Dress Rehearsal is the second studio album by Canadian country music singer-songwriter Carolyn Dawn Johnson, released on May 4, 2004, via Arista Nashville, as her second and final album for the label. Johnson worked with Dann Huff for this album instead of Paul Worley.
It was received less favorably compared to her debut studio album Room with a View (2001), and was less successful commercially, only hitting number nine on the US Top Country Albums chart. Four singles were released from this album, although only two were released to the United States before Johnson left Arista Nashville due to creative differences. "Simple Life" was by far the album's most-successful single, hitting number 13 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. "Die of a Broken Heart" failed to perform well in the United States, but was a huge success on Canadian country radio, hitting number four on the Radio & Records Canada Country chart. "Head Over High Heels" and the title track also cracked the top-15 of the chart.
Dress Rehearsal would be re-released to Europe in 2005 with an alternate track listing featuring songs from both Room With a View and Dress Rehearsal. "Squeezin' the Love Outta You" was initially recorded by Redmon & Vale.
