Lee Ann Womack (born August 19 , 1966 in Jacksonville, Texas ) is a Country Music artist whom may best be known for her 2000 crossover hit, I Hope You Dance .

Her 1997 self-titled debut album brought her onto the country music scene as a herald of a more Neotraditional Country music sound, in a genre that had begun to sound more pop-oriented with the likes of LeAnn Rimes , Faith Hill and Shania Twain topping the charts. The hits from that first album were "Never Again, Again", "The Fool" and "You've Got To Talk To Me."

Her second album, 1998 's ''Some Things I Know'' brought us " A Little Past Little Rock ", "(Now You See Me) Now You Don't", and "I'll Think Of A Reason Later", while her third and possibly most successful album to date, 2000 's ''I Hope You Dance'' featured, along with the award-winning aforementioned title cut (to which Sons Of The Desert supplied the backing vocals) also featured the hits "Why They Call It Falling" and "Does My Ring Burn Your Ringer" as well as covers of the 1980 Rodney Crowell hit "Ashes By Now", and the Don Williams ' 1981 classic, "Lord I Hope This Day Is Good."

Womack's fourth album, ''Something Worth Leaving Behind'', released in 2002 , was seen by many as an attempt by her to cross-over to the very pop-sound that she was the antithesis of five years earlier. The title cut and "Forever Everyday" were the only two singles released. Both went into the top 40 Country chart.

Her most recent album, .

Womack has recorded a few duets that have been released as singles. In 2002, her duet with Willie Nelson , " Mendocino County Line ," became his biggest hit in several years. In 2004, she worked with country band Cross Canadian Ragweed on the track "Sick and Tired." The song had moderate success and received a bit of video airplay.

Womack has two daughters; Aubrie (with ex-husband Jason Sellers) and Anna Lise (with current husband Frank Liddell). Both daughters appeared in the video for "I Hope You Dance."
