Lee Ann Womack is sweet aid and comfort to all those who fear for the soul of country music. Since the release of her first album, she has been the center of both fan and industry excitement.
As befits a country music standard-bearer, Lee Ann Womack is modest about her cascade of achievements. "Any and all of the award nominations have been wonderful," she says. "If there's any down side to all of this it would probably be that I don't know if I've had time to prepare myself for being a Female Vocalist Of The Year nominee. I don't just mean the singing part of it. These other girls (Faith Hill, Patty Loveless, Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood) have been performing for a while. And they have the poise and confidence that maybe I don't have yet. I'm thrilled to be in there with them, but sometimes I feel like an ugly duckling."
One reason she sings country music so well is that she relates to it so instinctively. She understands that the most memorable country songs are woven from melancholy and are meant to give voice to those who feel emotionally mangled by life.
Lee Ann Womack sings with heart-piercing purity and a rare appreciation of country music's deepest wellsprings. "I go for songs that really knock me out emotionally," she muses. "I want my songs to move people." Awards include --

has also been busy touring. She has worked with the likes of
"I connect better with a sad song,"
confesses the Texas-born singer. "I always have – even as a
little girl. I never went through any hard times as a child. My parents
provided a very loving atmosphere, and I've never to this day heard them
argue. My dad never left us or went out and got drunk and came home and
messed things up. I never had any of that kind of heartbreak. But he
still loved those songs. I would go into the radio station with him
(where he was a DJ) and listen to all those heartbreakers, and I just
loved them."
