This album is so good I want to give it ten stars
Michelle Turley grew up on a ranch, where country music was a big part of her life. Having parents who were musicians it was inevitable that Michelle would one day become a singer/song writer. Originally from Deming in New Mexico, Michelle spent her teenage years in Phoenix. Michelle worked for a time as a fashion model for the Ford Agency in New York, spending her free time writing and recording music. DANCE WITH ME features a whole heap of top musicians who have performed with country singers like Martina McBride and Kenny Chesney. The album opens up with a fast paced song, Caroline, that blends modern and contemporary country together effortlessly. With hints of Pam Tillis and Miranda Lambert this song really gets the album off to a flying start. Hard Times has already been a big radio hit. This is a catchy cheery song and Michelle’s vocals are interesting and refreshing. I Can’t Cry is a lovely slow ballad with a really traditional sound. Fans of old fashioned country will love this excellent song and Michelle’s delicate vocals. Now I Know is another fast paced song with a catchy beat. Memory is a dazzling song, which deserves to be a big hit for Michelle. It is a captivating song with a really traditional feel. I Can’t Help Lovin You again has a really traditional old style country feel about it. I Understand is an upbeat song with a catchy beat. Bus Stop is a slow gentle song with superlative vocals and glorious backing instrumentation. Dance With Me Tonight, the title song, is a slow passion filled number with exquisite, dusky vocals. This song will appeal to modern and old fashioned country fans alike. Daddy is another slow song. I am reminded here of Emmylou Harris. Best Love In The World is another glorious ballad with exceptional vocals. If I Could Be With You, once again shows off Michelle’s pure vocals. Caroline (In Orange Blossoms) gives listeners a musical interlude of the highest quality. No Place Like Home ends the album on a high note. This is another beautiful ballad, which one again allows Michelle to show off her amazing vocals.
