CD Description
Though Lee Ann Womack's voice has always betrayed the influence of 1960s and '70s country music, prior to THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, her albums often concentrated on sophisticated Nashville pop-country. The vintage-style soft-focuscover photo and faux record dust jacket here, however, immediately signal a change of direction. From the opening honky-tonk fiddle notes of the title track, it's clear that this disc is a conscious nod to the spirit of classics by Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn. Throughout the album, Womack's expressive vocals are backed by careening steel guitars and sweet piano licks, which seem to flow straight from the spirit hands of the late Nashville great Floyd Cramer. Though many of these songs deal with contemporary subject matter, they are treated with a gravity that is purely old-fashioned. "I May Hate Myself in the Morning" and "Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago" take stark and honest looks at life's less glamorous moments in an unflinching manner that lesser artists might avoid. "Happiness" is a gritty, archetypal song of the sort favored by Randy Travis, and the tune compares the search for its elusive subject to a never-ending road trip. With its charming retro vibe and strong songs, THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM stands as one of Womack's finest albums.

lee ann womack
what a brill album she reminds me of tammy wynette every track superb

Real traditional country music
Lee Ann's first two albums offered plenty for traditional country music fans to enthuse about, after which she progressively moved away from such music. By the time that Lee Ann recorded her Christmas album (the one that preceded this), Lee Ann seemed to have abandoned country music altogether, her Christmas album being best described as jazz-pop, although as I also like jazz-pop music, I love that album too. This album therefore came as a real surprise to me, but I was very pleased to find that Lee Ann had returned to her roots even though I enjoyed her other music. I was even more surprised to learn that this album helped Lee Ann to win plenty of country music awards. Maybe the music industry had forgotten just how good traditional country music sounds at its best. Although the credits list drums and electric guitars among the instruments, traditional country fans will find plenty of fiddle and steel guitar as well as dobro, mandolin and banjo as they enjoy this album.

All but one of the songs on the main album are originals, the exception being a cover of Waiting for the sun to shine. This was the title track of a Ricky Skaggs album in the eighties, but Reba McEntire is among the other singers who have also recorded it. Among the original songs, many are outstanding including the title track, The last time (no, this is not a Rolling Stones cover), Twenty years and two husbands ago (a great song about remembering the past but moving on), When you get to me (wise advice for somebody who is never satisfied) and Stubborn (about an inability to compromise). But this is an album of universally high quality, so it's unfair really to just pick out some songs.

There are different versions of this album, some including bonus tracks. The British edition is advertised as including I hope you dance (Lee Ann's most successful song even; it even became a minor British pop hit) as a bonus track. The Canadian edition seems to offer a different bonus track, a cover of Just someone I used to know. I really wanted that Canadian edition rather than the British edition based on the respective track listings, but being unemployed and having limited resources, I had to settle for my local version. After the bonus track (I hope you dance) had apparently finished, there was a long pause before the speakers burst into life again. The track that I thought I'd had to without, Just someone I used to know, was on the British edition after all, albeit hidden. And it's as good as any other version of the song I've heard, including the George Jones original (titled A girl I used to know) and the duet version by Porter and Dolly, which was most likely the inspiration for Lee Ann's version.

This album deserves every award it received. Those who ,love traditional country music need to show their enthusiasm by purchasing this album if they haven't already done so. That's the only way in which singers will be allowed more chances to record traditional country music on major labels.
