Bill Wharton, (Sauce Boss), is the guy Jimmy Buffett sang about in his song “I Will Play for Gumbo.” Wharton’s anthem, “Let the Big Dog Eat” is included on Buffett’s “Late Night Menu at the Margaritaville Cafe” album. Albert Castiglia released his cover of the tune, and it hit #1 on blues charts. “Let the Big Dog Eat” has also appeared in the movies, “Something Wild” (Jonathan Demme), and the Rock Doc, “Jimmy Carter Rock and Roll President.” This tune and sixteen other works in the documentary earned Wharton “‘Best Original Score” from the Los Angeles Film Awards.
Dr Jules’ Cool Blues is a trio dedicated to playing the Blues, with some Jazz and Swing for good measure. Plus, if you listen to the lyrics, many of the songs are funny!
Unlike a lot of acts that throw the word “Blues” into their description, they are a Blues band. Whether it’s covering the classics in their own way or playing Dr Jules’ original “decompositions”, you’ll hear that distinctive Blues swing, and you’ll dance (or at least tap your feet) to that classic Blues shuffle.
