"Dinallo's Vocals Glisten On This Magnificient Poignant Ballad"

NASHVILLE, TN (Sept, 2019) Singer-songwriter Juliet Simmons Dinallo takes the next leap in her ever-expanding career with the stunning country-soul ballad “You Got Nothing on Me,” featuring Nashville’s legendary McCrary Sisters on harmony vocals. The single, released October 4th, 2019, is now available for purchase
 
Producer Michael Dinallo brings his formidable talents as producer and guitarist to “You Got Nothing on Me” while furthering his musical definition of modern-day country-soul. Michael produces records that harken back to the classic country-soul sound of the Golden Triangle, which is Memphis to Muscle Shoals to Nashville.  An immediacy of feel and sound with the great emphasis of being alive and real.  Slinky.  Seductive.  “You Got Nothing on Me” was a first take. The McCrary Sisters come from that same school of soul and gospel music, which influences country-soul and blues.

The song evokes the depth of the Golden Triangle that is Nashville, Memphis, and Muscle Shoals.  “You Got Nothing on Me” reunites Juliet with Johnny Phillips and Memphis International Records.  In 2016, she added soulful vocals to the track “Whirlwind” on the album Feel Like Going Home: The Songs of Charlie Rich, which was produced by Michael Dinallo and released by Memphis International Records. Juliet sums up the lyrical content, “You know how people can treat you with disrespect and think they are getting something over on you or better than you when they’re really just being fools with nothing to offer but misplaced arrogance and ignorance?  Well, there you have it: You Got Nothing on Me!”

“This beautiful ballad is not a “wanna be”.  It’s the real deal with the right amount of everything - opening with Michael Dinallo’s tasteful, soulful guitar to Juliet’s beautiful voice and meaningful lyrics we can all relate to. Complimented with subtle organ and beautiful background vocals, it hits home. Write your name in the sky Juliet!”

Juliet Simmons Dinallo and Michael Dinallo are touring together in the spirit of legendary musical duos – Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Susanna and Guy Clark among others.  They are currently touring together featuring Juliet’s “You Got Nothing on Me” along with their other combined musical forays in American roots music.

“Juliet Simmons Dinallo draws on a variety of influences - Shelby Lynne, Dusty Springfield and Emmylou Harris all play out among them - but given her sweet caress and compelling stance, it's all but impossible to think of anyone other than Dinallo herself when listening to this utterly alluring album. In short, consider this an album for the ages.”

ABOUT

Boston Roots and Cowboy Girl Boots.  All the way from Nashville to Memphis, and beyond, the 10-track album DREAM GIRL which dropped Oct 5, 2019, was the evolution of Juliet Simmons Dinallo’s singing, songwriting, and journey that began with 2013’s No Regrets album on Tree-O-Records. 

Dream Girl, was produced by Michael Dinallo and Ducky Carlisle, The Tremolo Twins, is an amalgam of Nashville and Memphis. Dusty in Memphis, I Am Shelby Lynne, Stax/Volt, classic Nashville sides, From Elvis in Memphis along with soulful group singing. Juliet enlisted two other tremendous vocalists from Boston, Amber Casares and Anita Suhanin, to sing with her. 

The blend is reminiscent of the Staple Singers at times ("Until I Go") or the Trio album ("Moonshine and Sweet Tea") with Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda. Tim Carter (who is a direct link to The Carter Family) recorded the mandolin, fiddle, and banjo at his studio in Goodlettsville TN.  The majority of the songs were solely by Juliet a few exceptions. 

Born in North Carolina, Juliet grew up in Maine and came of age as a musician in Boston.  She moved to east Nashville, and  these experiences have influenced her songwriting, singing and performance style, giving everything she does a unique expression.

Juliet was exposed to the arts and music from birth with both her parents being English literature scholars.  Her father studied Shakespeare, hence her name, and her mother was a folk music DJ while at college.  With music and literature all around her, it is no wonder Juliet was singing songs by the Beatles as soon as she could walk and talk. Juliet studied music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she landed a spot on the world-renowned Berklee Gospel Choir.
