Music reviews of I Hope You Dance
Music Review: I Hope You Dance
Rating: 5 Stars
Up front I will tell you I have never been a fan of Country and Western, but a handful of singers like Lee Ann Womack have won me over occasionally with songs like "I Hope You Dance". The music transends any prejuduice one may have about a particular style of music. I realize there is what many call a crossover of some C&W with Pop but I didn't feel that was the case here. You will clearly hear the bands instrumental "twang" and the inflection in her voice that is distinctly C&W, but it does not detract from the music, quite the contrary. The message is one we can all appreciate. Inspirational with a great melody make this one to add to your Eclectic collection.

Description of I Hope You Dance
CMA winning album from the country music stars 2001 album. Includes the bonus track 'I Hope You Dance' (Brian Rawlings Mix). Billboard calls it 'the finest country album post Shania Twain'.Lee Ann Womack may well have the most hard-country female voice in Nashville; while her first two albums showed much promise, they didn't boost her past the middle of the pack. So what's the Nashville solution? Instead of playing to her strengths, make her soprano sound smaller and more compact (think Dolly, not Tammy), de-twang it so she sounds more creamy and dreamy. In other words, try to make her sound more like everyone else. Most of these songs are slow or midtempo, building ever so predictably, and with arrangements paying little more than lip service to roots. Womack sounds better with less accompaniment ("I Know Why the River Runs," "Thinkin' with My Heart Again") and best when her drawl prevails ("Does My Ring Burn Your Finger"). And she sounds unbeatable when she's totally involved, as on the best song, "I Feel Like I'm Forgetting Something." And who cowrote that? Why, Lee Ann did. It's the only such song here, but somebody should take a hint. --John Morthland
