notes
Soulful jazz and Brazilian inspirations percolate through Dallas' writing. One reviewer wrote," "This album contains a vision of peace for the world that is desperately needed at this time in our history." In Dallas' world, love can flow like a fountain & Morning Star guides us in sweet slumber.
Review by Mike Brannon: http://www.jazzreview.com/cdreview.cfm?ID=9227
"Dallas Johnson, a new vocal talent on the horizon has released "Move A Mountain". Well supported by a talented, accomplished cast of sidemen, including the late Mark Ledford (Pat Metheny Group), Estaire Godinez (Prince, George Benson), Mike Scott, (Prince, Janet Jackson), Tommy Elm (Prince) and Dave Barry (kd lang), she navigates everything from urban groove to neo-bossas and bluesy ballads.
Atmospheric, introspective and far ranging, Dallas' voice shines with mellifluous soul on the material aptly driven by gospel backup vocals. Check out "One Day Before Long" and "The Shadow" for choice Chaka Khan influenced treatments and cool funk guitar.
"Like a Fountain" evokes bluesy visions of Cassandra Wilson with its open African percussion treatment while "Letting Go", "Throw it Away" and the closer, Jobim's "Desifinado" takes the listener into a Brazilian dream.
All in all, a really very worthy sonic journey."
In MPLS, Dallas' songs can be heard on KBEM, KMOJ, KFAN and KFAI.

Relaxing, entertaining, thoughtful
author: Dave MI saw Dallas Johnson perform last night at a private party. Her voice sooths everyone in her presence. She has achieved a level of excellence in her singing and lyrics that moves your soul. I really like this CD!
My bathtub CD!
author: Lauren M.Every song on this CD is good. Whenever I want to relax, light some candles, drink some wine, and sit around in the bathtub, this is my pick. It's romantic, sultry, and sophisticated. The singer's strong vocals are backed by some surprisingly heavyweight musicians.
Energetic CD with a huge variety of moods and styles.
author: Brant GreeneI picked up this disk a few months ago and was hooked after my first listening. Dallas' vocal range is impressive - reminds me of a soulful and modern-day interpretation of Basia, Sade and Des'ree. It starts with a relaxing, improv-style acoustic guitar number which sets the stage for the quick-paced and energetic, Cool Down (back-up vocals are powerful). Then, it mellows into one of my favorites, Tonight it's all right. The CD is complex and full of variety - it keeps you interested all the way through. Can't wait for the next one!
incredible music and talent
author: fun4good foundationThis CD covers the spectrum of positive moods - from the mellow, sexy times in life to the upbeat, movin' times. Incredible vocals, lyrics and music make this disc, by far, one of my favorites. You should see the live show!
