The Electric Mile [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Seemingly growing more content with his outsider status with each new release, former Sony great white hype Garrett "G. Love" Dutton appears in no hurry to update his band's back-porch hip-hop-and-blues sound. On his fifth studio album with Special Sauce--bassist Jim Prescott and drummer Jeff Clemens--themes of positivity and spiritual satisfaction remain at the fore, while the laidback grooves sound more effortless than ever, particularly on the '70s-drenched title track and the tender "Sara's Song." There is a breezy nod to Bob Marley on the ska-inflected "Praise Up," and "Night of the Living Dead" features a fractured falsetto vocal, but major diversions are rare on Electric Mile, an album that is virtually interchangeable with the trio's self-titled 1994 debut. And that's no bad thing. --Jaan Uhelszki

4 out of 5 stars The most over produced G-Love album ever..........2006-07-19

One of the many joys I find of listening to G. Love's music is it's raw sounding recording. Although some find this irritating, I think it only adds to the general ambience of his music. As a long time fan of G.Love and The Special Sauce I bought this album last of all, having overlooked it somehow. Compared to other offerings, Yeah, It's That Easy et al this is probably my least favourite album by them. Having said that it is only weak compared to other g.love offerings and as I said I'm a big fan. If you can get over the ridiculously crisp recording, then this is another quality showcase of G.Love's blues/hip hop style...

5 out of 5 stars What's Up People???.......2005-07-20

People gave this album such lousy reviews...it does not deserve anything less than 3 stars, I gave it 5 stars to get its rating back up where it should be. This is great groovy chill music with G. Love's awesome style shining in each track. People are lame if they gave this anything under 3 stars, true G. Love fans would appreciate this album as I do. I think this CD foreshadows his latest release on Brushfire Records 'The Hustle.' Get this great CD!!!

1 out of 5 stars Whoa, whoa, whoa --- what happened???.......2005-01-13

One minute you're sitting there thinking that G. Love can do no wrong with his patented approach to funky blues/rap... and then he releases The Electric Mile. Earth to G., what happened???

Although I can't explain it, I've decided that there are exactly two kinds of G. Love albums: the knockouts like "Philadelphonic," "The Hustle," and the debut album that bowl you over with their jazzy, laid-back rhythms from start to finish, and the one or two where they've turned all the dials to "suck." The good news is that most of their CD's fall into the former category; the bad news is that if you start with a disc as lame as "The Electric Mile" you may never want to give these guys another chance, and that'd be a shame.

All I remember about this disc is selling it off in horror after 3 or 4 listens, as it was just lifeless, uninspired and boring, which is not what this band is about. If you're interested in checking out G. Love, do yourself a favour and start elsewhere.

4 out of 5 stars Electric Mile - 3 Stars/ Ridin' High - 5 Stars.......2003-07-29

These guys have evolved throughout their careers with different focuses on each of their cds, rendering most of their albums very enjoyable. The Electric Mile, however, just seems unfocused. I can't fault G for trying to move in new directions because it served him well in the past, but the dabbling into ska/reggae territory with Unified and Praise Up comes off as paltry and cliched in comparison to G's other creative, authentic songs. Night of the Living Dead sounds more like the good old sway of the band that I've grown to familiarize and love, but the cd digresses again with Parasite. The music on this track, especially the bass, is pretty tight, but the superfluous execrations ("You're just a f***ing parasite" ad nauseam) water down the message which is good until the chorus. The rest of the songs on the cd are ok, none of them standing out in my mind as noteworthy other than 100 Magic Rings which is a soaring beauty and the bizarre, phsychadelic reprise of Free At Last.

The Electric Mile is packed with an accompanying disc entitled "Ridin' High." It has 10 songs in all, 4 reprises and 6 originals. Tracks 3-6 on this cd are really great. 3 is called Break Away. It's just very mellow and very easy to get into. I like it a lot. 4 is called Sea Shells- it shows off G's rhyming skills exquisitely. 5 and 6 are called House Stirs the Soup and Writing on the Walls, respectively. Both songs sound strikingly similar, using nearly the same guitar lines, possibly just in different keys. That doesn't matter much though because both of these songs are really happy and upbeat, and the unique chords are really bedazzling.

