New Thought Groove
author: Lisa ColburnDan's jazzy guitar and Erin's sultry alto voice, combined with those uplifting New Thought lyrics, are a winning--not too mention movin' and groovin'--combination. I am a YogaRhythmics instructor, and I use all kinds of music in my classes. When I played "Spirit Speak to Me" from this CD, several students came up to me after class asking where they could find the song. Spirit speaks--and we're listening! More, please.
CD Review
author: Laurie WigginsThis CD will take you on a great, uplifting trip. The songs speak of brighter ways of being without the preachiness - they tell their story in an enticing way. Erin's silky smooth voice carries you along effortlessly, and Dan's vocals provide a great counterpoint. Their voices blend well when they sing together. Put this CD in when you get in the car and you'll be at your destination in no time - the music ends all too quickly.
CD Review
author: Don WesselsDreaming a New Reality review The word 'spirit' is much bandied about in the New Age genre these days, so much so that when a musical event does actually enrich one's connection to our divine commonality it is cause for notice. 'Dreaming a New Reality', the latest recording from the New Thought duo, Soul Pajamas, achieves this not by preaching, but by telling stories, successfully maintaining the exultation of spirit throughout. The duo of vocalist Erin Johnson and guitarist/vocalist Dan Johnson has many artfully wielded tools at their disposal. The songwriting is strong; they captivate when their voices combine; and the acoustic guitar playing throughout the disc is intricate and masterful. But the most distinctive voice, both figuratively and literally, belongs to Erin. Sounding at times like a holy marriage among Joni Mitchell, Patricia Barber and Nina Simone, her commanding way with a melody on songs like "In the Silence" (written by her partner, Dan Johnson) is stunning. It also suggests that this small group can convey the richness of these well-arranged songs in their live show. Other highlights are spread across the album equally, like the rave-up at the end of "A World At Peace", featuring a great electric guitar solo by the producer, Marco Delmar. The acoustic guitar work on "If I Were Brave" delights. Dan and Erin's voices combine beautifully on "House of God", a song which could fit easily into Al Jarreau's live set.The clean production allows the message to come through in a direct yet gentle way. And what a message: a celebration of love and of belief in the Positive. As Erin states in the great "Are You Ready?", a jazz waltz "...creating my world is a work of art". I can't wait hear more creations from this wonderful duo. Don Wessels/August 2007

This one never goes back in the jewel box. It's the only CD that pops me right back into a positive frame of mind when I've got the blues. Perhaps more important, my kids love to listen to it... and I feel great when they sing along to the affirming lyrics.
Inspiring original songs, delectable vocals, impeccable musicianship, arrangemen
author: Jane McDonaldI bought this CD after a Unity service at which Dan & Erin performed, but didn't get a chance to listen to it until I took it with me on a long driving trip. Six or seven straight full plays through I finally gave it a rest. Great original, uplifiting, clever, catchy songs by Dan. Erin could have had a terrific career as a jazz singer on her own had she chosen. I'm glad she teamed up with Dan. They have really taken their time with this CD to get it right. Great vocals, delectable harmonies, great musicians (including Dan on guitar), great arrangements, very well produced with good placement for nice change ups, including the addition of a really inspiring Jana Stanfield song which Erin does a nice job on. I have been listening to Dan & Erin inspire folks with their really cool style and uplifitng songs for a good while, so I am very delighted to have them with me now any time. Tasty! Bravo!
Love it!
author: Robert CoteI love this CD. Mostly originals, this is very good songwriting, and with inspirational, uplifting messages. I don't just love it -- I LOW FEET!
