press release: 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. 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. 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.
“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!”
-Holly Harris, Spinning the Blues, WUMB Boston & W.C. Handy Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipient
