In less than ten years, Sarah Dashew has managed three critically-praised albums, successful tours, television spots, and a new full-length, establishing her as one of the music industry’s most consistent singer-songwriters.
On Sarah Dashew’s upcoming full length Roll Like a Wheel, which will be released nationwide January 22, one can hear her whole musical history: Texas tejano, Southern gospel, and blue-eyed soul, but now wrapped up in a distinct Los Angeles flavor. You can still hear James Taylor and Janis Joplin, but there’s clearly a Paul Simon, Graceland-era spirit to the proceedings: The rhythms of her city have combined to imprint itself on the album. “More than any other city has done before,” Dashew pronounces. That and finding true and everlasting love.
Glide Magazine is excited to premiere one of the standout tunes on Roll Like a Wheel, “Free Ride”.
Reflecting on the origins of “Free Ride”, Dashew says the song “came about in the midst of falling in love. In so many areas of life, it seems we are always asking for someone or something to save us. At this point in my life, I can save myself thank you very much. What I’m looking for in life is a partner to learn with, someone who’s willing to walk their talk. That kind of strength and desire just came out into a good, tough blues rock swagger.”
Give a listen to Sarah Dashew’s “Free Ride”:
Roll Like A Wheel comes out January 22nd. For more music and info check out sarahdashew.com.
