Review - :
Like {$G. Love & Special Sauce}'s previous albums, {^The Electric Mile} isn't easy to categorize. Is it {\alternative rock}, {\psychedelic rock}, {\retro-soul}, {\funk}, or {\hip-hop}? Actually, this diverse, unpredictable CD is a combination of those things -- and the group also shows its appreciation of {\reggae}, {\blues}, and {\folk}. True to form, vocalist {$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 blues-rock} ({&"Poison"}), or {\reggae} ({&"Unified"}). And the impressive thing is that {$G. Love} can go in so many different directions and never fail to sound distinctive, which is something he has in common with {$Prince} and {$David Bowie}. But while {^The Electric Mile} (which is {$G. Love}'s fifth album) has more plusses than minuses, it isn't perfect. A few of the tunes sound unfocused, and not everything that {$G. Love & Special Sauce} try is successful -- occasionally, a song will miss its mark. But more often than not, the trio's risk-taking pays off on this generally rewarding, if imperfect, CD. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
