"At its core, The Juice derives from a series of Nashville sessions held with Keb' Mo', who is credited as a co-producer and appears on a fair chunk of the album. The bluesman helps focus G. Love, tightening up individual songs which in turn helps the entire album gel ... It all adds up to an album that is cheerful and, thanks to the steady hand of Keb' Mo', deceptively sharp. Anything that seems ragged or a loose end is there for flavor, giving this record a relaxed, cheerful groove so offhand, it could only be conjured by old hands"
