MoreProgressive traditionalist Lee Ann Womack has sung for Presidents, the Concert for the Nobel Prize and Maya Angelou's Celebration of Joy Rising. More importantly, the Grammy-winner built a career seeking songs that slice life wide open to let the pain, the emptiness, the rage and the desire pour out.
A Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year, she's also won the prestigious Album of the Year for There's More Where That Came From, plus a pair of Single of the Years for "I May Hate Myself in the Morning" and "I Hope You Dance." I Hope You Dance sold over 6 million albums; the title track topped multiple charts in multiple formats around the globe.
The East Texan is a duet partner of choice for Willie Nelson, Alan Jackson, Dr. John, Ralph Stanley, Buddy Miller, George Strait, Jim Lauderdale and Willie Nelson. A featured vocalist on Miller's Silver Strings project, Rodney Crowell and Mary Karr's Kin and music supervisor Randall Poster's critically acclaimed Divided & United, Womack's soprano has a purity that rivals Dolly Parton and an ache that suggests Emmylou Harris at her most haunted.
The Country Album of the Year Grammy nominee The Way I'm Livin,' produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Chris Knight, Pistol Annies), is an unvarnished distillation of Womack's clear-eyed take on the real world. Drawing on songs from Julie Miller, Bruce Robison, Hayes Carll, Mindy Smith and Neil Young, USA Today has called it "irresistibly teasing" and The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, "she digs in as if she were making up for lost time."
