Free Music Review: Incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
Never in my life has a song just blown me away the way "I Know Why The River Runs" did. I stood there in Tower and played the song four consecutive times. I wound up purchasing the cd and found much of it the same way. The songs written by Buddy and Julie Miller ("I Know Why The River Runs" and "Does My Ring Burn Your Finger") are the two strongest tracks. As a matter of fact all the tracks that were produced by Frank Liddell are the three strongest ones on the Disc. This cd draws from top songwriters such as her firey version of Rodney Crowell's "Ashes By Now" and her tender version of Bobbie Cryner's "Stronger Than I Am". Not too often I hear a singer and believe every word she says, but this is one of those cases that I did. This is definitely her best album to date (and yes I have her other two.) Sure there are some throwaways but for the most part this cd has her strongest material yet, including the best and most memorable songwriting she's had to date... and that's what stands out the most. Strong Reccomendation to buy...Free Music Review: Enthralling!

Lee Ann Womack has retained her musical integrity in a big way after lackluster sales of her second album, Some Things I Know. Like with her other albums, the songs on I Hope You Dance sound contemporary enough to please the new-country listener, yet she doesn't feel the need to make radio-friendly songs that are just a passing thrill with nothing to really stand out artistically or lyrically. This album expands Lee Ann's horizons even more than before, and ranges from the surprisingly rocky "Ashes By Now" to the bluegrassy "The Healing Kind" and "Lord I Hope This Day Is Good" to the honky tonk fun of "I Think I'm Forgetting Something" to the popish and amazing ballad "I Hope You Dance" and the beautiful traditional ballad "Lonely Too." Another good thing is that like Dolly, Lee Ann sounds unmistakeably country regardless of the style of song. This is one of the best modern country albums that you will find!Free Music Review: Fantastic album

This is a wonderful album. It's very mellow in that the songs are mostly ballads and mid-tempo. It's also a modern country album, but retains a little bit of traditional country. "Ashes By Now" and "Does My Ring Burn Your Finger" are traditional, but not too traditional for me to enjoy. "Does My Ring Burn Your Finger" is the best song on the album and my favorite; the opening guitar work in the beginning is so magnificent that I keep putting that part on repeat, and her drawl expresses the attitude in the song. I love sassy attitude songs. :)
The rest of the songs have enjoyable melodies except for "Lonely Too," which doesn't stand out. "The Healing Kind," "Why They Call It Falling," and "Stronger Than I Am" are especially touching ballads.
This is a very smooth album and it keeps the mellow mood throughout, even on the faster tempo songs. It's a fantastic album.

Lee Ann Womack has created another masterpiece, this is one of the best country albums I've heard in a while. Lets start with the title track, which became a mega hit, a career song for Lee Ann. I Hope You Dance is a song that empowers listeners, enstowing faith into them. Its no wonder it became a hit with its positive, empowering message.The album is a very eclectic mixture of songs, all which are excellent. There is some brutal honesty on this album in songs like The Healing Kind, I Hope You Dance, Stronger Than I Am, I Know Why The River Runs, etc. This is true country music, she hasnt abandoned her roots. She also has some fun on songs like Ashes By Now (the second single), Does My Ring Burn Your Finger, and others. This is a well crafted album and well worth the wait. So give it a try, it has the power to make you think about your life in a positive light.

I became aware of Lee Ann Womack in September when I was in Oregon on vacation. Every time I turned on the radio I heard the title song of this album, I Hope You Dance. When I returned to Chicago, I witnessed Lee Ann receive an award for the song on the Country Music Awards presentation (as well as seeing Charlie Pride getting inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame by Merle Haggard).I bought this album when I returned to Chicago and consider the title song, I Hope You Dance, as well as The Healing Kind, two of the greatest country songs I've heard in the thirty years that I've been listening to country music.
I liked this album so much that I've subsequently purchased two other albums by this performer. She's truly a significant contributor to the art of country music. Keep singing, Lee Ann!
