  G. Love Blog: 101 Ways...

  Greetings Phamily and Phriends. I hope you all are enjoying your phall and everything that comes with it. This week we get back to another segment from my forthcoming book, "101 ways not to F!ck up your chances at being a Rockstar". 
  
  Enjoy! G
  
  101 ways - "I love your Shit"
  
  "I love your shit"
  Say it again "I love your shit" now keep saying it to everybody you listen to, work with, open up for and definitely say it to the opening act. I know you're an egotistical-self-centered-musician-a**hole but try to remember to be nice. 
  
  Be better than nice, be supportive. My old producer Dave "Stiff" Johnson taught me to say "I love your shit" to every other band I would come across. It works too. "I love your shit" is the perfect thing to say and by saying it you will make some struggling fellow egotistical-self-centered-musician-a**hole feel great about what they are doing. 
  
  Remember you might be opening for them sometime soon and they might not give a shit about your music but they will remember that you were the person that "loved their shit."

  8/16/09 - Jim Dickinson

  http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/story/2009/08/16/dickinson-obit-memphissound.html
  
  Hello friends, I got sad news today. Legendary musician and producer and friend Jim Dickinson passed away today. I had the great honor of working with Jim when he produced my second record Coast to Coast Motel in 1995. We recorded in New Orleans and mixed in LA. I spent about a month all told with Jim and those were some heavy and intuitive times. 
  
  I remember traveling with Jim and checking out his spread in North Mississippi, and going to visit various studios in Memphis and New Orleans. Jim had played with the Stones and Dylan but I was more interested in his stories of the great Memphis Blues men like Sleepy John Estes. Jim knew these guys and he was a real link for me to the original Delta Blues. He told me once how, in his later years, Sleepy John Estes would call him at crazy hours because he was blind and didn't really know if it was day or night. Jim had stories for days and we were all ears. 
  
  Another time, in LA during mix down he told me "don't lose the fire G". Talking about playing and saying that's where its at, “Its about that fire”. I knew just what he was talking about too. 
  I hadn't really seen Jim for awhile, but over the years I've stayed in touch with Jim's boys Luther and Cody. We've become good friends since way back in the day, when they first played with us at the New Daisy Theater on Beale St in Memphis. 
  
  We recently got a chance to hang with Luther when we shared the stage with him and the Black Crowes at Rothbury. Luther is playing guitar with the Crowes now and he is burning it up for real. I know Jim is proud. 
  
  Music will always miss Jim and I count myself blessed to have shared some of the most intimate moments of my musical life with Jim while he was our producer. I'm lucky to have had the chance to work with him and get to know his amazing family. People call people like the Dickinson's "good people". Good people. Keep jamming Jim! 
  
  We miss you- G

  Review of G. Love & Special Sauce at Mile High Music Fest '09

  
  
  "Garrett Dutton or G. Love as his adoring fans refer to him blasted through a passionate set of music some call hip-hop blues for the enthusiastic crowd that packed into the Rhapsody Tent at the Mile High Music Festival on July 18, 2009 in Denver Colorado. Trying to shoot this performer is easier said than done, you see this guy never holds still, gyrating, hip-hoping and swaying rhythmically to the groove laid down by his killer band aka. Special Sauce. G. Love dished up a wide range of tunes from his latest album Superhero Brother and older albums.This self-described “hip-hop blues artist” had the crowd in the palm of his hand on this blistering hot July day, sweat pouring off his brow Mr. Love didn’t seem to be phased by the heat, probably due to his days sweating it out as a youth in the hot and steamy summers in Pennsylvania. When you combine G. Loves powerful voice and his mastery of both the guitar and harmonica what you end up with is a show you may never forget."
