Summary: Real traditional country music
Comment: 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.

Summary: Pretty good album
Comment: I've only recently become a Lee Ann Womack fan, but this album isn't all that bad. She gained some media popularity with hits from previously released albums, but this one actually has some good tracks. There are less ballads on this album than her other releases, but the album as a whole is mellow and rather soft. If you prefer the softer songs, this album might be worth your dime, but if you prefer the "twangy" country sounds, this one is closer to the modern country sounds. "I May Hate Myself In The Morning" and "Waiting For The Sun To Shine" are good tracks, and "The Last Time" also gets a little catchy after hearing it a few times.

Summary: I've got a new favorite!
Comment: I'm pretty new to Lee Ann Womack - I really hadn't even noticed her much, until her hit "I May Hate Myself In the Morning" came out. What a treasure! I bought this album a few months ago, and find it's one of the ones I tend to play over and over at work. Her voice is reminds me somewhat of Tammy Wynette - and she has her talent for reaching deep inside and grabbing you.
Besides "I May Hate Myself In the Morning", I just love the title hit, and Stubborn (Psalm 151). This one is a real keeper!

Summary: Fans can never be objective
Comment: From an OBJECTIVE reviewer...it's nice background music, but nothing memorable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Miss
Comment: A few decent cuts. Not up to the general hype this got during release. Sound quality a bit bland and dull. For my ears just kind of a so-so effort all around, though generaly more pleasing and even than most of the current pop country stuff coming out these days.

On There's More Where That Came From, multiple Grammy-winner Lee Ann Womack's got the controls of country's Wayback Machine set 30 years in the past. The album cover, a soft-focus portrait of the Texas-born singer along with a list of songs, recalls the days when elegant, emotive vocalists like Tammy Wynette, Lynn Anderson, and Tanya Tucker ruled the charts. Yet the real magic's in the traditional-sounding arrangements, colored by gently weeping steel guitar, piano, harmonica, and fiddle; unhurried tempos; and, of course, Womack's lightly sugared confection of a voice. She explores classic themes like cheating ("There's More Where That Came From") and marital collapse ("Painless"), and draws on her own experience for "Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago." Womack does concede a bit to the present with the dirty guitars and big rhythm of "When You Get to Me." But just a bit, as she proves the enduring appeal of sweet and sad ballads sung from the heart, and bucks the flash that makes so much modern country go pop--and fizzle. --Ted Drozdowski
