Electric Mile

Like **G. Love & Special Sauce's** previous albums, *'The Electric Mile'* (2001) isn't easy to categorize. Is it alternative rock, psychedelic rock, retro-soul, funk, or hip-hop? Actually, this diverse and unpredictable CD is a combination of all those genres - and besides that the group also shows its appreciation of reggae, blues, and folk. True to form, vocalist **G. Love** and his colleagues keep things unpredictable; you never know from one song to the next if they will tend to favor retro-soul *('Night of the Living Dead'),* hip-hop *('Parasite,' 'Electric Mile'),* folk-rock *('Sara's Song'),* psychedelic bluesrock *('Poison'),* or reggae *('Unified').*
