When You Lie Next to Me (2002) Walk On (2007)

When You Lie Next to Me is the debut studio album by American country music artist Kellie Coffey. It was released on May 7, 2002 by BNA Records. "When You Lie Next to Me," "At the End of the Day" and "Whatever It Takes" were all released as singles. The title track was Coffey's highest charting single, reaching #8 on the Billboard country charts in 2002.^[1] The album is Coffey's only studio album affiliated with a professional record label, as Coffey was dropped^[2] before self-releasing Walk On in 2007, which would be her last studio album to date (besides her EP titled Why I'm Alive).

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five, describing Coffey as "a more approachable Faith Hill— her polished country-pop is every bit as urbane, yet it doesn't feel as glamorous."^[3] Country Standard Time reviewer Jeffrey B. Remz compared her vocals to those of Sara Evans, saying that Coffey's voice was "strong [and] full-bodied" but added that he thought the album lacked a sense of identity.^[4]
