Radio is the fourth studio album by the band Naked City, and their first to be composed entirely by bandleader John Zorn. The album was also released as part of Naked City: The Complete Studio Recordings on Tzadik Records in 2005.
Radio marked a return to the eclectic, "jump cut" style of the band's 1989 debut album, making drastic shifts from one musical style to another often every few seconds. The liner notes cite a wide range of musical influences, including Frank Sinatra, Igor Stravinsky, Led Zeppelin, Bernard Herrmann, Santana, and Quincy Jones, in addition to Zorn's previously identified touchstones.
