"Wilson's Hotel" is a working man's album. It has a world-weary feel to it. This is a world full of booze, kind women, and guys who work themselves to the bone every day. The lyrics remind me of early John Prine.  They're brilliant, hitting the mark with cynicism and ironic humor. The instrumentation and recording on this album are superb. Strap on your headphones, or listen very closely. Whether you're a fan of Folk or Blues, this is an album to be treasured.

“...reminiscent of the dour delivery of Son Volt's Jay Farrar...Sayles’ love of the strangeness and beauty of Americana is reflected throughout the 12 songs.”
