The Blues Man Lyrics
Khaled Habib a.k.a Sultan is virtually a one-man Music Festival
Pop, rock, blues/r&b, and a variety of world-music influences abound in his music. But his songs do not sound at all like the scattershot musings of a dilettante. Rather, they are the mature, well-developed stylings of a “world fusion” artist who truly understands what it means to fuse all these disparate elements into one easily digestible, decidedly distinctive pop package. His forthcoming CD should be of great interest to an uncommonly wide-ranging audience
Sultan composes and performs a genre of music which is both traditional and modern. He has developed a personal musical mix in which he blends different musical styles as well as music from all over the world and creates an exciting and unique musical style which is both innovative and captivating. His music could be described as having influences of Pop, Rock, funk, jazz, reggae, blues, soul, Latin rhythms as well as folk music from various corners of the world. The same applies to the mix of instruments with everything ranging from traditional drums to electronic soundscapes.
He has also participated at major European festivals such as: Falun Folk Musik Festival, Roskilde Festival, ArtGenda Festival, Stockholm Water Festival, Re:Orient Festival , Folk o Folk Festival, Verlden i Norden Festival, 550 Fatih Istanbul Festival and many others.
Sultan’s artistic field extends into the domains of performing and directing his shows, as well as composing music for films and theatre plays, such as La Celestina set up at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theatre ( Dramaten ) under the direction of Robert Lepage (1998), and the film Nattbok by Carl Henrik Svenstedt, ” Vingar av glas” and ” Cappricciosa” directed by Reza Bagher,”Huvudrollen” by Leyla Assaf -Tangroth.
Sultan presents his musical style with great energy and charm, especially in his live performances. A concert well suited not only for a live audience but also for the radiolisteners, as it was so varied and beatful.”
- Lars Lundin Producer, P4 Live Radio
“Sultan’s songs do not sound at all like the scattershot musings of a dilettante. Rather, they are the mature, well-developed stylings of a “world fusion” artist who truly understands what it means to fuse all these disparate elements into one easily digestible, decidedly distinctive pop package”
- Tom Bingham, Beyond Feelings
“”Easy” is smooth and likeable and very well played by the musicians. Sultan’s vocals are warm and invinting. Habib seems to be on an intriguing path with these songs and he should find a receptive audience with a little luck.”"
- Anna Maria Stjärnell , Beyond Feelings
“”Soul Healer” swings and has a melody that easily gets stuck in one’s mind. Sultan handles his many influences well and works the important message of human rights into the lyrics well.”
- Anna Maria Stjärnell , Beyond Feelings
“Sultan is virtually a one-man Music Festival. Pop, rock, blues/r&b, and a variety of world-music influences abound in his music”
- Tom Bingham

- Anna Maria Stjärnell
“Sultan’s songs are mature, bluesy and have a unique feeling to them.
- Anna Maria Stjärnell , Beyond Feelings
“all in all ..awesome ,,just what the industry needs right now..”

127 Rose Avenue $18.98 Released in June of 2009, the first single from Hank Williams, Jr.’s 127 Rose Avenue is called “Red, White & Pink Slip Blues,” a paean to the economic uncertainty of 21st century recession America. It’s like a lot of contemporary country singles these days, anthemic truth tales reflecting the concerns of the common (wo)man, who is struggling to find his/her place in a country that seems to have packed itself up and left them behind. The single was a hit and may carry the album to the higher rungs of the charts with it. That said, this has nothing to do with the actual quality of the music. In many ways, Williams has been remaking the same record since the early 1980s. It has his seamless blend of loud Southern rock-style guitars, rowdy, rebellious lyrics, hell-raising drums, and fist-pumping choruses, with a ballad or two thrown in for good measure. It’s a formula, but one that has worked to keep Williams with Curb Records and on the charts for nearly 30 years. No matter what the trend in the music itself, from the Urban Cowboy days on, Williams has remained in style remarkably enough because his songwriting reflects the timeless concerns of country fans. He first took up the heady electric guitar sound in the late ’70s and perfected it in the early ’80s. 127 Rose Avenue changes the production style to reflect what’s going on in contemporary country — big compressed guitars, melds of fiddles and banjos, and rock & roll drum kits. The other notable tracks on this set are the loud and proud, self-penned, “Farm Song” with a guest appearance by pedal steel guitar icon Robert Randolph; “All the Roads,” a duet with the Grascals, and, as is usual on a Hank Jr. record, an homage to his father called the “The Last Driftin’ Cowboy,” with a sample from “Honky Tonk Blues,.” If you dig Bocephus’ countless previous albums and/or are a fan of the new brand of Nashville rock that calls itself “contemporary country,” you’ll dig this. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi |

