Redmon & Vale were an American country music duo formed in 1997 by Allison Redmon and Tina Vale, both of whom served as vocalists. They met through a common friend, with whom they initially performed as a trio before deciding to work as a duo instead after the trio split up.

The duo released one self-titled studio album and two singles in 1999 on DreamWorks Records.cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kbfrxqtjld6e~T1 |title=Redmon & Vale biography |accessdate=2008-07-24 |last=Ankeny |first=Jason |work=Allmusic] The album included two singles, both of which charted on the "Billboard" country charts. Jeffrey B. Remz of "Country Standard Time" gave the album a negative review, saying that it "mine [d] the generic, overproduced field of bland pop country."

The latter was also recorded by Carolyn Dawn Johnson (who co-wrote it) on her 2004 album "Dress Rehearsal".
