"Fixin' To Die" G. Love

Remember G. Love and Special Sauce? I never liked them and the name sounded kinda dirty besides.

Is this the same guy? The song starts off with a simple drum beat accompanied by perfectly timed hand claps setting the rhythm. This sounds like classic American style music to me.

I read on YouTube that it's a cover version.

Same guy. He has a very unique voice. I believe he is backed up by the Avett Brothers in this one.

I'm a G Love fan (with or without the Special Sauce), and this is the direction he's been heading in for a while. He started with more of a hip-hop influence, but has been moving away from it and more towards straight-ahead rock. This is his most roots-rock oriented track that I've head.

And yeah, this is a cover of a classic blues song.

^ good info, I'm learning a lot at Pulse. I hope this great track gets some significant airplay.
