Title: Still Good, Just Not On The Same Level
Review: I have to agree (mostly) with Mark H. Dunkelman's review of Ms. Womack's new CD. It's wonderful, it's lushly orchestrated, and Ms. Womack has a voice that was meant to sing country music. But in having only recently discovered Ms. Womack's music, I must say that her first, self-titled album is the most "country" of her three projects. The newest title cut, "I Hope You Dance," brilliantly straddles the fence between commercial potential and emotional depth. But if you really want to hear Lee Ann's Jacksonville, Texas roots, listen to "Never Again, Again" or "The Fool." This latest album should not be missed as part of a collective body of her work, but she certainly has lost a little of what made her so comparable to Dolly Parton and other greats.
Is the review positive or negative?
