Christopher Dallman • Toxic Video

Singer/songwriter Christopher Dallman has released his final video from the Sad Britney EP, featuring "Toxic". The EP, released at the end of 2009, featured Dallman's take on 4 songs from Britney Spears' heyday. Only Dallman explored the brooding, darker side of four songs associated with the Pop Princess. In the "Toxic" video, you can see and feel the demons at work as Dallman fights off his urges on the streets of Las Vegas.



For those who might need a little more of a taste of Dallman's delicious take on the music, here is the audio for "...Baby, One More Time". It is one of my early YouTube efforts, after Christopher asked if someone could do that. I was more than happy to help him out, for I do love his music.



While I'm at it, might has well give you the opportunity for the trifecta, watching the music video for "Gimme More". There is a sexy insatiability in Dallman's version of the song, but with a hint of needy desperation.



You can purchase Sad Britney on iTunes. For more about Christopher Dallman, visit his official website. There you can listen to some of his latest music, from the EP Light The Love. In fact, for less than $9, you can get both on iTunes or Amazon, and make your Labor Day weekend that much more tuneful. Christopher will certainly be a big part of my holiday weekend.

Driving To Chris Dallman

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday by sharing some of my favorite videos I had taken myself of some amazing artists. Today, it will be videos I didn't take, but wish I had. And I will start with Christopher Dallman. Several years ago, I was buying some music from CD Baby, and happened across his album, Race The Light. I liked the description and the reviews of others, so o added it to the order. Ever since I took the cellophane off that CD, Chris has had me in the palm of his hand. I am so in awe of his talents. This is from that first album, Driving To You.



I have seen him live, but managed only to take a few crappy pictures, and not video a single note. My loss. He had an EP, Sad Britney, that just floored me. If you haven't already, you should check it out. So here he is, covering Britney Spears' Gimme More. And his stage patter is just near genius...

Live Show with Christopher Dallman

Tonight, I am at a live show of Christopher Dallman [website here] at the Rockwood Music Hall, and I hope to reporting back on how spectacular it was very soon. Until then, I will leave you with a couple of performances by Christopher caught on tape. The first is Right On Time, from his debut album, Race The Light. I bought it several years ago, and have been a fan of the man since.



Dallman also released an EP of his own takes on the music of Britney Spears, called Sad Britney. It is really incredible, a collection I still listen to all the time. This is Gimme More.



And, finally, Dallman released Never Was, an EP with original tunes written by this talented man. If you don't have it already, you really should buy it now. This song from that EP is called Ghosts.



The show starts at 9PM, and I cannot wait. It will be the first time I've seen him performing live, and it should be fantastic!

New Video - Christopher Dallman - Gimme More

Sad Brittney continues to live on, thanks to the artistry of Christopher Dallman. He put together a video for Gimme More by going out with his hubby, a friend and a camera, to create a video for his cover of the Britney Spears song, Gimme More. All I can say is 'Effin' Brill-E-Ant.'



To buy Sad Britney - and you just should, since it is just $3.96 and worth way more than that - you can find it on iTunes here. And you can check his official website here.

Update - Sad Britney - Christopher Dallman

Well, seems I was correct in my thoughts on the latest EP from Christopher Dallman, Sad Britney. Or at least much of the buying public agree, since it is #6 on the Singer/Songwriter charts. You Go, Christopher!



If you still need to purchase it, here is the iTunes link. For those of you who don't have a relationship with iTunes, you can try this alternative site here.

New Music - Sad Britney on iTunes

What can I say? Buy it! This EP, with four songs including ...Baby One More Time are beyond fantastic!



Christopher Dallman does melancholy Britney Spears might seem an odd choice, but leave it to Christopher to mine beyond the obvious humor and find the jewel in the pop music of Pop Princess Spears. Starting with Gimme More, the stripped down acoustic guitar adds more depth to the song, and Dallman's voice adds more urgency than than Brit could ever offer. The drive of the acoustic sound continues on Radar, with the 'I get that tingle, I wanna mingle' certainly keeps with the eerie yet sexy vibe to the song. Christopher keeps the sexy going on with Toxic. He claims the song as his own, making it more of a journey filled with love and lust, whispering the knowledge of a doomed relationship. And then there is ...Baby One More Time, with the horns mixed with the guitar to amplify the longing in Dallman's voice. Indeed, I am just crazy about this collection, and all four-songs for under $4, you can't go wrong. As much as I loved ...Baby One More Time the minute I heard it, I am now torn between Toxic and Radar being my favorite. Or maybe it's Gimme More. Damn you, Christopher Dallman! Buy it now, here is the link. If iTunes isn't working for you, try this alternative site here.
