Lee Ann Womack

Lee Ann Womack earns my respect because she chose feeling over flash, and I Hope You Dance is the proof, a song that comforts strangers decades on. Twenty-three entries on the country charts, a number one crossover, Grammy and multiple CMA wins, all rooted in a Texas voice that sounds like honest dirt and warm air. What draws me in is her restraint, the sense that she sings to move you rather than to impress you. To me she is a reminder that one true song can outlast a hundred clever ones.
