In 1996, Dixon produced the original cast recording of "King Mackerel & The Blues Are Running (Songs And Stories Of The Carolina Coast)" which featured Bland Simpson (Red Clay Ramblers) and author/composer Jim Wann. It was another four years before he released "The Invisible Man" (2000), an album about mortality, with songs from viewpoints of people of various ages. "Note Pad #38" in 2001 was an odds-and-ends collection of unreleased material from his solo career. In 2006, Dixon released "The Entire Combustible World in One Small Room," a concept album revolving around rooms in a house. Dixon and wife Marti Jones released the download-only album "Lucky Stars: New Lullabies for Old Souls" in 2008. A departure from their previous sound, this project began as a request from a friend who was putting together an album of lullabies to sell in hospitals to new parents. The album featured six vocal songs and five instrumentals. In 2008, Dixon released "The Nu-Look" with The Jump Rabbits, his bandmates of 20 years: Jamie Hoover of The Spongetones, and Jim Brock. In 2009, a book of Dixon's song lyrics, "Songs 101: the Lyrics of Don Dixon" was published by VanZeno Press. Although Dixon and wife Marti Jones have collaborated on each other's albums for years, in 2011 they released "Living Stereo," their first proper duet album. In 2014, Dixon released "High & Filthy & Borderline," based on the lives of a male and a female assassin. Dixon has been married to the singer/artist Marti Jones since 1988. "Including co-production, engineering, etc."
