Yeah, It's That Easy is the third album by G. Love & Special Sauce, released in 1997. Dr. John contributed to the album. "Stepping Stones" was a minor modern rock radio hit.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly thought that "songs like 'I-76', a goofball paean to his native Philadelphia, sound less like Ray Charles and more like Ray Stevens." Trouser Press wrote that "the potentially worthy grooves found in the rim-shot soul of 'Lay Down the Law' and the jazzy hip-hop of the title track stretch into monotonous jamband crap that would make Dave Matthews apologize for his thoughtlessness."

The Washington Post determined that "Love is at his best when he allows pop pleasures to shine through the montage of archival roots and hip-hop experiments."
