How G. Love Recreated the Sounds of Philadelphia

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By May 23rd of 1994…
this laid-back little song
was starting to spread through college radio and MTV…

“Cold Beverage” from G. Love & Special Sauce

(Music Cut #2)

The goal was to make the song sound less like a polished studio recording –

and more like a street-corner jam session in Philadelphia.

Drummer Jeffrey Clemens
wasn’t playing on a conventional studio drum kit.

Instead –

he was banging away on real trash cans, buckets,
and loose metal rims as percussion.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Caught a chill vibe, orange juice in my ride
Wawa’s to the right, they got beverage inside.” – G. Love & Special Sauce
