The Sauce Boss kicks off his Spring 2008 tour to support the April 1, 2008 release of his new CD entitled simply, "RAW". He will be playing his swampy Florida slide guitar blues and cooking his World Famous Gumbo for the multitudes.
The Sauce Boss has fed 150,000 for free in the last eighteen years. He brings not only his music, but also a message. "We are ALL one big gumbo!" In 2003 Bill "Sauce Boss" Wharton began taking his band to homeless shelters all over the US to bring food for body and spirit, to those in need. His message of community and sharing is visible in every Sauce Boss show.
The twelve originals and one traditional tune on "RAW" were cut live in the studio with little or no production. Scorching slide guitar slathered like his hot sauce over his very original blues. The Sauce Boss uses no effects on his '53 Telecaster or his '59 Les Paul Special. No need when you put them through a Fender Pro Amp made in 1948.
The authentic "sound" is the foundation that "Outlaw Blues", "All That Meat and No Potatoes", and "Deep in the Shed" all have. "Hurricane Blues" was written, played, and sung by someone with first hand experience. Florida native, Bill "The Sauce Boss" Wharton has weathered more than a few hurricanes.
And after playing and serving his Gumbo to Katrina survivors in Louisiana as well as to residents of homeless shelters all over the United States, the Sauce Boss righteously sings the blues.
"Sweet Stuff" is as sweet and funky as the stuff he's singing about. "Taxi in the Rain" and "Left Handed Smile" are nailed. Both are ballads without the schmaltz. Sauce Boss covers the traditional, rollicking, "Digging My Potatoes" to kick off the disc. So with love and potatoes, the Sauce Boss sincerely sends his sound.
