"Night House" is Caroline's second CD and it has 14 instrumental songs featuring her extraordinary piano playing. Twelve of the songs are her original compositions and all are in the American roots styles of boogie-woogie, blues, jazz and country swing. One reviewer has said about "Night House" -- "Caroline's impulsive beats and relentless rhythms drive her sound into near-frenzy. Totally original, but far from being over-stated, she pumps out the songs in a way that would make Jerry Lee Lewis beg for mercy."

"Night House" has a couple of songs showcasing Caroline's solo piano, while the duets, trios and quartets feature the outstanding San Francisco Bay-area musicians Bowen Brown and Kent Bryson on drums, Tim Wagar on bass, Tom Rigney on violin, and Rob Sudduth on tenor sax. This self-taught master pianist of American indigenous piano styles is originally from Louisville, Kentucky, where she played with the Metropolitan Blues All Stars (June Appal Records, Taxim Records). San Francisco has been her home for over 30 years, where she currently performs solo around the Bay area and with Tom Rigney & Flambeau.

Devil Digit Boogie Woogie is Caroline Dahl's third CD and first solo piano album - all Caroline, all piano. All 15 tracks (except for one) are her own songs, showcasing her unique groove of Boogie Woogie and American Roots music. Four of the songs are Caroline's medleys that include great tunes like La Vie En Rose, Habanera, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, Anitra's Dance, and others.

Dahl really shines when she blurs the lines of historic conventions. She dresses out traditional stomping bass lines with touches of jazz harmony, country swing and early rock 'n roll.
