notes
Don Dixon wears about every hat available in the music business: singer and songwriter, musician and arranger, performer and producer. He is perhaps best known for producing some of America's favorite artists of the 80s including R.E.M., Marshall Crenshaw, The Smithereens, and his wife, Marti Jones. His songs have been covered by artists as diverse as Joe Cocker, Ronnie Spector and Hootie and the Blowfish, and he’s even worked as an actor, co-starring in the 2003 underground hit film “Camp.” But with his new release, "The Entire Combustible World in One Small Room," Dixon is ready to reclaim his place as a premiere solo artist.
After a period in which Dixon had given up on songwriting, his daughter Sidney urged him to write a song for her dance group at school. After working on it for a while, Dixon says, “I realize that I have three new songs that I like... listening to them in my old van one day it dawns on me that all three are about rooms... the rooms are almost characters in the songs... maybe I have something else to write out after all... maybe I should look inside some rooms and observe life there.”
"The Entire Combustible World in One Small Room" features Dixon looking into eleven different rooms, including a hotel suite on the west coast of Mexico (“Sunlit Room”), a university women’s dorm (“Man on the Hall”) and an intensive care unit (“ICU”). The album finishes with a cover of Let’s Active’s “Room With a View” featuring Dixon's wife, singer Marti Jones.
