G. Love

Of course it helps that G. Love has the most enigmatic eyes and fantastic Chris Isaak-ish coiffure, but it's still so easy to adore him when he releases an album that flaunts his true talent. 'Lemonade' is a mesmerizing and mellow musical tribute to summer in all its glory. 'Beautiful' and 'Breakin' Up' are simple, sonorous songs that play happily as a soundtrack to everyday life and occasionally draw you in far enough to remind you of G. Love's sense of humor and unintentional poignancy. The indie-rocker collaborations with Jack Johnson, Marc Broussard and Tristan Prettyman only augment my love for G.

Released August 1st and available at Amazon.com. Obviously.
