 the dawn of carolyn dawn johnson Aug 15, 2007
Carolyn Dawn Johnson's debut album, Room with a View, is not as great as her follow-up "Dress Rehearsal" but it's still plenty good. It's an enjoyable country/lite rock album. The songs are pretty uncomplicated, there's no overproduction here, and Carolyn sings them well. Not a whole lot of uptempo high energy stuff. A weakness is the songs don't sound much different from each other. The better tunes on here are:
Georgia
Just Another Girl
Love is Always Worth the Wait
Little Bit of This

 Room with a view Aug 03, 2005
Carolyn Dawn Johnson does an excellent job with this cd. Her music is different yet it always leaves you feeling good. I highly recommend this cd and her latest one "Dress Rehearsal". You won't be disappointed.

Debut album shines Sep 15, 2003
Carolyn Dawn Johnson is now a household name in Canada, where she has picked up various industry awards, and had many hit singles from this album. The songs are personal and ring true for many people like me. Previously she wrote a hit song for Chely Wright, her breakthorough 1999 hit "Single White Female". The album's first single was "Georgia", a nice ballad with strong vocals and a memorable hook. "Complicated" was one of the biggest hits from the album, a song that explained the complication of love and relationships so well. "I Don't Want You To Go" was also a considerably big hit, with its catchy chorus and immediately recognizable hook. "You Are" was a single in Canada, the song I did not care for at first but its a nice pleasant ballad. "One Day Closer To You" was also a single, a nice uptempo song about being one day closer to finding love and that special person. There's some really beautiful songs here, like the title track which is sad, dedicated to her brother who passed on. "Masterpiece" is a song about a family that Carolyn knew who faced adversity and conquered love. There's some other reflective songs about relationships like "Love Is Always Worth The Ache" and "Just Another Girl". Overall a very strong debut, I can't wait for her second album!

She's fabulous- that's all there is to it! Sep 07, 2003
Carolyn Dawn Johnson has been in the music industry as an esteemed songwriter long before coming out with her debut album. She put her lyrical talents to work on this album, coming up with thoughtful and creative lyrics that are well above average. However it is not only the lyrics that make the album superb. Everything from the catchy tunes, clever arrangements and background vocals, not to mention Carolyn Dawn Johnson's sweet soprano voice, is what makes the album so above average. Each of the 11 songs on the cd are great, my favorites being "Georgia," "Little bit of this, little bit of that" (on this track, she really lets her 'inner diva' show through with her vocals), and "I Don't Want You to Go." Another plus is that the album is more accessible to a wider audience because it's not heavily "twangy," so people who don't necessarily like country but like pop or rock might find that they love this album. Give "Room With a View" a chance, you won't be dissappointed!

great May 26, 2003
This is a great cd if your into light pop and adult contemporary music. None of the cds sound like their country, so I don't understand why she's in the country category. My favorite songs are #5,#6 and #10. Keep in mind that the rest of the songs don't sound like the hit song "complicated."
