"Baby's Got Sauce" comes from G. Love & Special Sauce's self-titled 1994 debut, and it's the whole recipe in one song: G. Love singing, playing guitar and blowing harmonica, Jim Prescott on upright bass and Jeffrey Clemens on drums and backing vocals, with Scott Storch adding piano. Love and Clemens wrote it, and Stiff Johnson produced it with the band, recording and mixing it too.
Seattle's KEXP named it the song of the year, and the album went gold. The Philadelphia Inquirer heard G. Love's easygoing playing bend the blues into strange new colors and called his rap-inflected "ragmop" style one of the biggest updates to blues phrasing since British rockers got hold of the sound in the '60s; the Globe and Mail figured it would rile purists on both sides and give everyone else some good dumb fun.
