Sahib Radio

Like a painter applying colors and strokes of the brush onto canvas to accomplish their work, Sahib uses words, intertwined with instruments, and expressive vocals to accomplish his. He writes of people, places, and things, that other people dont give much thought to. An old tree still standing, once used for hanging poor souls. Demons, angels, and rats. The body of a young lad, disposed of in the bottom of an abandoned well. Stone statues possessed by a former lover. What it might be like to survive a plane crash in a swamp, only to be stalked by snakes and alligators. A serial killer riding the roads in search of his next victim. Witches, ghosts, suicide, revenge, and addiction are just some of the subjects found in his library of songs. Theres even a bit of humor found as well. A fine line is drawn between what is real and what is imaginary. Its up to the listener to decide which is which. Whatever the subject, you can always count on Sahibs music being truly original. Enjoy.

Paying respect...
Some musicians lead the way and clear paths for others to follow... Its hard to put into words what Sahib Radio does to make his music a listening experience rather than merely songs that you can take or leave. If you get his work then you are hooked & thats just the way of it. Im not sure if its the telling of his stories, in a voice that you know may possibly have lived through these scenes or if it is the atmospheres that creep up on you as he creates sounds that can make the music trade places with your mind and the colours there. As a lyricist it is hard to match anyone to these enlightening & challenging themes with poetic twists save one or two famed wordsmiths that hang easily in the genius catchment. This brings me to the conclusion that Sahib is a complete artist and one who deserves the title Unique and will surely in the next few years earn the mantle Legendary to go with it.

Sahib..no one tells a story like you. With every word, you disturb the innards of a soul with profound and uncomfortable truths that shake up the comfort zone of ones soul..thank you for creating such works
The poetry, the compositions, the challenging subject matter...and the almighty execution that only you do.

The music you hear sounds ethnic, but underneath theres this rock sensibility that provides the powerhouse of the music. An artist to be savoured, in heaped up doses. Highly Recommended!

If I ever decide to get drunk on bourbon, hop into a 1960 New Yorker, and drive from Vegas to Barstow, and then out to Bakersfield to find the Real American Dream, this will be my soundtrack. The song Cold Axe, off the album New World Senate.

Song Of The Week
Bottom of the Well - from the album LIONS IN A CAGE. I found the track to be almost mesmerizing - and worthy of several listens. Many of the other tracks listed are in a similar vein. Id recommend checking out Hanging Tree, and Witchy Voodoo Woman, as well. I can hear the listed influences in the vocals but also a combination of Bob Dylan and Billy Bob Thorton from the movie Sling Blade.

Somewhere between Lou Reed and Tom Waits, Sahib Radio tells us his everyday life studys and connect them with a little repeating piano-melody and a whining guitar.\\\"For a couple of bucks you can get a tattoo maybe even two\\\"
The song Dirty Seaport Town from the album Lions In A Cage

Al Grego, The Consensus

Shades of the Man in Black himself Johnny Cash. The song itself is dark and moody which suits the singers raspy voice and the down tempo of the country & western-style rythm. The chorus is haunting and after a few listens, its hard to get out of your mind. I could hear this track in a Quentin Tarantino film.

Sahib Radio should be a familiar name, as well he should be because the man is everywhere - his brand of American rock does seem to appeal right across the board. The first version of Money From The Satisfied Man is fairly typical Sahib style (think a New Orleans sound Springsteen) although I thought that Sahib kinda rushed some of the lines. Still, musically, its a peach and well up the usual high standard I have come to expect from this musician. Style like this you dont hear everyday and I recommend this on the music alone - a fine blend of Springbean and Dylan that is pure Sahib Radio.
