By 2004 and The Hustle, G. Love had eased up a little on the kitchen sink approach, offering instead a cohesive, dry groove reminiscent of his earliest efforts. The Hustle was also the first G. Love release under Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records banner; the two had been pals at least since Philadelphonic, which Johnson had been a guest on.
Special Sauce did a series of shows in 2004 with Jack Johnson and fellow Brushfire artist Donavon Frankenreiter, and the trio also found time to issue a brief live EP.
In the summer 2005, the band featured in an advertisement for the launch of Coca-Cola Zero, featuring the group’s own unique version of the noted Coca-Cola advertising song I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.
The group’s seventh studio album, entitled “Lemonade,” was released August 1, 2006. The disc features a variety of collaborations with artists including Marc Broussard, Jack Johnson, Tristan Prettyman, Donavon Frankenreiter, Blackalicious, Ben Harper, and others. The first single is “Hot Cookin’.”
