Twenty years ago G. Love & Special Sauce released their first album. 20 years later they will be releasing a brand new album, “Sugar” set for release on April 22, 2014 via Brushfire Records. “Sugar” sees the return of James “Jimi Jazz” Prescott back on the stand up bass for the first time in eight years.
The new album includes contributions from Merry Clayton, David Hidalgo, Marc Broussard, Eric Krasno, and others.

The first single from the new album, Sugar, is “Nothing Quite Like Home”, directed by Grammy award winning director Emmett Malloy.

G. Love & Special Sauce - Nothing Quite Like Home

Recorded mainly at Brushfire Records’ “Solar Powered Plastic Plant” studio in Los Angeles, Sugar captures the unstoppable energy of a band who got their start in Boston bars in the early ’90s and still play up to 150 shows a year. “We wanted to take it back to the old-school vibe of the first record, those rich, warm sounds from when we were rocking small clubs and going on that acoustic feeling,” says Prescott. To deepen that dynamic and push their sound into new directions, G. Love & Special Sauce called in guest musicians including legendary vocalist and current Oscar nominee Merry Clayton (best known for her duet with Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stone’s “Gimme Shelter”), Los Lobos guitarist David Hidalgo, Marc Broussard, Eric Krasno, Shamarr Allen, Kristy Lee, and others.
