"Dallman is a fine tunesmith and his guitar-playing pulls no punches either. His distinct vocal style has touches of the lightness of a James Taylor or a David Gray. He is an assured performer who should find a ready audience for his intelligent and lyrical output around Europe."
Jackie Hayden - Hotpress Magazine
"A Soulful debut!"
TimeOut Chicago
"If good songwriting confronts listeners with truth about themselves, their emotions, and their world from a fresh point of view, then the songs on Race The Light represent songwriting at its best."
Ken Mowery - Indie-Music.com
"Inspired showmanship... hard-driving songs"
Backstage Magazine
"It's uncommon that a debut album has this much punch and promise all packed into one firm unit. Wait till the Village Voice catches onto his genius, you..ll be forced to buy tickets well in advance of his shows rather than at the door."

"Folkster Christopher Dallman sings with the conviction of an inmate given one last appeal in the form of a song. His percussive, flattop rhythms and soul-bearing lyrics would make Ani DiFranco proud."”
