--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ピアノと共に成長したものの、数年間のブランクがあったディクソン。その彼がソロピアノの道へ帰るきっかけとなったのは、1987年、大学在学中にワシントンDCでひらかれたジョージ・ウィンストンのコンサートであった。ピアノを再開した彼は、作曲も開始。 1992年に出したファーストアルバムに続き、1994年には2枚目の作品をリリース。
ディクソンの作品には、故郷を離れたり学校を卒業するなど、実生活からの経験が盛り込まれており、作風は穏やかなものからジャズ風のポップなものまで幅広い。初ピアノソロアルバム、In The Darkは、彼がジョージ・ウィンストンのプロデューサーであるハワード・ジョンストンに出会った1992年に個人的に録音された。ハワードは、In The Dark、そして2枚目のリリースIndependence Wayの両方を共同制作。
ディクソンの3枚目のアルバム、Ten Yearsは2004年の秋にリリース。サンフランシスコで録音されたこのアルバムは、ガンでなくなった親友に捧げられている。
ディクソンが影響を受けたピアニストには、他に、ブルース・ホーンスビー、エルトン・ジョン、ビリー・ジョエル、リズ・ストーリー、フィル・アーバーク、デヴィッド・ランツなどがいる。
彼の音楽は全米のテレビや多数のラジオ局で紹介されている。また、1996年にラスベガスで行なわれたアンドレ・アガシのチャリティーをはじめ、ライブイベントにも数多く出演。

Smother.net Review of Ten Years - November 1, 2006
Dixon Doll Jr. — Ten Years Buy it at Amazon
Buy it from InSound
Outstanding. That’s the first word that escapes my lips as I listen to “Ten Years”. Dixon R. Doll Jr. plays the piano better than anyone I’ve ever heard before. Yes, even better than an Elton John. His melodies are tight and his playing is just, well, awe-inspiring. As far as instrumentals go, many can drag on and seem to plod about not really doing much. That couldn’t be farther from the truth on “Ten Years”. His dynamic abilities as a songsmith and performer are unmatched. It would be a shame if he goes about not being as heralded, as he most definitely deserves.

Dixon R. Doll Jr.
Ten Years
Our Rating: 90 out of 100
When I listened to this CD, I was uptight, under a deadline, and completely stressed out. By the third track, I was calmer than if I had taken a long, hot bath. This CD isn't one to put you to sleep though, don't get me wrong. Dixon's music is far from boring. To those who truly enjoy music of all types, this is one CD that you will fall in love with.
Dixon's fingers must have been made to fly along any piano they caress. Not a one of his songs are generic in any way. Everyone is derived from an event in his life, from sleigh rides with close friends to losing a friend. This is truly music from the heart and soul.
Each track holds something different, either slow or fast, happy or sad, whatever he is trying to convey is done wonderfully. His skills are wonderful, and not once does this CD lag or fall short in any way. In fact, I've already turned some of my friends on to this CD and loaned it out for them to hear.
Tracks on this album include:
1. Sleigh Ride
2. Landslide
3. Stonebreakers
4. Ten Years
5. Cool
6. Balloons
7. Other Side
8. Fog
9. Sand Castles
10. Grove
11. Harbor
12. Valiant
13. Musical Nights
This CD can be sampled at CD Baby

Ten Years Recieves 10 out of 10 in New Review - January 25, 2005
Musicianship 10 out of 10
Dixon R Doll Jr. is a master of the keyboard specifically the piano. Both simple and complex melodies flow easily from his fingertips with ease and grace.
Songwriting - 10 out of 10
Dixons composing abilities are excellent. With instrumental pieces, a lot of times the music is open to interpretation. Fortunately, Dixon included his inspirations for his songs in the sleeve of Ten Years, so, I could interpret his music as I saw fit, but also know for which each song was intended. I have to say that his musical pieces of art captured his thoughts as well as my own. Perfect.
Sound Quality/Professionalism - 10 out of 10
The sound quality on this disc is exceptional. Just crisp, clear piano.
Packaging - 10 out of 10
Although the packaging is quite simple, I truly enjoyed the sentiments behind the music for each song listed. Very touching dedication as well.

Overall Rating - 10 out of 10
While it seems my review is rather short sometimes you just can not express well enough the thoughts you have of music without just sounding all sticky sweet. Dixon is an excellent musician and songwriter that has the ability to capture special moments, thoughts and emotions in his life in song. It is a talent that I am in awe of (considering words are more my area and I cant seem to ever really find the most adequate words to express anything!). Expression through music is magical to me and then to be able express yourself so well is just miraculous! (See? Sticky sweet!)
Ten Years captures moments as well as special people in Dixons life in a very simple yet elegant way. The title suggests a decade in a life it is not only just moments of his life, but a musical evolution of a decade. Wonderful concept. Would I change anything about this disc? No. Even though it is stripped down simple piano it is beautiful all by itself. Like a single rose.
If you enjoy instrumental piano with great, soft emotion, consider adding Ten Years to your collection and while you are at it, pick up Dixon Dolls Independence Way as well and then sit back and enjoy! See if you wont consider it perfect as well!Jen Lush, Midwestbands.com, 1/25/05
