WE ARE GETTING ALL EXCITED! Our new CD,
"Gumbo Man" (Burning Disk Records, release date March 27, 2001), will be hitting the streets in about two weeks. Already we are getting some great feedback from Radio Deejays and others who have heard it. Though it's a studio album, "Gumbo Man" captures the shot-from-the hip "Live" sound for which the Sauce Boss is famous.
WE ARE SENDING OUT A SLEW OF "GUMBO MAN" CD's to press and radio stations, so request it from your favorite station. If they don't have it yet, ask them to drop us an email with their station address to wharton@sauceboss.com and we'll send one right out to them. "Gumbo Man" should be available soon through our website and Amazon.com. Also the record stores should have them (or at least be able to order it) by the March 27, 2001 release date, thanks to our great distributors at Red Eye Distribution <http://redeyeusa.com>. Or, you can pick up "Gumbo Man" at one of our upcoming shows <http://sauceboss.com/concert.htm>. I'm holding a truckload of them right now.
BILL WHARTON AND THE INGREDIENTS WILL BE THE HOUSE BAND FOR A LIVE TV SHOW on MSNBC-- from Downtown Detroit--"The Mitch Albom Show" this Wednesday, March 14, from 3pm-6pm. Also coming up soon is a one-hour special on the Sauce Boss, which is scheduled to air on April 1 on Rogers TV in Canada, and features concert footage from the show at the Ottawa Blues Fest last summer.
WE'RE HEADING UP TO THE NORTHEAST THIS WEEK with shows in the Detroit area, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. Then we're back down south.
SAUTEED SPINACH is so easy. First slice up several large cloves of garlic and saute them in about three tablespoons of olive oil. Add about 1/2 pound of washed spinach leaves and stir. It only takes about a minute and a half for the spinach to wilt in the oil. Serve it with your favorite salmon dish, and slather it all with Liquid Summer hot sauce. (You can use collards, turnips, or mustard greens instead of spinach, but it takes a little longer.) For a great sandwich, throw some of the sauteed spinach in a toasted pita with a big slice of feta cheese.
