Lee Ann Womack (July 2007)

Lee Ann Womack was born in Jacksonville, Texas in August 1966.

Lee Ann's self-titled debut album was released on MCA Records in 1997 & was a superior set of neo-traditional country music, including the hit singles 'Never again, again', 'The fool' & 'You've got to talk to me'.  The album also included 'Make memories with me', a glorious duet with fellow Texan Mark Chesnutt.

'Some Things I Know', Lee Ann's second album in 1998, was a more pop-orientated release & included the hit songs 'A little past Little Rock', '(Now you see me) Now you don't' & 'I'll think of a reason later', while the 2000 album 'I Hope You Dance' included the award winning title track, 'Why they call it falling' & 'Does my ring burn your finger'.

Lee Ann's fourth album, 'Something Worth Leaving Behind', was released in 2002 & was viewed by many as an attempt by her to cross-over to a more pop-sounding version of country music.

Lee Ann's return to traditional country music came with the release of her acclaimed 'There's More Where That Came From' album in 2005.  Hit singles included 'I may hate myself in the morning'.

In the latter part of 2005, Lee Ann won three awards at the Country Music Awards; Single of the Year for 'I may hate myself in the morning', Album of the Year for 'There's More Where That Came From' & Musical Event of the Year for her duet 'Good news, bad news' with George Strait.

Lee Ann Womack has also recorded a number of duets, including 'Mendocino County Line' (with Willie Nelson) in 2002.

In the summer of 2006, Lee Ann announced plans to release a new album, 'Finding My Way Back Home', in the fall of that year.  However, the album's first single, the title track, barely cracked the Billboard Top 40 country chart in late 2006.

As a consequence, the album's release date was pushed back to 2007 as Lee Ann had found more songs that she wanted to record.

Lee Ann Womack contributed a beautiful harmony vocal to 'Today I started loving you again', a classic Merle Haggard track which graces the new Gene Watson 'In a Perfect World' album - Gene's album was officially released on Shanachie Records on Tuesday 25 September 2007.