All in all, the purchase of "The Electric Mile" and "Ridin' High" is well worth the money of any G. Love & Special Sauce fans, but for people thinking about buying this as an introduction to the group, try "Yeah, It's That Easy," or the bands first album, "G. Love & Special Sauce" instead.

1 out of 5 stars oh man i need a tissue..........2002-03-18

because this cd is so lame it brings tears to my eyes. i have every g. love cd and love them all but the guy has lost his way on this one. none of the musicianship that was so loud and clear in previous releases can be heard here. and the lyrics... the music is forced and hollow. take my word and pass on this one and hope that g. and sauce get it back together next time.

Robben Ford & the Blue Line is an electric blues trio, but it's a trio whose leader and guitarist played with Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell, whose drummer Tom Brechtlein played with Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter, and whose bassist Roscoe Beck played with Leonard Cohen. In other words, this is a blues band with serious jazz and singer-songwriter ambitions. Not surprisingly, these former instrumental sidemen are a lot better at infecting the blues with harmonically sophisticated solos and tricky rhythms than they are at singing or songwriting on their album, Mystic Mile. Songs like "Busted Up" or "Moth to a Flame," both penned by Ford, don't offer much in the way of a lyric, melody, or vocal, but they do build a serious groove around a challenging syncopated figure, and Ford's guitar comes roaring out of the rhythm with solos that don't merely vamp on the chord changes but take those changes into new harmonic territory. Thus it's not surprising that the album's one instrumental, the uptempo blues workout "The Plunge," and the two cover songs, the Cream's "Politician" and B.B. King's "Worried Life Blues," are the highlights. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Some of the best modern blues guitar you'll ever hear........2002-10-08

There are several great cuts on this album, and some incredible playing throughout. In particular, Worried Life Blues sports one of the most overwhelmingly awesome blues solos you'll ever hear. That one cut is worth the price of admission.

5 out of 5 stars WOW... nobody plays guitar better.......2001-09-29

This is a MUST HAVE for blues guitar lovers. "Politician" is so hot, it jumps off of the CD. What a gifted musician Mr. Ford is, and backed by the hottest rhythm section you'll ever hope to hear from a blues band. No wonder Ford keeps getting Grammy nominations!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2001-05-24

I've only recently come accross Robben Ford but I am already building up a collection. His singing voice is clean and his guitar work is excellent. The general feel of the album is both bluesey and rocky finishing on a very melow Mystic Mile. Excellent CD

5 out of 5 stars mystic blues.......2001-01-14

The Mystic Mile exhibits Robben Ford's precision at playing smooth sophisticated blues. Ford sound is very elegant, modern and unique. This cd may be one of his best, demonstrating his song writing abilities as well as skill with the guitar. Most of the songs are written by Ford and they work cohesively to give the whole cd a somewhat "mystic" sound. The title cut, which wraps up the cd of 10 tracks,is perhaps the most mystical. It creates a vision of a mystic who is watching us, with a "strange sense of humor." Of the cover songs Politician written in '68, by Jack Bruce and Peter Brown is still true and relevant song today of political people trying to work both sides.

If you like a more sophisticated blues with strong guitar work, this is a cd for you.

4 out of 5 stars Solid Effort.......2001-01-13

Robben Ford is one of the more underrated guitarists out there. "Mystic Mile" shows the band's versatility. Although I prefer "A Handful of Blues", I recomend this CD for the just the first track alone. "He Don't Play Nothin' But the Blues" is as good a rock song as there is, and Ford's playing and strong vocals ring through.

    Product Description

    Hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2006 album ""CMon CMere"", Ohio native Patrick Sweany returns with a new set of rock n' soul numbers on ""Every Hour Is A Dollar Spent"". The album was engineered and produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, and features 11 new Sweany-penned tunes. The album was mastered by Paul Hamman, who, along with his legendary father Kenneth, was responsible for engineering classic albums by The James Gang and Grand Funk Railroad, among others. The combination of Auerbach and Hamman takes the new album away from the Southern roots sound of Sweany's previous releases and into the classic Rust Belt rock of the 70s. Add to this Sweany's tasteful guitar work and impressive vocals (that seem to get better with each recording), and you have an album that not only sounds gorgeous, but captures the energy of Sweanys riotous live sets.

