Guide Review - Michelle Turley - Dance With Me Tonight

This stunning green eyed beauty hails originally from New Mexico and you might even recognize her face from her modeling days - yes, this gal did some serious high fashion modeling for the likes of Valentino, Armani, and, of course, Versace.

So our big question and I'm sure it's on your mind too, can a New York Model actually sing? Not only does Michelle sing well- she writes too! In fact, she wrote and/or co-wrote nearly every song on the CD and the ones that she didn't have a hand in her brother, CF did. Let me not forget to mention that CJ also produced the album and helped Michelle with the arrangements too. Now that's a boatload of family talent.

Speaking of album production, if you have a good ear, you will be able to tell that the album was not produced in one of the big three - N.Y., L.A., or Nashville, but that fact does not fade down the sound of Michelle's voice nor the great steel guitar and fiddle playing.

Michelle's voice - I stopped dead in my tracks as I listened got to the 5th & 6th tracks, Memory & I Can't Stop Lovin You, they were incredible and so reminiscent of Tammy Wynette that it actually sent chills down my spine. If I had to pick two songs to showcase how beautiful of a voice that Michelle has, these two would be it.

All of the songs, combined, showcase the range of this songbirds voice as well as her talent as a songwriter.
