Epic Records/Legacy Recordings has rereleased G. Love & Special Sauce’s self-titled debut album, remastered and newly expanded for its 30th anniversary.

G. Love & Special Sauce (30th Anniversary Expanded Edition) is out via all streaming, download and digital platforms and “Cold Beverage – Live at the Knitting Factory, NYC, NY – 7/20/1994,” which is a previously unreleased live version of the album’s breakout track, has been newly remastered and is out now also.

Formed by Philadelphia native Garrett “G. Love” Dutton (vocals/guitar/harmonica), Jeffrey “The Houseman” Clemens (drums) and James “Jimi Jazz” Prescott (bass), G. Love & Special Sauce stormed the ‘90s with a unique blend of Roots Rock, R&B, Delta Blues and Hip-Hop.

The album earned a Gold record from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) off the strength of breakout radio/MTV staple “Cold Beverage,” and it was followed up with “Baby’s Got Sauce”.

This newly remastered and expanded edition of their debut also includes 11 live recordings recorded over two sets at The Knitting Factory in New York City in July of 1994.  

G. Love & Special Sauce will be hitting the road in 2024 with a 41-date tour of North America that already started in St. Louis, MO and continues through March 16th, 2024. On these dates, longtime collaborator Chuck Treece will be sitting in on drums. Jackobs Castle will support all dates.
