Reviews for "NEVER STOP"
"Sleep When You're Dead is pretty cool."HENRY ROLLINS, December 2008
"This Canadian fellow has made sure that his work is available at most Web locations, so those who want to experience NEVER STOP will just have to go to one of their music bookmarks for a sample or a download. Here you will find, as Naish writes, "foot-stamping solo acoustic songs, two broken bottle blues numbers and one Joe Cocker meets Joe Strummer soul shouter."
So that's what this listener did - go to one of the sites to experience Chris Naish. The first tune we stumbled across, "Sleep When You're Dead," is kinda rap in the lyrics, kinda blues in the feet, and sort of rock in other parts of the body/song. Not bad stuff at all. Apparently the folks around his home area of Alberta in Canada are screaming for him to be played on the local stations and reviewed in print and on the Web. Remember that Naish is (or was) a folk player at times. That's the news, but then, what is "folk" in this day and age. He pounds some stuff on his CD. It seems Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of his influences. That's kinda nice too."
INDIE UPDATE, February 2009
"Musician Chris Naish's new project the Never Stop EP is a collection of lo-fi blues-rock. The 5-songs found on this EP are filled with a collection of both clean and fuzzy guitar sounds with the occasional harmonica note added in to the mix. This EP has a very Jack White-White Stripes feel with its sparse guitar driven songs spiced up with Naish's raw lyrics. I liked what Chris Naish's Never Stop EP delivered up on my musical plate. 8.5 stars out of 10.

Reviews for "DOG IN BOMBAY"
"Channeling a little Dylan and some carefully dispersed spirituality into a raggedly warm, one-man, one-guitar recording whose appeal lies in it's simplicity, Chris Naish served notice that some of Calgary's better young folkies are the ones clamoring for the least attention"BEATROUTE - Alberta Roots Round-Up, Decemember 2007
"Chris Naish is one of those passion-first, iron-out-the-details-later singer/songwriters who can lay down a low-budget recording knowing that it actually suits, even enhances, the plaintive one-guitar sound he's going for. Those who hear Dog In Bombay won't find it hard to believe that Naish draws from the likes of Bob Dylan and Shane MacGowan. Funny thing is, in doing so, he actually comes off more like an early 20-something Paul Westerberg, which, for any Calgarian dropping a debut CD, ain't a bad comparison to earn." BEATROUTE, May 2007
"Now this is local talent at its grass roots. Just Chris and his guitar, and the occasional tambourine. A self-recorded and promoted project, Chris blends rhythm and blues with some Johnny Cash like vocals on songs that don? pull any punches. Some interesting guitar work here, and some good potential."
CITY LIGHT NEWS, April 2007
"Chris makes his guitar almost talk in the songs with his fine playing. Chris' vocals are a little rough around the edges but are oozing over with passion. You can tell that these are not just mere words but emotions bursting out of his heart."
