"The Sauce" is a ride from the heights of blues rock to the most intimate of acoustic whisperings. The disc begins with a set of one-man band tunes, each of which is a prescription for a better life. "Little Rhythm and Blues" is testament to the medicinal properties of the genre. My take on The Beatles' "The Word" lays it back into a smooth and funky plea for showing some love instead of all this hate that seems to be all around us." Delta 9 Blues", an atmospheric slow blues, touts the benefits of another kind of medicine. The first three tunes set the theme of healing with music in the genre-bending "The Sauce". It's what I do. I cook a pot of gumbo and I feed the audience, while splooging my hot sauce into the pot. I blurr definitions. I ignore boundaries. I make The Sauce. "Down By the Sea" is solo, Hawaiian-style, on my 1933 National Steel Guitar Along with my solo/one man band thing, I've lately been hanging in a high energy trio format. (two guitars and drums). The rest of the album is mostly with a trio. I'm joined by my friends, Neal Goree (guitar) and Brett Crook (drums). My good friend Damon Fowler joins me and Brett on a few tunes. There's also a few ballads (Don't Know How To Tell You, Lonely Crowd, and Left Handed Smile), but it's a soulful delivery throughout. Cure thyself with these 12 tunes. May The Sauce be with you.
