Amazon.com

Texas-born Lee Ann Womack made bold new strides with her landmark third album, 2000's I Hope You Dance. With Something Worth Leaving Behind, she's delivered yet another impeccable, mature, and emotionally powerful song collection that will no doubt resound just as dramatically with listeners. Soulful, inward, aching, and cautiously celebratory by turns, these exquisite songs and masterful performances are anchored by the timely and hauntingly introspective title tune. Among the 12 other gems are a pair of powerfully rendered Julie Miller originals (the wailing, teeth-gnashing "I Need You" and the eerie, medieval-sounding "Orphan Train"), a wistful Bruce Robison-penned confessional called "Blame It on Me" (to which Robison contributes harmonies), and an angry, show-stopping Matraca Berg sendoff called "You Should Have Lied." --Bob Allen

still worth checking out........2005-02-23

i'm kinda torn on how many stars to give this CD.. cause i love/like 7 of the 12 songs(i'm not counting song 13th song since it's just a 2nd verion of the first one.)i give it 3 and a half-almost 4 stars....so i set 4 stars, cause i really like Womack as an artist, i love her voice and most of the songs she has recordered befor this one. i like the sound she tries to build for the cd, and she almost makes it, but i'm not that crazy about all the songs.and thats why im giveing it 3 1/2 almost 4...but this is not one of my fave Womack cds....

i like the first 6 songs, and i knida like songs 7 i need you.. i like the vibe of the song, but then i kinda fall of. her voice sounds really great on this album, she is better then ever in that department, but not all the songs are as good. The lyrics are good on almost every song, but from song 7 and out, some of the melodies are not really down my street. though track 10, surrend is pretty okay, especialy if you listen to it in head phones, but still it's not as good as any of the first 6 songs. And i like the song "closing this memory down", i like the lyrics and her voice on this song... but it's not a 5 star song in and off it self.

even though this si not a flawless album, it's still worth checking out. casue some of the cuts are really amazing and worth a listen. so i would recomend to check it out.

Good crossover album.......2004-05-13

I think this album should have gotten more exposure. The songs are very solid and so is Lee Ann Womack's performance. A few songs aren't my cup of tea because the production and vocal performance is overly dramatic. But this doesn't take away from Lee Ann's talent. Some folks complain that the album ain't country enough, but all music forms need to evolve and diversify in order to stay relevant. I know there was a lot of pressure to create an I Hope You Dance Pt. 2, but I think there is something very classy about this album. Something Worth Leaving Behind at times feel ethereal. I would give it 4 and a half stars if I could.

Something Worth Holding On To!........2004-05-05

LeeAnn's album Something Worth Leaving Behind, is a suprisingly nice follow up to I Hope You Dance. The songs are all heart-felt, and true. LeeAnn is at the top of her game, and only continues to get better and better. This album is one not to miss if your a Womack Fan.

Something worth getting the single of........2004-01-07

I loved the song "Something Worth Leaving Behind" and so I asked for this CD for my birthday. Unfortunately I got it. I only really like one other song on the CD and that is "Forever Everyday". I really wish I had just gotten the single. I was highly disappointed after "I Hope You Dance" which I loved. Maybe her next one will be better.

After the success of I HOPE YOU DANCE, it's no wonder Lee Ann made an album like this. Unfortunately, it only spawned off two singles, one which was a hit, the other forgotten. The album was not well received by fans who remembered Lee Ann as the traditionalist she started out to be. This is a truly auspicious effort though. The album is more polished than anything she's done, leaning towards pop quite a bit. The format works though. The title track is in the same vein as I HOPE YOU DANCE and was the hit of the album. The song is about wanting to be remembered when we're gone. The second single, was "Forever Everyday", a good song in its own right but went literally nowhere. "I Saw Your Light" is a beautiful ballad, although running a little long at over 6 minutes. "When You Gonna Run To Me" reminds me slightly of Dusty Springfield, it's a nice midtempo ballad. "Talk To Me" is a great ballad and should have been edited to fit radio's format. Once again, like on her past albums, Lee Ann covers a few Julie Miller songs. This time she puts her own brand on the uptempo rocker "I Need You", and on the song "Orphan Train" which is the most interesting and unique song among the set here. In my opinion, the best song though is the Matraca Berg written song "You Should've Lied", Lee Ann kills it and it should have been released, it would have been a huge hit I bet. The most country song here is the Patsy Cline like "He'll Be Back". "Surrender" is a nice pop song that's one of my favorites. "Blame It On Me" and "Closing This Memory Down" are both excellent songs. There's really not one bad song here, although I don't care for the alternate version of the title track. This is a good CD if you give it a chance. She's just trying some new stuff and unfortunately this album didn't do much for her, but it's still a great album overall.

Bonus track also available on Willie Nelson album.......2002-09-04

This album is more pop-sounding than anything Lee Ann has done before, but it's still a classy album which is highly entertaing.

The bonus track on this UK edition is Mendocino county line, a stunning duet with Willie Nelson which has already been made available on one of his albums, The Great Divide. For approximately the same price as that quoted for this import, you could buy both the standard version of this CD and The Great Divide.

The remainder of this review is a copy of my review of the main album.

Lee Ann has recorded her most pop-sounding album yet, but it's brilliant. Lee Ann deserves to take most of her old fans with her. She will certainly lose some, but she will gain more than she loses, just as Dolly, Reba and others did when they followed a similar career path.

Perhaps the hightlight for me is Talk to me, a passionate plea to gain a better understanding of each other. When Lee Ann pleads for you to find the words that you feel because understanding is forgiving, it makes you want to do just that, and it's so true.

Two of the most unusual songs here are Forever everyday, which appears to be a song about re-incarnation, and Orphan train, written by Julie Miller, the true meaning of which I've yet to work out properly.

Elsewhere on this album, Lee Ann demonstrates her ability to sing everything from romantic songs to uptempo rockers, and the whole makes for a very satisfying listening experience.

Nobody should buy this expecting it to be like Lee Ann's other albums. Lee Ann clearly wants to be around for a while yet, and will no doubt return to a more traditional sound when the time is right, just as Dolly has already done. In the meantime, enjoy this album for what it is - contemporary pop-country of the highest quality.
