Coast to Coast Motel is the second album by G. Love & Special Sauce, released in 1995. ^[6]

Critical reception

The Dallas Observer called Coast to Coast Motel "almost completely stripped of the hip-hop that so pleasantly tempered the straightforward blues of the first album." ^[6] Trouser Press wrote that the group "establishes an easy mastery of understated rhythm and harmonic economy." ^[1] SF Weekly called it "steeped in the feel-good blues vibe of the G. Love live experience." ^[7]
