Like any good meal, Bill Wharton's Recipes is chock full of variety, from the tight blues-rock of "She's a Monkey" (and check out the bass work on this one) to the sweet closing chords of "It's Always Twilight Time." In between there's your swampy rock ("Ten Foot Pole"), your upbeat shuffle with a seasoning of crunchy guitar ("Little Brother"), your foot-stomping slide-guitar blues ("Your Maytag Done Broke Down"), and your requisite guitar and bass interplay ("Hangin' with the Band"). As these titles suggest, Wharton's not above a bit of whimsy, and that's fine--it makes for an album that's more fun than a barrelful of kittens. And just to prove that there's a place for the blues in this wired world, he's even got a song about the Web: "The Cyber Blues," complete with a sample of a dialing modem. That's only the beginning of the high tech; this CD's full of extras one needs a computer to properly appreciate, with the system requirements included right in the CD booklet. --Genevieve Williams

Bill Wharton--The Sauce Boss--makes Liquid Summer Hot Sauce and the hottest blues around. One morning in the early '70s, Wharton walked out of his house and found a 1933 vintage National Steel guitar in his front yard. This guitar lead him down the blues path. Deep in the woodshed, he penned Let the Big Dog Eat, a song that was featured in Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme's Something Wild.

THE MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME . . (get this!) Recipes: Bill Wharton's new CD-Rom cookbook/Blues album, with a culinary travelogue and gumbo video, interfaced with the Sauce Boss website and all on a single disc. If you think this is a lot to byte off, you're right. No one has done it. It is a mouthful just saying what it is:

1. A full length Blues album 2. A cookbook 3. A Culinary travelogue 4. A History of Bill Wharton's Liquid Summer Hot Sauces 5. A gumbo video 6. A link to the sauceboss.com website for current recipes, concert listings, photos, sound clips, and MP3 giveaways Bill Wharton is the Sauce Boss, a Florida blues man, who makes his own hot sauce, and feeds his audiences gumbo. Since 1990, the Sauce Boss has delighted the crowds with his high-energy "dinner" music. No schmaltz here, but instead, it's a git-down, soul-shouting picnic of rock-n-roll brotherhood.

After a few thousand gigs, The Ingredients (his band) have found the groove. After serving 60,000 bowls of his signature gumbo, the Sauce Boss has become a phenomenon, playing/cooking from Paris to New York, Key West to Canada, California and back home again.

After four albums on the Kingsnake label, Bill Wharton releases Recipes, an enhanced CD on his own label, Burning Disk. Recipes: it's cyberblues. An interactive root crop. Music and food. You can play it on your stereo, or load it into your computer and print out recipes for tonight's dinner. And the music Nobody plays like Bill Wharton. Rhythmic, swampy, self-styled slide guitar blues from Florida, a true original. Kenny Neal adds some Louisiana harp to the recipe for a couple of tunes. Producer Bob Greenlee (Mr. Kingsnake) lays down bass on two songs as well. And, of course, the Ingredients, with John Babich on keyboards, and Magic John Jones on bass, are always ready, willing, and able, to sear the juice into the blues.

All in all, Bill Wharton and the Ingredients deliver a heaping platter in Recipes.
