Synopsis

Amazon.com

Lee Ann Womack is a rarity in modern Nashville--an authentic honky-tonk debut album. Producer Mark Wright has refused to bury Womack's small-town, East Texas drawl under the Hollywood soft-rock cloaking that Music Row favors these days. As a result, the young singer's soprano projects an attitude too unsophisticated to hide any emotion. On the first single, "Never Again, Again," you can hear in quivering high notes the dilemma of a woman who keeps breaking her own promise to never take her ex-lover back. Not every song is that sharply focused, and the obligatory boot-scootin' dance numbers and string-smothered ballads dilute the album's impact. But you can hear Womack's potential when she assumes the persona of a hardened waitress explaining the facts of life to an ex-boyfriend in "Montgomery to Memphis." --Geoffrey Himes

CD Reviews

Grounded In Tradition

Chris S. | atlanta, ga United States | 09/01/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"While pop was starting to take over Nashville back in 1997, Lee Ann Womack's self-titled debut ushered her onto the scene as the most traditional-sounding female vocalist the genre had seen since Patty Loveless debuted in the late '80s. In the middle of more pop-slanted vocalists like Reba and Martina, you had 'Never Again, Again' and everyone scratching their heads wondering "How the hell did that get on the radio, and more importantly, who's the singer?" Womack's debut beautifully straddled a fine line between modern('You've Got To Talk To Me') and traditional(the brilliant--and self-penned--'Am I The Only Thing You've Done Wrong'),and her Dolly Parton-meets-Alison Krauss soprano remains a thing of fragile purity even today. This set remains arguably the most significant debut by a female country artist of the last decade."

This CD is a must have for Traditional Country lovers!!!

"This is definetly one of Lee Ann's best Albums. NOT A BAD SONG ANYWHERE ON THIS CD!! If you like good Tradition country music you'll love this CD!! This CD also produced the top ten hits "The Fool" and "You've Got To Talk To Me". Other great songs on this album are "Buckaroo", "Trouble's Here", and "Never Again, Again", or at least those are my favorites!!

This CD is a must have for any country music lover's collection!!"

Womack's Best Work

K. Stuckey | Port Huron, MI USA | 01/25/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is my favorite from Lee Ann Womack. The writing is superb and Lee Ann's vocals are stellar.
"The Fool", the song that really put Lee Ann on the map is on here. The rest of this CD is really full of great songs though, like the upbeat "Buckaroo" about her dream cowboy; the Gospel wonder "Get Up in Jesus' Name"; the Zydeco-flavored "Trouble's Here" and "Never Again, Again", a great mid-tempo shuffle about always taking him back. My personal favorites are "You've Got to Talk to Me", an honest song about how women aren't mind readers and Leslie Satcher's "Man With 18 Wheels", an uptempo romp about her truckin' man.
I Hope You Dance may be her biggest album, but this one showcases her deep country roots best."

Contemporary country with strong traditional flavor

Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 07/14/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"One of the best country debut albums of recent years, Lee Ann has managed to sound contemporary and traditional at the same time. At heart, she would probably like to do a stone country album, but she knows that would kill her career. Lee Ann is much too smart to allow that to happen, so she records music that sounds contemporary without losing her roots, something not everybody can achieve.Never again again was her debut single, but it was her second, The fool, which really set Lee Ann on her way to stardom. There is a nice duet with Mark Chesnutt (Make memories with me), a rousing gospel song (Get up in Jesus name) and the danceable upbeat Buckaroo and Trouble's here. Other great tracks are Do you feel for me, Montgomery to Memphis and A man with 18 wheels. Actually, every track is brilliant.This album didn't make Lee Ann into a megastar (that came via I hope you dance, her third album) but it is an outstanding album in it's own right."

Very nice-sounding cd

Peter Durward Harris | 03/24/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Lee Ann Womack is by far my favorite female singer in country music. While I did not enjoy "Man With 18 Wheels" or "Buckaroo" very much (probably because I'm male), the rest of the songs are excellent examples of good traditional country music. "Am I The Only Thing That You've Done Wrong" and "Never Again, Again" have been two of my all-time favorite songs ever since I first heard them. I respect Lee Ann and her producer very much for not falling into the mainstream that seems to be turning country music into a nauseating spinoff of soft rock. Her ability to convey feelings through music reminds me of the great Hank Williams Sr., and she also tends to avoid those "generic love songs" that seem to dominate country music today."
