All Music
On Lee Ann Womack's self-titled debut album, she moved effortlessly from traditional country balladry to honky tonk to country-pop, but on this second effort, her varied styles have melded into a prosaic Nashville sound for the '90s. To be sure, Womack's voice, an achingly sweet instrument not unlike Dolly Parton's, is still one of the best in country music, but stylistically, there's little here to hold the listener's interest.

My Kind Of Country
The vocals are stellar even on the lesser songs, and Lee Ann shows that her interpretative ability is outstanding. Some of the production is misguided, but overall this is still a fine record. It’s also easy to find cheaply.

Lee Ann Womack burst onto the country music scene in the late 1990s; her classic country sound was a recipe for success: Womack was nominated for Female Vocalist of the year at the 1997 Country Music Association Awards. After releasing her second album, 1998’s Some Things I Know, Womack was recognized with five different awards from as many associations.

Her second album, 1998's Some Things I Know, set the tone for what the pop oriented direction of country music sought to encapsulate in the late 1990s. It brought us "A Little Past Little Rock", "(Now You See Me) Now You Don't" and "I'll Think Of A Reason Later".

One Country
Amidst the Garth Brooks and Shania Twain-helmed pop-country mainstream takeover, Womack came out with her neo-traditionalist style, delicately situating herself as a risk taker and bringing back the old sound into the fold for a younger generation.

Tv Tropes
A native of Jacksonville, Texas, Womack worked as an intern at MCA Records, and then got her break when Ricky Skaggs cut a song of hers. She signed to Decca in 1996 and had modest success with her first two albums, Lee Ann Womack and Some Things I Know. These discs, both produced by Mark Wright, displayed a traditional country influence with ballads such as "The Fool" and "A Little Past Little Rock".
