"Rodeo Clowns" appears on Philadelphonic, the 1999 album from G. Love & Special Sauce, and it's a song from outside the band: Jack Johnson composed it and sings the lead, strumming acoustic guitar, while G. Love adds guitar and slips in his half-spoken, laid-back patter. Jim Prescott's upright bass and Jeffrey Clemens' drums keep a loose, porch-swing groove, and the whole thing ambles along like a warm night in no hurry to end.
