Bio:
Carl Dixon Music - A man of titanium, rock and soul. Carl’s returned to his rock roots with his new album UNBROKEN released through AOR Heaven Germany Nov 29,2019. Since signing his first international record deal at 22, with Coney Hatch, Carl’s stellar voice and songs forged a music career for 30+ years. With the Hatch opening for Iron Maiden’s Piece of Mind tour (40 shows), 27 shows for Judas Priest and more. Carl went on to a solo career and joined world chart toppers The Guess Who as lead singer for eight years (as well as playing in April Wine four years.) Carl’s extraordinary life was blindsided by a near-fatal car accident in 2008. His dogged comeback from traumatic brain injury, losing an eye and 50 others injuries is the stuff of legends. He is one; having just toured again with Coney Hatch (with buddies Andy Curran, Dave Ketchum) to sold out venues in France, Germany, and in Quebec and Ontario with Steve Harris’s British Lion. Coney Hatch sounding better than ever with Sean Kelly breathing new life into those iconic riffs. Carl rejoined The Guess Who for two special shows in 2016, released a book “Strange Way To Live” which remains on his publisher’s best seller list. Carl is with Canada’s National Speakers Bureau and shares his inspiring comeback story “Rock to a Hard Place The Journey Back” to corporations across North America.
Album:
Here’s Coney Hatch frontman CARL DIXON solo debut album, 1993’s “One“, in its AOR Heaven Records remastered reissue, includng 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks. With detailed liner notes by legendary journalist Dave Reynolds, full lyrics and rare photos, this re-release has bee remastered by expert Chris Lyne. Additionally, despite isn’t mentioned, the album has been slightly re-mixed, as compared with the original edition there’s subtle differences on many tracks.As extra, we added the exclusive tracks from Dixon’s EP released the same ’93, same sessions, four songs.“One” is classic Canadian Melodic Rock / AOR from A to Z. We still got the original release, but didn’t played it since many years. Now listening this stupendous remastering only can say that completely forgot how good this record is.It makes no difference which of the 17 tracks (including the 2 bonus) you choose, you’ll get melodic rock / AOR par excellence. “The Blood Rises“ does exactly that to the listener, while “More Than A Memory“ reminds me more than once on the mighty Eddie Money (R.I.P.).You can do no wrong with the ballsy April Wine–ish “Through The Fire“. “Against The Night“ and “Love Is Waiting“ are the names of the non-syrupy ballads. The great “One Good Reason” is a co-write with maestro Brett Walker, then the rocker “Taste Of Love” sounds like Aerosmith meets Def Leppard flavoured.Absolutely necessary for lovers of April Wine, Streetheart, ’80s Bryan Adams, and of course, Coney Hatch, in fact Carl Dixon’s “One” is a delicious listen for lovers of that classy, Canadian / American Melodic Rock & AOR sound and style from the Eighties.
