Lee Ann Womack has tried most formulas of country music, with arguably her best music being in her first couple of traditional country albums. Never Again, The Fool, Little Past Little Rock, and many other great songs. More where than Her last CD which did very well, was called "There's more Where that came from",which was very traditional, actually was what I was expecting. Then she had probably her most popular CD in "I Hope You Dance" which was more modern Nashville type country, but that was back in 2000.
So what came out here, we have all familiar Nashville people working with her, Womack co wrote most of the songs. Tony Brown produced the CD. It was mastered by Bob Ludwig of Gateway Mastering which is a bit unusual in that he does usually master rock CDs, but known as one of the industry greats. The players, Brent Mason on Electric guitar and Bryan Sutton on acoustic guitar have played together on many CDs. Paul Franklin's pedal steel seems to be the central instrument. Larry Franklin plays fiddle.
Womack sounds great on the slow ,heartbreak ballad "Last Call" which has a haunting melody and is a great performance. What really sticks out in the music is Lee Ann's pure emotive lyrics. "Either Way" is another slow sad song, but it really works, with some real nice electric guitar by Brent Mason.
What does not fit in my opinion is the tacky cardboard cover with her in a scantily clad showgirl outfit. It has nothing to do with the CD. This is probably the first CD where just about every song is a sad ballad, but alot of country music is like that. At times it seems overproduced with the layers of guitars and vocals as opposed to Patty Loveless's new Disc which is almost like a live recording ,just one track per instrument, not alot of overdubbing. The finished work ,does however give mastering engineer Ludwig plenty of room to work his craft and he takes the music and just gives it incredible tone work, no clipping, just a great recording.
At times in some of the songs , you can hear the musicians breaking out of the Nashville Mold a bit and adding a different almost alternative sense to the mix. The song, "The Bees" is an interesting musical composition.
I guess that my Favorite song is "I Think I Know--" about what killed Keith Whitley, Hank Williams and John Cash. The words just come out in such a vibrant, emotive way, great melody with plenty of great hooks. George Strait joins her in a duet called "Everything But Quits" which almost sounds like a Strait song. Very well done by the pair. Womack ends the album as she does every album with a Spiritual song, this one called "The Story Of My Life", probably ,the most upbeat song on the whole disc. Personally, i think it is a very well done recording with some very good material, but I do not know how well it will do.

Free Music Review: No, Call Me Crazy
Hit: 4 Stars
Handyman was only vaguely familiar with LAW but caught recent Wire Service newspaper review of this album. Reviewer lauded it ,uttering in print the name of Ms Womack in same breath as Tammy Wynette.
In my mind , that is a flattering comparison LAW should take and run with to the bank.
Being a longtime fan of Tammy Wynette I bought a copy of "Call Me Crazy" .
No question, I like everything about Ms Womack's voice and delivery. The album's songs are an excellent batch.
Only wish the backing was a bit more spare and traditional, as opposed to lush and produced.
Put a pedal steel guitarist, fiddler, hot-licks Telecaster-master atleast occasionally up front in the mix and I would have given this album five stars.
LAW is real deal country and I applaud her loudly. If you're a fan of trad-country and don't check out this woman, Handyman will call YOU crazy.

I love when Lee ann Womack sings Country.She has one of best voice in the world.In This Album she sings as she mean it in "If these wall Could Talk" and have the good taste to have George Strait as a duetpartner in "Everything But Quits".If Leann Womack will develop as a songwriter and is little crazy,she can call Bryan Adams because i think he is the one That have seen that girl."Have you seen that girl" is the best song this year 2008 because its simililar to "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? " but feels more fresh and up to date.These songs have a redline and is "crazy cool", but if the other stuff doesnt sound like that it doesnt matter because this is still the third best album this year.Free Music Review: The Latest of Lee Ann lyrics...

Lee Ann Womack's newly released CD "Call Me Crazy", has been well worth the wait. Her first song, "Last Call" which is out now as her first single, is only the beginning of what should be multiple chart toppers. The second song "Either Way", also should be released as a single, as I'm sure many listeners can relate. This CD is worth the cost for Lee Ann's fans and new comers alike.
