Biography
editDalley's first musical performance was at a talent show at her high school. She continued to perform around her hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee.[1][2] After briefly attending East Tennessee State University, she went on to perform at the Dollywood amusement park.[2] In 1994, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee and formed a band called the Gypsy Hillbillies, which toured nationally.[3] She was later signed to a publishing deal at Hamstein Music.[2] One of her songs, "Dream Too Small", was featured in an episode of Dawson's Creek.[1]
Dalley's first single, "Love's Got an Attitude (It Is What It Is)", was released in 2003, peaking at No. 27 on the country charts. It was followed by "I Think You're Beautiful" at No. 43 and her highest-charting single, "Men Don't Change" at No. 23. Her fourth single, the No. 29 "I Would Cry", charted in 2005, and her album was delayed again. Later that same year, Reba McEntire charted the single "My Sister", which Dalley co-wrote with Roxie Dean.[4]
In 2006, Dalley released "Good Kind of Crazy", which spent one week at No. 60 on the charts, and "Let's Try Goodbye", which did not chart either. She left Curb in 2008. She finally released her album It's Time through her label Mad Jack Records, on January 19, 2009, through online musical vendors.[5] The album was produced by Dalley and Jack Sizemore and included re-recordings of her singles "I Think You're Beautiful", "Let's Try Goodbye", and "Men Don't Change".[6]
Dalley released her second album Coming Out of the Pain on her label Mad Jack Records in 2011. It was re-released in 2012 on Rock Ridge Records.
