“Fourth Street Ruckus...all hell is breaking loose...leading the way with relentless guitar playing, Dave Sadler and the band are kickin' ass.”  
-Peter "Blezzman" Lauro, Mary4Music.com

“Damn, Dave! Nice stuff there brother!”
-Big Llou Johnson - voice of B.B. King's Bluesville, SiriusXM 

“Fourth Street Ruckus” (featuring Roly Platt), a frenetic paced, big blues sound with blistering harmonica and guitar work accompanied by the precision horn work of Dan Cipriano. Roly Platt, one of Canada’s premiere diatonic harmonica players teams with Dave on this title track for the new EP, “Fourth Street Ruckus”, scheduled for release late 2011. Platt, a Toronto native, has become a sought-after live and studio musician due to his versatility and skill. Dan Cipriano, one of the busiest saxophone players in New York, is also no stranger to the music world having toured or recorded with Wilson Pickett, Bruce Springsteen and many others. 

Listeners will recognize this cut as a rollicking re-take of “Ain’t Got Time” from Sadler’s “Fade to Blue” (2008) with blistering blues harp in lieu of vocals, percussion by Jesse Rocha and mastering by Abbey Road Studio of London. This special digital pre-release from Dave Sadler and BluezArt Records makes for one rockin’ blues jam. 

“Fourth Street Ruckus” by Dave Sadler is now available on iTunes, CDBaby, www.davesadlermusic.com and other download locations.

Dave Sadler, guitarist and studio musician, is affiliated with BMI as a songwriter/composer and resides in Pine Bluff, Arkansas where he records and publishes for the independent label, BluezArt Records.

You Shoulda Known

Worked in the studio at home today and thought i'd share this one. It's not been released, rather it's a work in progress. It's an arrangement of "Ain't No Sunshine" written by Bill Withers and originally recorded by him and released in 1971. This arrangement features Dave Sadler on guitars and vocals, Jim McCarty on drums and Randy Landas on bass.  (Mechanical license HFA-1214103391)

Ain't No Sunshine

Kicking around in the studio with some double-tracked leads just for fun on a take off of "Scuttle Buttin".....originally written and recorded by Stevie Ray Vaughn, of course. One lead track with a Taylor T5, the other track with a Taylor T3.

"Sunday Sessions" with Dave Sadler for March 13, 2016:  "Road Runner Romp" 

Road Runner Romp

An instrumental cover of "Moondance".  I used the new ES-339 for lead guitar on this one with a good bit of compression added for a snappy, but smooth sound. The guitar was tracked through a Line 6 HD500X directly to the recorder, no conventional amp used on this one. The ES-339 plays so smoothly…I really liked recording with it on this one. Hope you enjoy it!  

By the way, the original “Moondance”had vocals, of course, and was written by Van Morrison and released in 1970. Morrison has written a lot of great music…
