Lee Ann Womack may have been on your television screen a lot in the last year, but she is still a country girl at heart.

 

The Grammy-winning vocalist has done her fair share of video in the last year, appearing on TV specials with John Legend (CMT’s “Crossroads”), Fairfield Four + the McCrary Sisters, Amos Lee, Buddy Miller, Lucinda Williams (PBS “Rock My Soul”), Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, Sheryle Crow, Allison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Patty Griffin and Mary Chapin Carpenter (The Life + Songs of Emmylou Harris).

Despite the vocalist’s experience on the screen, she prefers to be at home with her guitar and dogs or recording in Nashville than making an appearance on primetime.

“I’m not much on Hollywood,” she says. “I’m a country girl.”

Lee Ann’s latest album was among Esquire’s Top 10 Albums of 2014 in ANY genre and the top two or three in ALL categories Nashville Scene 15th Annual Country Critics Poll.

“The Way I’m Livin’”, which was nominated for Best Country Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards, was the first album Lee Ann and her husband, Frank Liddell, have done together.

“It went off without a hitch. We never argued we never got in an argument at all. It was great,” Lee Ann said of the compilation.

Songs such as “Send It On Down” by Chris Knight, “Don’t Listen To The Wind” by Julie Miller, “All His Saints” by Mindy Smith and “Out on the Weekend” by Neil Young grace the record, which was recorded LIVE with the players tailoring their performances to Lee Ann’s singing. Lee Ann’s live-on-the-floor vocals were key to making the album what it is.

Frank Liddell's goal was to make Lee Ann’s voice “another instrument” on the record.
