Music reviews of Some Things I Know
Music Review: LEE ANN'S CRYSTALLINE VOICE BELTS OUT HIT AFTER HIT
Rating: 5 Stars
AFTER HEARING Lee Ann's self titled 1997 debut, I was absolutely hooked on the little lady from Jacksonville, Texas. The incredible clarity of her beautiful voice cuts through the air on track after track of "Some Things I Know."The record begins with one my personal favorite tracks, "Some Things I Know," with Vince Gill's harmonics making it even stronger. The touching ballad is a remake of the original version of the song by James Bonamy, which is easily overshined by Lee Ann's amazing soprano. The first single, biggest hit, and only video from the album, "A Little Past Little Rock" comes next, a love gone wrong ballad with ex hubby Jason Sellers on backup, absolutely worth listening to because of Lee Ann's delivery. The catchy "(Now You See Me) Now You Don't" comes next. A great song. That's followed by the heartbreaking song "I'd Rather Have What He Had," with great backup from Joe Diffie. It's also a cover of an old Conway and Loretta tune.
The next song should bring a tear to any human eye. A daughter talking to her father who was absent in childhood, "The Man Who Made My Mama Cry" is the kind of song we all wish we could write. I wish I could type it all, but to quote a bit of it; Lee Ann plainly states, "To me you're just the man who made my mama cry/Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time/All I know about you/Is how to live without you/I can see I have your eyes/But all you've ever been is the man who made my mama cry." The sixth track became one of Lee Ann's signatures; a song that barely made the record, the sassy "I'll Think Of A Reason Later" says what we all don't have the guts too (It was just one tooth!). The seventh track, and last single, with Buddy and Judy Miller, "Don't Tell Me" is great as well. Another track backed by Gill, "I Keep Forgetting," is another love story gone wrong..but she keeps forgetting that she doesn't need him anymore.
Texas should dance with the next tune, "If You're Ever Down In Dallas" is just great; "If you're ever down in Dallas/Look me up!".
A typical honky-tonk heartbreaker, the clear cut harmonies of "When The Wheels Are Coming Off" touches you deep inside.
The last track deserves its own paragraph. The second straight closing song with religious reference, "The Preacher Won't Have To Lie" should make sense to far too many of us. "The choices you make/The chances you take/They'll follow you all of your life/I'm just tryin to live so when I die/The preacher won't have to lie." I'll let that one speak for itself.
An incredible 5 stars!
Description of Some Things I Know
While much of the material on Womack's sophomore effort treads well within the unspoken boundaries of Nashville romance (broken hearts, unrequited love), there are a few gems that hint of a saucy character behind the sweet voice. "I'll Think of a Reason Later" is a funny, honest portrayal of a woman meeting an old lover's new flame. "The Man Who Made My Mama Cry" is an unflinching dismissal of a prodigal father, and "I'd Rather Have What We Had" mourns for the steamy affair that led to a now-mundane marriage. Supported by a pair of Vince Gill duets, Some Things I Know effectively balances country music convention with honest emotion. --Alexandra RussellCountry CDs
