G. Love- Fixin' to Die


This is the cover of Fixin' To Die By G. Love



This is the original Bukka White song Fixin' To Die



Fixin’ To Die is one of the best albums I have heard from G. Love. He really uses his great Philly-influenced vocals and music to give this almost blue grass album a unique and fun sound. There are a handful of great cover songs on here, from the opening track "Fixin’ to Die" (a Bukka White cover), to a really badass rendition of Paul Simon’s "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." Even though there are a handful of covers the whole album sounds original and great. The Avett Brothers are featured on Fixin’ To Die and mix with G. Love perfectly. If you are a G. Love fan this is one of the best and strongest albums he has ever made. If you are a first time listener then prepare yourself for some great slide and blues guitar work. This is an absolute must listen for everyone.  




Final Review- 95
