Do your part to keep REAL COUNTRY MUSIC alive.Buy a CD of Lee Ann Womack,s latest album There,s more where that came from.It has everything in it that a country recording should have.Twin fiddles,piano,steel,two and three part harmony and textbook examples of taste and at least one of the tunes ,I may hate myself in the morning, is getting airplay.Credits for steel are Rusty Danmyer,Paul Franklin, and Robby Turner.

I've heard that she uses a steel on her sessions,but doesn't use one on the road. Is this true?

Smiley,
I've seen her three times on TV since the release of this CD. No steel, no fiddle. Go figger. There was an entire thread on this a month or so back.

| I have Lee Ann's cd and for me its the best real country album I've heard in awhile. "If I'd known it was the last time" is my favorite song on the cd, but the entire cd is Great! Rusty D. played the road with her for quite awhile but now he's with Lee Ann Rimes. Can't imagine her working this album without hiring a steel player. This is one album that I would for sure concider going back out on the road and touring again just to hear Lee Ann sing these songs, and I'm very content with my theater gig here at home. |

The album is steel country! 
I did my part, but my 21 year old daugther has it in her car. |

| Tom - I like Ms. Womack, but if she won't even hire a steel player or fiddle in her band to cover the recordings, why, pray tell, should I support her? Do you have some kind of a vested interest here? |

| Great song, great songs, great singer...then someone makes a career decision to do something other than what made it great...probably not Lee Ann...and she loses a lot of support in a promising career. What a shame...How about "I'm Gonna Hate myself in the morning" without steel...no way it has the same effect. Loses the chemistry... |

How many guitar players are in her road band? And are they acoustic or electric?

Well, I don't think that I'd blame the artist...she probobly has no input into who gets to go. Some of this penny pinching is just plain wrong though. Steve Azure warmed up at a recent Yoakam concert that I saw with my wife...they didn't have a base player! Two guitars and a stand-up drummer (crash, snare, no bass). The "lead" guy comped on guitar until solo time then the "bottom" would drop out. No, it wasn't an attempt at acoustic music, they were trying to do their album cuts. In all fairness, they played well but I really did feel for them...

I know it's been a long time since my road days, but I can't imagine a hit making singer having no say about the touring band. Have things changed that much? Maybe I'm just showing my age, but that just makes no sense at all.
I recently heard Lee Ann in an interview say that she sometimes misses that young girl who sang "Never again, again". I wish she knew how many of us have said the same thing. All that said, it is a very good CD, and the players on the road with her are very good, they're just not the same. |

I'll assume that the guitar players can all play electric or acoustic, rhythm or lead.
With that said, and that amount of people, I would think that somewhere out there she/they could find a guitarist who also doubles on steel, and also a guitarist who doubles on keyboards.
Now that we have all of these facts, it truly does not make sense to me. Maybe they're trying to cut down on the amount of gear that they have to take.

| I went to Wal-Mart and bought the CD as soon as I saw the video, "I'm Gonna Love You Tonight". Only because it had a fine steel part on the video. When I got the CD and listened to the entire song, what Paul done on the end of it really got my attention. I don't mind supporting LeAnn but I've got to see that steel guitar on stage with her regardless of who's playing it. I want Shania Twain's CD with the song that's on CMT now with BJ Cole playing. That's next! |

Quite frankly, I rate her new album only about a 7 for "hard-core countryness" (on a scale of 10). In that respect, it's a big improvement on her other stuff. You want a 10, get Mark Chesnutt's "Savin' the Honky Tonks." That's real country, 100%.
Cheers,

| I saw Lee Ann at the CMA festival in Nashville weekend before last...No steel. In her comments she sounded like she was almost apologizing for her hit "I'm Gonna Hate myself in the morning." And the music sonded nothing like the record..just like about 90% of the other music played. It was not the sound system - Alan Jackson and Dierks Bentley sounded as good as the records. Dierks introduced his whole band (including steel player Gary Morse!!), and interacted with them all throught the whole set. No steel with Craig Morgan, Andy Griffs, Sugarland, Jeff Bates, Blake Shelton, SheDaisy, Trick Pony, Jamie O'Neal, or Sara Evans; and all have hits out with either loads of steel or some steel. Disappointing... |

| My question is, if they're not willing to use a steel live, why bother putting one on their recordings? |
