The Gabe Dixon Band





(The band released their debut album for Fantasy Records, The Gabe Dixon Band, in August 2008. In its initial days of release, it has received praise from the music press and fellow artists. The band toured the United States from Aug 2008 through Nov 2008 with native New Yorker turned Canadian resident, Justin Nozuka. The song Find My Way was the opening track to the film The Proposal (2009) starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.


Gabe's solo album, One Spark, will be released on August 23, 2011. The album is produced by Marshall Altman and will feature a duet with Alison Krauss.)


I think this band has a wide diversity of songs/styles. I REALLY REALLY love all of it. My favorite so far, is Baby Doll. I think it is an exceptionally sweet and patient song. I hope he gets the girl :)






♫You take your coffee differently each day
I hope you think my noticing's okay
Just when I think I'm learning all your moves
Do you even see the dance you do
Between who you are and what you choose?

You're restless when you're talking about him
And I don't mind discussing it again, no
You say talking to him's just making sound
I don't see why you're still hanging 'round
You're the fastest rolling stone in town

Baby Doll what you gonna do now?
Is your head in the clouds or stuck in the ground?
Will you pin your hair or let it down?
I'm sticking around
Don't let me down Baby Doll

I'm sorry if I'm calling you too late
And now I'm fumbling for words to say
I've got your voice repeating in my head
All the sad and lonely things you said
Maybe I should let you get to bed

Or maybe, maybe
Baby Doll
I hate to see you sad
I hate to see you sad
But I love to see you

Baby Doll what you gonna do now?
Is your head in the clouds or stuck in the ground?
Will you pin your hair or let it down?
I'm sticking around
Don't let me down Baby Doll
Baby Doll♫

  4. Marty - I really tried to find an upbeat piece for today...something edgy and hard, because I do like those, but nothing was coming to me. I like to show diversity, but I'm not doing that very well of late.

    Shoes - Yeah. Me too. Me too!

    Ecco - I LOVE the photo on his website! So dramatic. Thank you for the introduction. Such things are gifts to me :) I really liked the song New Shoes! I'll listen to more when I get home.

    Lorraine - Can't we dance now? I know you do. I see you through the kitchen window ;)
