Lee Ann Womack to Premiere First New Music in Four Years

"I've been living with this music now for months, and I'm dying to let the fans hear some," confesses Womack, who has recorded with George Strait, Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell and Buddy Miller. "It's funny. Frank and I just never seemed to really get around to working together, beyond those few tracks on I Hope You Dance… and we both love music so much in so many ways, we really challenged each other in the best way."

When asked about working with her husband -- also the producer of Miranda Lambert and Kellie Pickler, among others, Womack said, "He knows my voice. He understands the things I love. He knows where I want to go in ways I can't even say. And when we got started -- from having Randy Scruggs help me work up the songs on acoustic guitar -- it was just a whole different process, that just kept building. We've got real country songs; we've got some Texas songs, a bit of gospel, some surprises. I'm fired up -- and I think the fans will be, too."

The singer, who celebrates fifteen years as a industry favorite this year said, "It's hard when you wanna get it right," she muses. "Because there are so many choices you can make… and there are a lot of good ones you make. But the right ones? Well, that's tricky. I think we've got it! I am so excited about the music… It's hard not playing it out, but I also want people to have a chance to experience all these songs as a whole."

Womack has quite the reputation to live up to. Songs like "Never Again, Again" and "Ashes By Now" have made her a critical and commercial favorite, and her 2005 top ten hit "I May Hate Myself In The Morning" won the CMA's Single of the Year.
