness boasts Latin beats and Wiggle Worm recalls Fun Lovin’ Criminals.
