New Music Tuesday: G. Love – Fixin’ To Die and Adele – 21
22 FebI love new music Tuesday and today delivers a couple great albums that should definitely be in your collection. G. Love dropped Fixin’ To Die while Adele’s sophomore effort 21 is finally available in the US after coming out in the UK last month. While I shared my thoughts on G. Love’s new work last week, I am blown away by Adele’s and her voice. I never gave her first album a shot and perhaps I am missing something but I think 21 is fantastic and knowing that Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth and Ryan Tedder produced the album just makes it that much better. I can’t get enough of her first single “Rolling in the Deep” as well as “I’ll be Waiting” and “Someone Like You.”
New Music: G. Love – Fixin’ To Die – CD
18 Feb
G. Love & Special Sauce has had their share of success over the years while G. Love aka Garrett Dutton’s solo projects go mostly unheralded, until now. With assistance from The Avett Brothers who produced and sit in as the band on Fixin’ To Die to give it that back down south soul, the Philadelphian shines with his blues music and heartfelt lyrics. The album’s title track, a Bukka White original, sets the stage as a serious boot stompin’ jam while “Milk & Sugar” raises the energy level as a happy go lucky sing-along. “Just Fine” a love song, is true G. Love with his one-of-a-kind rhyming and the guitar riff is reminiscent of Blues Traveler’s “Hook.” But what may stand out most is Dutton’s cover of Paul Simon’s “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover;” which starts out as a tranquil rendition that evolves into a dominant harmonica and banjo jam session. If you’re looking to rid yourself of winter, scoop up this disc and watch as the sky opens up and lets the sun shine down.
CD drops on February 22 but head on over to Conan O’Brien’s website HERE to stream the album.
