Biography
Dalley'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.[1][2][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. After the release of the latter, she was slated to release her self-titled debut album, on which "Love's Got an Attitude" and "I Think You're Beautiful" were not included. The album's second single and her fourth overall, 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 on January 19, 2009, through online musical vendors.[5] This album includes "Let's Try Goodbye" and "Men Don't Change".
