Charlie Sayles (vocals, harmonica); Anthony Gonsalves (vocals, bass); Robert Palinic, Shawn Kellerman, Deborah Coleman (guitar); Larry Wise (harmonica); Kerry Sayles (bass); "Slam", Chip Oswald (drums); Jordan Patterson (background vocals). Recorded at Inner Ear Studio, Arlington, Virginia; Solo Sound, Washington, D.C.

Harmonica player Charlie Sayles is starting to carve out a hard-fought niche for himself in U.S. blues circles, thanks to some help from the London-based JSP Records. Sayles has three excellent albums out on JSP, Night Ain't Right (1990), I Got Something to Say (1995), and Hip Guy (2000).

Sayles began to develop his songwriting voice in the mid-'70s, and his debut for the JSP label is far from a straight-ahead blues album. On his second JSP release, Sayles artfully blends funky, gritty urban blues sounds with original, down-to-earth lyrics, successfully avoiding a lot of blues clichés. Perhaps his first big break was being "discovered" by Ralph Rinzler, an organizer for the Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife. Rinzler paired Sayles up with Pete Seeger, and after a variety of festival appearances, Sayles ended up moving to Washington, D.C. By the early '80s, while living in Washington, Sayles had begun to form his first bands. Sayles' first record, Raw Harmonica Blues, was issued in 1976, long before blues became fashionable, on the Dusty Road label. Sayles didn't record again for 15 years, when he got picked up by JSP Records. I Got Something to Say has some prominent guests on it, including Washington's most celebrated blues guitar player, Bobby Parker. Also performing on the record is guitarist Deborah Coleman. Hip Guy was released in 2000. Each of Sayles' JSP recordings are well-worth seeking out, even at import prices, because of his original take on blues music. Sayles would be the first to tell you that he's not a straight-ahead Chicago blues player. He takes a much more mongrelized approach to the music, mixing in elements of New Orleans funk, Chicago blues and rock & roll in his playing. ~bio by Richard Skelly

10. Greenpeace (2:45)

Good, old-fashioned blues. Everyone knows that timeless recipe, and as the mercury spikes into summer temps, you come to crave the smooth, sweet sound.

Modern day blues man Charlie Sayles is simultaneously sumptuous and raw, beginning with the purr of bass guitar and percussion, deftly layered into live production.

His traditionally based sound harkens back to all the masters and up to the more contemporary, RL Burnside. The warmth that exists throughout his album, Charlie Sayles And The Blues Disciples gives each track an immediate emotional impact, like “Vietnam” a song rife with pain that feels like its coming from the artist stage just across the backwater bar. A few times, Sayles vocals are so hushed and riddled with pain and so muted that it’s nearly impossible to understand what he’s singing. Like with all great blues though, what the song says hardly matters as much as what it conveys.

The song subjects on Charlie Sayles And The Blues Disciples tend toward altruism murmured environmental rapping on “Green Peace” and a few didactic Christian themed tracks “Jesus Christ” and “These Chains”. Charlies Sayles reminds his listeners that the world of a blues man has gotten a little more complicated lately. It’s a hot mess out there and Charlie Sayles is making the broadest lyrical appeal, which seems apropos in this day and age. Just like it was way back then. ~By Erick Mertz

Charlie and his bassist wife Kerry were a perfect touring package - Charlie with just about the best blues harmonica technique and startlingly original musical ideas and Kerry perfectly attuned to him. Sadly, that combination only lasted one UK tour.

They cut this set in a US studio with their then current band. What an album - new songs from Charlie - and he has a way with words that matches his harp playing and singing - with a tough little blues band who knew his music with the second harmonica of Larry Wise.

This is the complete session, now 25 years old.
Frustratingly, it's superb and highly original but by an artist very few people have heard of.

Charlie Sayles' Night Ain't Right is an impressive comeback, finding the harpist in prime form. The key to the record's success is the way Sayles twists conventions around, finding tastes of flourishes funk and jazz within the genre's boundaries. His willingness to play with the music is the reason why Night Ain't Right is a modern-day Chicago blues record worth exploring. ~Thom Owens
