Title: The Next Big Thing
Review: With I Hope You Dance, Lee Ann Womack should firmly claim her place in country music as one of the most talented, and important, artists in the format, male or female. Her first two albums were both absolute gems, both containing the right mix of traditional and modern country, without ever sounding too slick, manufactured, or "pop". I Hope You Dance continues along this path, eliciting great songs from the likes of Julie and Buddy Miller, and Rodney Crowell. The title track is possibly the finest song that she's ever recorded, and is by far the finest record to saturate country radio in a LONG time. With the success of that single, hopefully she can maintain the momentum, and continue her ascent to the top.
