"I am so sad because Chalee has never really had the chance to get onto radio other than i n TN. She is a great talent, and this album is worth listening to. She sings songs of struggle and triumph, overcoming the odds,a nd just being a woman. This girl has got it! I think this is her best work yet."

Chalee is one of the BEST

"Chalee's latest CD is GREAT. I have been a HUGE fan of hers since her first selftitled CD. She has been on Three labels and had three CDs. She should be BIG, but hasn't had the right promotional team. Songs like "Me & Mexico", "I am LOVE", "Parading in the Rain", "Believe" are all better than most of the songs on the Radio. Buy this CD and her other three. I just hope this isn't the last we hear from her."

"Chalee really started to hit her stride with her last album "This Woman's Heart", which included the fantastic "Go Back" single and I was a bit worried about the "traditionally tricky" third album that has appeared as "Parading In The Rain".Well - I can now rest easy!!From the first track it's clear that Chalee is in fine form both vocally and lyrically. "Easy Lovin' You" has to be amongst the most beautiful and honest country songs I've heard. On the uptempo stuff like the title track and "Me & Mexico", the choruses are catchy and memorable and Chalee sounds like she's loving every minute of singing them. There is a sense of honesty and commitment to the material that is sorely lacking in much of Nashville's current output! The lyrics of a Chalee song often tell a familiar story in a fresh way, not unlike Reba at her best. None of that "I loved him, he left me, ooh ooh ooh" for Chalee. Here you get thought and DEPTH combined with a beautifully rich and powerful voice.With disappointing recent albums from many established female country "stars", it's amazing to me that Chalee and this album isn't a massive hit everywhere!For anyone new to Chalee I say "come join the parade!" - you sure won't regret it."
