After penning tunes for artists like Chely Wright and
Jo Dee Messina, Carolyn Dawn Johnson successfully
launched her own artist career with the 2001 release of
Room With A View. The hit single, “Complicated” helped
establish this Candian-born singer at radio. Her new album, Dress Rehearsal, showcases Johnson’s development as an artist and is set to expand on the success of her debut outing. “I think it’s a big growth from Room with a View,” she says. “The sound is a notch up, too. While the first record is a lot more searching and hoping, mixed with maybe some sadness, this one is introspective in a different way, yet very joyful. And I think I’ve learned more in the studio.” She credits some of her creative growth in the studio to her producer, Dann Huff.“He’s such a genius,” she says. “In my head, I hear melodies and sometimes I’ll sing ’em to a musician and say, ‘Can you try playing this?’ And Dann was totally open to that. He never made me feel like my ideas were unimportant. I’d sing little things, and he’d take it and do it, then put an extra flair of his own stuff on it. So it was the right choice, going to him.” For more information visit
