5.0 out of 5 stars high on the hog with RECIPES-cookin' the blues!, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Recipes (Audio CD)

Bill Wharton and the Ingredients bring the power of their live shows to this disc. Already a concert stand out "She's a Monkey" follows in the tradition of Wharton's fine originals which stand up to anything else in the contemporary blues artist genre. One can feel the truth when Wharton plays slide guitar as only a handful of North Floridians could. John "JB" Babich does things on a Hammond Organ that could melt a Leslie, and Magic John on bass-well let's just say that he is aptly named."Your Maytag Done Broke Down" is good fun,and could have been a 1954 recording on a number of independent Chiacgo labels but it is not. This is 1999 Florida Panhandle Blues at its best. Bill and his great band "The Ingredients" have toured France, Ireland, the USA and have Canada looming in the future. These songs are road tested, tight, and packed with glory and might. Not to be trapped in traditional blues check out "Big Bang Theory" THIS DISC IS HOT-just like Liquid Summer, but that is another story on this fine five star multi media disc-a Burning Disc in fact-Wharton's own- RECIPES a 5 star musical gumbo of blues and more. This only scratches the surface of what this release holds-the music-so get out the cd players or the computers and either way you are bound to enjoy RECIPES.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feed Me - Daddy-O!, July 21, 1999

Bill Wharton's been feeding ALL the senses for a long time, and Recipes has it all. There's Love in this here pot, for sure. Wharton and The Ingredients are certainly musically accomplished enough to succeed mightily without a "gimmick" of any sort, but sitting down to a meal with friends after a wild night of Bill Wharton's musical frenzy is akin to a celebration with one big extended, if perhaps dysfunctional, family. Recipes is a must-have CD for every blues/food enthusiast! Bring on the Big Sausage!

As a 23 year old blues fan, it is tough to find people my age that will listen to blues like this, much less like them. However, when I took my girlfriend to see Bill Wharton in Key West at Margaritaville, she suddenly became a blues fan, and it is now all she can talk about. She has even tried to cook the gumbo, and needs to keep trying. This disc is a must have for those of us that know and love the blues, or who want to turn someone on to the blues. However nothing compares to a show...
