Product Description

Eddie Spaghetti, lead singer and bass player for legendary rock-n-roll band The Supersuckers has up and done it: the accursed solo record (¯ugh·solo records are so lame!˜), titled ¯The Sauce˜. That’s right, the irreverent, witty, wise-cracking bastard child of Roger Miller is here to take the piss out of this whole ¯look-at-me-I'm-an-important-artiste˜ scene with a record full of his favorite songs. Loose, fun and easy to swallow, ¯The Sauce˜ spans seven decades of songwriting and showcases Spaghetti’s impeccable song choices and uncanny ability to sing the drinking songs for drinkers who like to drink the drinks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slather yourself in "The Sauce", January 25, 2004

"The Sauce" is the new solo effort (on MID-FI Recordings) by the Supersuckers-Vocalist/Bassist/Conversationalist extraordinare, Mr. Eddie Spaghetti.
Punk Rock? No. Music that'll scare the old folks at family reunions, etc? No.(well maybe Cocaine Blues and Killer Weed will get 'em a little nervous) Country? Yeah I guess that'd be fair.
The cd combines upbeat "good ol' drinkin' songs" such as "Best Of All Possible Worlds" by Kris Kristofferson, Gotta Get Drunk" by Willie Nelson and "Little Ol' Wine Drinker, Me" by Mills/Jennings, with the Contemplative and Soulful, "Bottom Dollar" by D. Finely, "Misery and Gin" by John Durrill/Snuff Garrett, "I Don't Want To Lose You Yet" by Steve Earle and a real nice "acoustic" re-tooling of Eddie's "Sleepy Vampire." All this plus 5 more gems, one being "Killer Weed" another "Eddie" original.
Song/Stories that'll stick to your ribs, delivered in damn fine fashion by Eddie Spaghetti and alot of talented musicians including Rontrose Heathman, Mike Murderburger, Kurt Bloch and Quattro.(yeah even Eddie's son does a song-"Blue Shadows On The Trail" by Randy Newman)
So buy it, play it and slather yourself in "The Sauce" You'll be glad, damn glad that you did.

P.S. If you like the "Country" Supersuckers sound, check out "Must've Been High" and Must've Been Live."

5.0 out of 5 stars No need to hoot and holler, January 27, 2004

By 

"nopanandscan" (Fontana, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sauce (Audio CD)

Let me start by saying that the Supersuckers' "La Mano Cornuda" is one of the greatest rock records ever made. However, after later being exposed to Eddie's country side with the brilliant "Must've Been High" release I've been hankerin' for more ever since. "Roadworn and Weary" and "Non-Addictive Marijuana" from that release are true genius. After a real good rock record "Motherf*ckers Be Trippin" (featuring "Pretty F'd Up" which should have been a SMASH), I was stoked to hear the next project would be countri-flavored. One of my two faves from MBT, "Sleepy Vampire", has been reworked here and is about the best song you'll hear out there, period. Usually rock singers shriek because they can't sing, Eddie is the exception. His "rock" voice is top notch and his "country" voice may be even better. Face it, the guy's versatile. This album is mostly covers but he makes most of them his own from the opening note. BUY IT NOW! Then buy "La Mano Cornuda", "Must've Been High" and "MFr's Be Trippin". If you don't....it will seriously cut into Eddie's drinking budget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mmmmmmm, The Sauce Is Just Right, January 23, 2004

By 

"bethy412" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sauce (Audio CD)

Although I never tire of listening to any of The Supersuckers' records, I have to say, "The Sauce" by Supersucker's frontman, Eddie Spaghetti, is just what I needed. The album contains mostly acoustic covers of great bluesy, country songs. Spaghetti's version of Steve Earle's "I Don't Want To Lose You Yet" brings tears to my eyes. Kris Kristofferson's "The Best Of All Possible Worlds" is perfect in Spaghetti's tuneful growl. My two favorite songs on the album are Eddie Spaghetti's own. "Sleepy Vampire", from The Supersuckers 2003 release "Motherf**ckers Be Trippin'", is stellar, and "Killer Weed" rocks out. "The Sauce" is just right.