    With this surprise two-CD package of rarities and outtakes, the formidable Waters legacy is significantly enhanced yet again. No random collection, the first 30 tracks of this essential set chart Muddy's steady professional and artistic growth at Chess Records. Beginning with early tracks featuring just Waters and bassist Big Crawford, the great bluesman is followed through changing personnel and sounds as his groundbreaking vision is refined. Among the previously unreleased gems on "One More Mile" are 11 tracks from a 1972 Radio Lausanne broadcast featuring Muddy with Louis Myers on acoustic second guitar and Mojo Buford on harp. Covering classics like "Feel Like Goin' Home," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Rock Me," and "Hoochie Coochie Man," Muddy's virtuosic display at this late stage in life provides the rarest of musical pleasures. --Alan Greenberg

    5 out of 5 stars Really Good.......2005-10-22

    I was fortunate to see Muddy Waters perform in Bozeman, Montana during 1982. One More Mile sounds real and alive as if Muddy is playing right in your living room. The Lausanne tracks without drums are particularly captivating. A long album that covers a lot of territory, its excellent.

    4 out of 5 stars Once you have the essentials, this is where you go for more.......2004-01-11

    "One More Mile" gathes 41 tracks, none of which are found on the Chess Box, and most of which have never before been available on an official US release.

    Much of this fine material is equal in quality to Waters' better known output, and "One More Mile" includes lots of rarities and alternates spanning the late '40s to the early '70s, with some special points of interest: the original 1955 version of "I Want To Be Loved", which was covered by the Rolling Stones on the B-side of their very first single, and 11 songs from a previously unreleased 1972 Swiss radio broadcast, showcasing Muddy performing with a drummer-less trio.

    The late-40s songs on disc 1 are among the best, showing Muddy's prowess on the slide guitar. On these lean, mean renditions of "Rollin' And Tumblin' pt. 2", "Burying Ground" and "You Gonna Need My Help", Waters is accompanied only by bassist Ernest "Big" Crawford, and this raw slide playing is some of the best I've ever heard him do.
    But there are plenty of other highlights on the first disc, including the swinging, band-backed "She's So Pretty" (on which Willie Dixon plays "basss", according to the liner notes), the alternate versions of "I Want To Be Loved" and "Crawlin' Kingsnake", Sonny Boy Williamson's "Elevate Me Mama", and the soulful slow "Lonesome Room Blues".

    Muddy's rendition of Junior Wells' (or rather Mel London's) "Messin' With The Kid", which is called "Messin' With The Man", is actually really good as well, in spite of a silly attempt to alter the song enough to make it a "Muddy-song" rather than a Junior Wells-song.
    Muddy's version of pianist Eddie Boyd's classic "Five Long Years" is not quite as good as Boyds' original, but he does a pretty decent "You Don't Have To Go" (although it doesn't sound quite right without Jimmy Reed's drawling, mush-mouth delivery).

    There's also a lot of pianist Otis Spann here, which is alway a good thing, and drummer extraordinaire Fred Below is particularly great on "Oh Yeah". And "One More Mile" also includes the infamous take of "Country Boy", which features Leonard Chess pounding the bass drum. He's not all that great, though.

    Disc 2 is highlighted by "Early In The Morning Blues" (a rip-off of John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson's "Early In The Morning"), the fine slow numbers "One More Mile" and "Come Back Baby", and an interesting take on Richard Jones' jazz/blues-standart "Trouble In Mind".
    The awful organ playing on "Trouble, Trouble" is inexcusable, but the last eleven songs on disc 2, the acoustic trio performance, are quite interesting. Waters, second guitarist Louis Myers, and harpist George "Mojo" Buford lay down raw, stripped-down versions of "My Pencil Won't Write No More", "Rock Me", "Hoochie Coochie Man", "You Can't Lose What You Never Had", and Big Joe Williams' "Baby Please Don't Go". Most of them are very good, although the two-guitars-and-a-harmonica arrangements are a little bit monotous at times.