A Year in the Wilderness $16.98 While there’s no arguing that John Doe is a gifted songwriter and has one of the finest voices in the great state of California, since he made his solo debut with Meet John Doe in 1990 he seems to have been struggling to create a musical identity that’s separate from his superb work with X. While it falls several notches short of his best work, A Year in the Wilderness suggests that he’s finally been able to create an eclectic but emphatic persona that’s all his own. While “The Golden State,” Doe’s duet with Kathleen Edwards, recalls some of X’s more measured and soulful moments (more so than “Darling Underdog,” which Doe wrote with his X collaborator Exene Cervenka), most of the rest of the album settles into a groove that suggests blues-infused folk-rock that isn’t afraid to get noisy around the edges, aided by the tough, gutsy guitars of Dave Alvin, Dan Auerbach and Chris Bruce. While Doe can and does rock out on A Year in the Wilderness — most effectively on “Lean out Your Window” and “Hotel Ghost” — he seems most comfortable easing back on mid-tempo material like “A Little More Time,” “Big Moon” and “The Meanest Man in the World,” and his rich, soulful vocals and flinty, poetic lyrics which find room for compassion as well as brute realism fit the tunes perfectly. By Doe’s own word, most of the songs A Year in the Wilderness were written in the studio under a tight deadline, and while the results sound spontaneous, they don’t feel rushed and the album is thankfully short on filler. These songs come across as personal, honest and affecting, but several of them lack the immediate charge of Doe’s most celebrated work, and A Year in the Wilderness is an album that seeps in rather than reaching out to grab the listener. Still, this music succeeds admirably on its own terms, and the disc’s tone suggests that John Doe is getting his heart and soul on plastic in a way that’s sometimes eluded him in the past, and that’s both impressive and encouraging… |

At 89 $17.98 Pete Seeger already has more albums in print than most people could ever listen to, but he continues to astonish with his joie de vivre and creativity. This 32-track collection was recorded live and in the studio, during his 89th year, and is full of Seeger tunes, new and old, as well as spoken word passages that introduce and illuminate the songs. The five spoken word passages are full of hard-won wisdom, and may sound fine between songs at a concert, but on a CD they don’t really work. That leaves you with 14 Seeger songs, guaranteed to inspire. “False from True” is a New Orleans-style Dixieland blues that examines mortality and aging with a mournful but still hopeful eye. Clarinet, banjo, and bass provide gentle support to this song from 1968 that sounds even more poignant in Seeger’s slightly cracked 89-year-old voice. “If It Can’t Be Reduced” is a new song, based on the City of Berkeley’s zero waste resolution — “If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.” A young woman suggested Seeger use the words to write a song, and he did. With his 12-string guitar chiming and a chorus of friends, he turns the words into a childlike hymn to recycling that’ll make you grin as you sing along. “If This World Survives” was written with Berkeley songwriter Malvina Reynolds, and Seeger leads an a cappella chorus to deliver its message of hope. “Tzena, Tzena, Tzena” was a hit for the Weavers in the ’50s, a song by Israeli soldier/songwriter Yehiel Haggiz. Here Seeger and friends sing it in Hebrew and Arabic as an affirmation of brotherhood and understanding. “Bach at Treblinka” borrows a bit from Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring for this song about the Nazi death camps. Martha Sandefer delivers the chilling lyrics. In Treblinka the guards organized an orchestra of prisoners to play each morning for the prisoners marching off to th… |
