Free Music Notes for Call Me Crazy (Dig)
Free Music Review: There Certainly Was More Where That Came From!
Hit: 5 Stars
What can I say about an album that is so perfect and flawless?Because that's exactly what this album is.
Call Me Crazy is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed and album of the year There's More Where That Came From.And she just keeps on getting better and better!
There's two things that strike you with these songs,first is Lee Ann's stunning vocals and second is the amazing songwriting.These songs have so much depth and meaning that you will easily get caught up in the emotion of each song.
It begins with the current hit single Last Call,great lyrics to this.Other fantastic ballads are Either Way(about a loveless marriage),Have You Seen That Girl(about losing yourself),to her superb rendition of George Strait's classic The King Of Broken Hearts.
But there's also some uplifting songs too like New Again,I Found It In You and The Story Of My Life,you will easily relate to this one.
It's produced by the legendary Tony Brown with Lee Ann herself writing 4 of the 12 tracks.
Country music has always been about songs that people can relate to in their everyday life and with this gem Lee Ann does that with ease.
You would be crazy not to have this in your cd collection.I simply cannot recommend it enough...
Free Music Review: What Country SHOULD Sound Like!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Lee Ann Womack when she sings traditional country music - a type of music that seems to have been forgotten by her female contemporaries. I know she has many fans due to her very popular, past "pop" songs; yet, "Call Me Crazy" proves that Womack is at her best when she goes back to her roots and sings country.
"Call Me Crazy" opens up with "Last Call", a great song that seems to be underappreciated by country radio (atleast in my area) because it's not a "catchy, insta-pop hit." This song proves that when a great voice sings meaningful lyrics, the results are more powerful and poignant than any Top 40 hit. On the second song, "Either Way", Womack channels a little Tammy Wynette and Patty Loveless while singing one the cd's best songs. And so the cd goes, with Womack delivering hit-after-hit of quality country music that actualy sounds country.
On "Call Me Crazy", Womack reminds us why traditional country music, which seems to be fading fast, will never go out of style. My favorite songs are "Last Call", "Either Way", "I Think I Know", and "Everything But Quits" - which is a WONDERFUL duet with Strait. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this album for all country music fans!!!
Free Music Review: a diamond amongst so much cut glass coming out of Nashville
Hit: 5 Stars
This album came in the mail yesterday and I've listened to it a dozen times already. "Call Me Crazy" is an oasis in what is pretty much the desert of true country music today. But then as a vocalist, Lee Ann is like a diamond amongst so much cut glass. If MCA had the guts it could release half the album's tacks as singles, and if country radio weren't ashamed of, or afraid of, playing country music, this collection would yield an equal number of top ten hits. Tony Bowen has yet to produce a bad record, and there is not a throwaway track on the album. Two stellar selections are "New Again," and "Everythign But Quits," a duet with George Strait. Lee Ann and Geaorge sound so good and natural together, don't you know they would have been as hot as George Jones and Tammy Wynette back in the day. "New Again," co-written by Lee Ann, offers a fresh take on a country music staple: finding true love the second time around. But the songe goes deeper, reflecting on the gift of life's second chances. In the same vein as her signature song, "I Hope You Dance," "New Again" end much too quickly--like all good things in life-- leaving the listener craving one more verse and another refrain from Lee Ann's sweet voice.Free Music Review: Working for the Queen
Hit: 5 Stars
The opening on track on this set moves with compelling sadness full of heartbreak, "I bet you're in a bar 'cause I'm always your last call... (call) me crazy but I think maybe we've had our last call." It's such a strong tune with the images of a guy drinking and making his last call on the phone to a girl to come get him one too many times. It's great stuff! It's followed by another breakup song with Lee Ann's brimming emotions worn & weary, "You can go or you can stay; I won't love you either way." "I Found It In You" is another strong track, but this time Lee Ann is a girl in love, "Everybody needs a reason to believe, something to keep 'em going, to set their soul on fire & make them alive; It's their inspiration." The song that jumped out at me on first spin is the catchy "The Bees" that builds as the arrangement fills, "I work for the queen all day." George Strait duets on the sweet string-drenched "Everything But Quits." The chorus on Jim Lauderdale's "The King of Broken Hearts" soars as strongly as it weeps. Lee Ann Womack has a talent for picking strong songs that she nails with powerful vocal performances. Enjoy!Free Music Review: An Excellent Record Any Year.
Hit: 5 Stars
Lee Ann Womack has a killer voice. The kind of voice that any singer, in any genre, would want to have. It just oozes this bittersweet lovely tone that's just made for ballads. It's as if there is a quiet assuredness to her heartbreak, that's why songs like "Last Call" with its familiar tome of regret and bars, works in her favor, Womack's voice sounds like she's been down that road before and mostly likely headed that same way again.
As a complete album, "Call Me Crazy" verges on being a concept album about breakups/failed relationships, but there are dots of happy, "I Found it In You" is an example. But the true heart of this disc is the ballads, great production, great lyrics, "Either Way," "Solitary Thinkin'," and "If These Walls Could Talk," with it's killer hook "If these walk could Talk ... they'd ,pray" is just simplistic beauty.
There are very few women in country music who are pouring it out with respect to the tradition of just giving pure raw emotion, Lee Ann Womack's disc took a while to get here, but it's a excellent followup to her last disc.
