2015 Grammy Nominee for Best Country Album - The Way I'm Livin'
Country Royalty if there ever was one, Grammy and CMA Award winning singer and songwriter, Lee Ann Womack, is best known for "I Hope You Dance," “Last Call," “Think of a Reason Later” and “Mendocino County Line" (with Willie Nelson). After spending several years as a professional songwriter, Lee Ann's eponymous album was released in May of 1997. And shortly after its release it reached the Top Ten on the country chart. "I Hope You Dance" followed in mid-2000, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart and the Top 15 of the Billboard Hot 100. It became her signature song. "Something Worth Leaving Behind" appeared in mid-2002, and it was a sure fit for Womack to move into the country mainstream for good. She also earned two Grammy nods: one for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Something Worth Leaving Behind" and Best Vocal Collaboration for her duet with Willie Nelson on "Mendocino County Line."
And now, on a rare tour out with a brand new album, "The Way I'm Livin'," she has already been nominated for another Grammy. Lee Ann made a decision seven years ago to follow her heart. And if people thought she was crazy to walk away from the multi-platinum world of mainstream country to record the songs that moved her, it would seem that Womack’s heart won out. This 9-time Grammy nominee from East Texas just picked up another pair of prestigious Americana Music Awards nominations for "The Way I’m Livin," proving it to be the little record that could. She joins Shakey Graves’ "And The War Came," Lucinda Williams’ "Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone," Sturgill Simpson’s "Metamodern Sounds In Country Music" and former North Carolina Chocolate Drop Rhiannon Giddens’ "Tomorrow Is My Turn" in the Album of the Year category.
In this world of faster, harder & louder, Lee Ann Womack wants something far more radical; to be real, to strip it all away and get to the core of life, love and raw emotion. Written for the jagged shards of life's rugged spots, turned over with some of the best melodies you'll hear, not fancy, big or glossy, these songs take your breath away.
"It just seems like music is most powerful when it hits you right between the eyes," Lee Ann says.
