Ali Dee

Ali Dee celebrated her record release and made a big decision about her future on the season finale of 'Texas Women' (Thu., 10PM ET on CMT). Her dream is to make it big in country music, but she feels to do that she needs to be in Nashville instead of Dallas.

So she made the bold move to just do it. She packed up her things and headed out onto the road to follow her dreams, which is a bolder move than most people are able to make. Win or lose, she'll be able to say that she absolutely gave it her all.

Even better, she was out the door with the right attitude about what it's going to take. "If everything goes as planned, I'll be hitting the road going to every single little town, big town, wherever I can go to play my music," she said optimistically. "So the work starts now."

Ali Dee is getting ready to record a new EP and has a full schedule of gigs planned. But first, she and the guys need a new drummer. On 'Texas Women' (Thursdays, 10PM on CMT), Dee auditioned a number of applicants to see who best fit her country singer/songwriter style.

Not everyone who showed up seemed to understand what they were auditioning for. One metal-minded drummer liked "screaming vocals," which aren't exactly Dee's forte. Another said he was getting more into hip-hop, which led Dee to ask who was next.
