Texas
born Lee Ann Womack scores huge with her new CD “There’s
More Where That Came From”.
This CD brings back that traditionalist style of country music
that most artists seems to have forgotten about.
Just listen to the title song and you’re hooked by the
first three strokes from the fiddle bow. The song has
all the elements of a classic old-fashioned country song. The
story of loving, passion, cheating, heartache and
guilty pleasures all in the confines of a three minute and fifty-three
second song.. The theme continues into the
album’s first single “I May Hate Myself In The Morning”.
As
the album unfolds you realize this is a slice out of one woman’s
life. Songs like “One’s a Couple”,
“Twenty-Two Years and Two Husbands Ago”, “Painless”,
“He Ought to Know by Now” deal with the loneliness
of a husband that’s gone and a woman getting older. This
CD is full of lyrical imagery like “Looking in the bathroom
mirror, putting my makeup on / Maybelline can’t hide the
lines of time that’s gone /
I weighed 105 soak and wet / I’d knock ‘em dead
in that sundress / Had it all, just too young to know / That
was twenty years and two husbands ago”, which gives the
listener the reminiscent storytelling of Patsy, Tammy,
Dolly and company. The sometimes lush production by Byron Gallimore
along with Lee Ann’s heartfelt voice
truly gives this album the nostalgic feel of forty years ago.
