One of the best CDs I brought recently is G. Love’s “Lemonade.” Released Aug. 1, 2006, it’s a collection of really nice tunes with a host of guest musicians including Ben Harper, Marc Broussard, Jack Johnson (the CD is on Johnson’s Brushfire Records), Tristan Prettyman, Blackalicious. Philly-based hip/hop bluesman Garrett “G. Love” Dutton (who one reviewer calls “one of the premier purveyors of a funky fusion of sparkling acoustic pop, white-boy rap, and ragged blues” .. whew, whatever) has one nice CD. I’ll think I’ll be listening to it for quite awhile. Here’s the track list: 1. Ride 2. Ain’t That Right 3. Hot Cookin’ 4. Can’t Go Back to Jersey 5. Missing My Baby 6. Holla! 7. Banger - Blackalicious, G. Love, Lateef the Truth Speaker 8. Thanks and Praise - G. Love, 9. Let the Music Play - Marc Broussard, G. Love, 10. Free 11. Beautiful - G. Love, Tristan Prettyman 12. Rainbow - G. Love, Jack Johnson 13. Breakin’ Up 14. Still Hanging’ Around/Sneakster 15. Love