    All in all, this is a surprisingly good addition to Muddy Waters' already magnificent legacy, and a fine purchase for Muddy-fans. Not the place to start, but a great addition to your collection once you have the essentials.
    Definitely recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars On par.......2000-09-17

    This is a Muddy compilation, spanning 1948 to '72. Contained are alternate takes, and obscure material. All of the music is on par, if not equaling/bettering Muddy's previous album cuts.

    Contains a live radio broadcast from 1972 Switzerland, trio acoustic with MoJo Buford on harp and Louis Meyers on guitar. "Rock Me," "Hoochie Coochie Man," "Standin' Round Cryin'," "Baby Please Don't Go," and "Streamline Woman" are familiar tunes done in an unfamiliar atmosphere. Plus 8 or so more tunes. The sound of the acoustic trio is much more cerebral than Muddy's electric cuts.

    The second track is an instrumental, "Muddy Jumps One,"(1948) featuring Ernest Crawford on bass, and Leroy Foster on second guitar. This song is pure HISTORY. This is, I believe, the first recorded Rock and Roll tune. It is not a pure blues, that is for sure. This song is the basis for my conclusion that Muddy invented Rock and Roll. Muddy was a cornerstone in Chuck Berry's trend setting band on Berry's first Chess sides, furthering my prior statement.

    Other than picking up this double disker up for it's historical value only, offered are alternate versions of "Country Boy," "Rollin' Stone," "She's So Pretty," and "Tiger In Your Tank," among others. All recorded around the time that each was originally released in the '50s/'60s. These takes equal, give an enlightening perspective of, or exceed the standards set by the original album cut of each.

    If you dig all things Muddy, this is a must.

    Masterful.

    4 out of 5 stars Muddy at his purest.......2000-08-20

    Sure, no song sounds much different from the last on any Muddy Waters album. Despite this offering's forty-one tracks timing in at over two hours, it's no exception. But this is the blues. The soulful and perfervid blues from which all of rock music can be linked, performed by one of its undeniable wizards in the form of mostly unreleased jams which are stripped-down from any slick production value to a soothing, raw and undulated form that you know you can't resist even if your favorite bands are the Smiths and Sonic Youth. Recommended for listening to in a CD changer set on random, late in the evening with something good to read and something even better to drink.

    5 out of 5 stars Miles More Mud.......1999-01-04

    This album consists entirely of "alternate takes" or tracks "not previously released". But don't let this put you off - There is nothing second rate about this album - This is Muddy Waters at his best.

    Disk 1 contains tracks from 1948 to 1963. The first few songs were recorded with simple guitar and bass backing. An instrumental "Muddy Jumps One" is included. Leonard Chess pays bass drum on "Country Boy".

    Later tracks, from 1954 onwards, feature the classic Muddy Waters line-up, including Little Walter, Willie Dixon, Otis Spann and Jimmy Rogers. These are all top quality. "I want to be loved" was recorded again in 1977 on Muddy's "Hard Again" album. The catchy "Tiger in Your Tank" was apparently used to advertise both petrol (Remember those "Tiger Tails" people used to hang in the front of their cars before furry dice became the thing) and breakfast cereal (Grrreat!).

    Disk 2 starts with more classic Muddy Waters band recordings, then 2 songs "Trouble in Mind" and "Trouble, Trouble" which are included here without the horns that were present on the album "Muddy, Brass and Blues". The remaining 11 tracks were recorded in 1972. They feature Muddy on electric guitar, plus Louis Myers on acoustic guitar and George "Mojo" Buford on harp. Several of Muddy's well known songs are presented in this stripped down format. And they sound excellent. "Feel Like Goin' Home is a reworking of "Walkin' Blues", but Muddy's guitar is unusually tuned to a minor chord. They could have justifiably released an album containing these tracks alone.

    This is an essential album for Muddy Waters fans. It covers different stages of his career, and is of top quality throughout. Great value for money.

