Neil Haislop, Country Music Reviews, is recognized as one of country radio's leading writers, researchers and producers. Neil Haislop review's Michelle Turley's 'Dance With Me Tonight.' It's unusual for a younger female artist to go for a very traditional country singing style, harking back to the Divas of the '60s and early '70s. But, that's what Michelle Turley has achieved with the release of her new album, Dance With Me Tonight. Michelle has definitely channelled, Kittie, Wanda, Loretta, Tammy,etc., while putting her own stamp of please-don't-leave-me, done-me-wrong, love me tonight, I'll get by passion, on each vocal of the CD. The style is driven home by a band of authentic pickers, bass, drums, and cryin' steel guitar like you haven't heard for a long while. Didn't know what to expect when I got the CD with a pretty brunette staring back at me, but it was refreshing to hear an artist so convincingly take a 180 degree turn away form the increasingly pop-rock sound of mainstream country that prevails today.


Album review: Michelle Turley - Dance With Me Tonight
By Glenda S. Paradee

The new album by Michelle Turley, Dance With Me Tonight, is full of sassy, emotional, songs of losing love, loneliness, forgiveness, breakups, heartaches and finally finding love again! I call it life! These songs from Michelle Turley are true traditional country music. She has a great voice. On the album notes she thanks her brother CF, her children, her husband and her mother Helen. She must have strong family roots and is shows in her music and songs. Go out and get this album and listen to it over and over. I 'm sure it will remind you of something that has happened in your own life. Michelle put into words what we have all felt.
Thanks For The Music Michelle!

“Strong album comes from singer and songwriter Michelle Turley, who’s Dance With Me Tonight CD opens with the sound of a train whistle. Now that’s country…” – Phil Sweetland, “Country Insider” Journalist


“Michelle has a traditional country sound that has soft purr of Dolly Parton, the strength of Tammy Wynette and a dash of Miranda Lambertʹs Texas sound tossed in…All of the songs, combined, showcase the range of this songbird’s voice as well as her talent as a songwriter…her voice is incredible and so reminiscent of Tammy Wynette that it actually sent chills down my spine…[this is] a great breakout album!” Jan Duke / About.com – Nashville
