Featuring Original Music from the documentary “Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President”
“Peanuts” is the latest album from the Sauce Boss. It’s a diverse retrospective, with some new tunes thrown in, all from the original score for the Jimmy Carter film. From his 1989 Kingsnake release of "Let the Big Dog Eat" featuring Pat Ramsey and Lucky Peterson, through three decades of shouting his blues, to the new release of “Shiner’s Blues,” Bill Wharton has painted a sonic backdrop for the story of a president, who to this day is an ardent fan of music.

It was arguably musicians who got Carter elected, playing benefits on the weekends so he could buy ads on Monday morning, and introducing fans to their good friend, a peanut farmer from Georgia. As Chuck Leavell said, “He’s one of us.” While in office, the President used music as soft diplomacy to make this world a better place.

The movie has garnered many accolades. President Jimmy Carter said, “The film exceeded my expectations in every way.” CNN Films premiered “Rock and Roll President” on January 3, 2021. The Los Angeles Film Awards gave “Best Picture”, and ‘Best Feature Documentary” to Director Mary Wharton, along with “Best Original Score” going to Bill Wharton, the Sauce Boss himself!

Today, blues and R&B music are no longer the preserve of working class African Americans and, although the city of Memphis itself has changed, the influence of its legendary performers can be heard in the recordings on this cd. The selections here, taken from the current generation of blues and R&B artists, represent the best of the new era of Memphis Music.

Although they are continuing the traditions of artists such as B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson, these artists sing new songs with new voices; however, the intertwined threads of anguish and joy, agony and celebration are still present, as they in the primitive blues that W.C. Handy heard down on Beale Street all those years ago. /Excerpt from the liner notes

The inventor of gastronomic boogie woogie. He sings the blues, he cooks the gumbo, he plays the slide, and he makes his own hot sauce. After a lifetime of music, travel and food, over a million miles on the road, over 180,000 bowls of gumbo served for free, tons of hot sauce, and thousands of gigs, the Sauce Boss is a soul shouting picnic of rock and roll brotherhood. And at the end of the night, everybody eats.

Bill Wharton, aka "The Sauce Boss," takes a novel approach to blues performing, combining his love of cooking with his passion for gutsy guitar playing and singing. Wharton, who cooks up gumbo while on stage, is no flash in the pan, nor is his live act meant as some kind of cheap gimmickry; he is simply combining two things he's always loved to do: play music and cook dinner.

Known mostly for his live shows around Florida, where he sells his own homemade Liquid Summer Hot Sauce, Wharton has been fortunate in recent years to take his act to France, where he received rave reviews. By no means a straight-ahead blues player, the guitarist, singer and songwriter's recordings are a rootsy mix of blues, classic R&B and rockabilly-flavored tunes.

Wharton's albums for the Sanford, Fla.-based Kingsnake label include The Sauce Boss (1989), South of the Blues (1994) and Standing in the Fire (1996). He also recorded an album for the Atlanta-based Ichiban label in 1992, Cookin'. All of Wharton's albums reflect his eclectic tastes and include R&B tunes, roots-rock, swamp pop numbers, Delta blues, calypso and zydeco music.

While Wharton doesn't take himself seriously, he does take his music very seriously, and he deserves to be heard by a wider audience. ~Biography by Richard Skelly
