Philadelphonic is the fourth album by G. Love & Special Sauce, released in 1999.
Critical reception
Spin wrote that the album's "beach-bound grooves are well-trodden." Entertainment Weekly called it "sleeker and more streamlined than its three predecessors." The Washington Post called Philadelphonic the band's best album, writing that it "achieves a flow so smooth that one can't tell where the Bob Dylan influences stop and the Eric B. & Rakim influences start."
