Lee Ann Womack

Share this event:

TIME magazine writes that the Grammy-Winning Lee Ann Womack sings with “the clarity of a soul that realizes loss is a form of purification, a scraping away of false ideals and excess emotional baggage.” For Womack, who’s sung at the Concert for the Nobel Peace Prize, performed for multiple Presidents, done award-wining duets with Willie Nelson and George Strait as well as tastemaker projects for Buddy Miller, Oscar-winner Randall Poster and Rodney Crowell, music is the ultimate form of connection and communication. Raised on classic country records by Ray Price, Nelson and George Jones, she recognizes the power of visceral truth in a song. In a world of faster, harder, louder, Lee Ann Womack wants something far more radical: to be real. Strip it all away, get to the core of life, love and raw emotion.

Artist Bio

Lee Ann Womack new album and debut for ATO Records, ‘The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone,’ is a stunning exploration of the music of East Texas that showcases Lee Ann Womack’s talent for timeless songwriting and cements her status as “one of American roots music’s foremost auteurs” (NPR Music). To mark the occasion, the New York Times has run a career-spanning profile of Lee Ann’s work, in which they called Lee Ann "one of her generation's most acclaimed vocalists," saying the record embodies "the most delicate and desperate extremes of melancholy." Read the full feature here.

 

To accompany the new album, Lee Ann has announced over 30 additional full-band headlining dates. She’ll be accompanied by some of Nashville’s best musicians, with Jonathan Trebing (guitar), Lex Price (bass), Dave Dunseath (drums), Justin Schipper (pedal steel) and Luke Bulla (fiddle) rounding out her touring band.

American Songwriter called ‘The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone’ “a late-breaking short list nominee for 2017’s album of the year,” while LA Times says the album is “one of the most personal albums of her impressive career.”

 

Produced by her husband Frank Liddell (2017 ACM Album of the Year winning producer for Miranda Lambert's 'The Weight of These Wings') and largely recorded at the legendary SugarHill Studios in Houston, TX, 'The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone' features more Lee Ann Womack co-writes than all her previous albums combined, making it her most personal collection to date. The album mixes the country, soul, gospel and blues of her native East Texas, into an audacious, sharp-edged work of art.