    An Alaskan friend introduced us to this album, during our visit to Talkeetna (Doug Geeting's home town). We enjoyed it and went down to Nagley's Store to buy our own copy. We have played this album many times since our return. Each time we play it, we continue to enjoy wonderful memories of Alaska. But this album is much more than memories. The music is wonderful. It is an album that can be played and enjoyed over and over. Many of the songs are outstanding, and there are no duds. Each selection has something unique to offer. We enjoy folk music and this album is one of the best in our collection.

        I've been waiting a couple years for Pat and his band to get out nd another CD, and this one doesn't disappoint. It's a stripped down bluesy affair recorded in Jimbo Mathus's Knockdown South studios. There's so much live energy in this recordng, it almost sounds like they drank a case of Shiner Bocks and carted in a truckload of sawdust for the studio floor before they started rolling the tape. If you like your music real, and in particular, your blues raw, then this is the CD for you. I highly recommend catching Pat and his band live as well.

          4 out of 5 stars A great collection of rarities for serious fans.......2004-10-23

          "One More Mile" gathes 41 tracks, none of which are found on the Chess Box, and most of which have never before been available on an official US release.

          Much of this fine material is equal in quality to Waters' better known output, and "One More Mile" includes lots of rarities and alternates spanning the late '40s to the early '70s, with some special points of interest: the original 1955 version of "I Want To Be Loved", which was covered by the Rolling Stones on the B-side of their very first single, and 11 songs from a previously unreleased 1972 Swiss radio broadcast, showcasing Muddy performing with a drummer-less trio.

          The late-40s songs on disc 1 are among the best, showing Muddy's prowess on the slide guitar. On these lean, mean renditions of "Rollin' And Tumblin' pt. 2", "Burying Ground" and "You Gonna Need My Help", Waters is accompanied only by bassist Ernest "Big" Crawford, and this raw slide playing is some of the best I've ever heard him do.
          But there are plenty of other highlights on the first disc, including the swinging, band-backed "She's So Pretty" (on which Willie Dixon plays "basss", according to the liner notes), the alternate versions of "I Want To Be Loved" and "Crawlin' Kingsnake", Sonny Boy Williamson's "Elevate Me Mama", and the soulful slow "Lonesome Room Blues".

          Muddy's rendition of Junior Wells' (or rather Mel London's) "Messin' With The Kid", which is called "Messin' With The Man", is actually really good as well, in spite of a silly attempt to alter the song enough to make it a "Muddy-song" rather than a Junior Wells-song.
          Muddy's version of pianist Eddie Boyd's classic "Five Long Years" is not quite as good as Boyds' original, but he does a pretty decent "You Don't Have To Go" (although it doesn't sound quite right without Jimmy Reed's drawling, mush-mouth delivery).

          There's also a lot of pianist Otis Spann here, which is alway a good thing, and drummer extraordinaire Fred Below is particularly great on "Oh Yeah". And "One More Mile" also includes the infamous take of "Country Boy", which features Leonard Chess pounding the bass drum. He's not all that great, though.

          Disc 2 is highlighted by "Early In The Morning Blues" (a rip-off of John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson's "Early In The Morning"), the fine slow numbers "One More Mile" and "Come Back Baby", and an interesting take on Richard Jones' jazz/blues-standart "Trouble In Mind".
          The awful organ playing on "Trouble, Trouble" is inexcusable, but the last eleven songs on disc 2, the acoustic trio performance, are quite interesting. Waters, second guitarist Louis Myers, and harpist George "Mojo" Buford lay down raw, stripped-down versions of "My Pencil Won't Write No More", "Rock Me", "Hoochie Coochie Man", "You Can't Lose What You Never Had", and Big Joe Williams' "Baby Please Don't Go". Most of them are very good, although the two-guitars-and-a-harmonica arrangements are a little bit monotous at times.

          All in all, this is a surprisingly good addition to Muddy Waters' already magnificent legacy, and a fine purchase for Muddy-fans. Not the place to start, but a great addition to your collection once you have the essentials.
          Definitely recommended.
