Lee Ann Womack Way I'm Livin' (incl. free album download)

With“The Way I'm Livin'”, Lee Ann Womack returned in 2014 with an album deeply rooted in authentic country, Americana and roots music. Released by the respectedSugar Hill Recordslabel, the album presents one of the finest examples of Womack's earthy, expressive vocal style and her ability to bring emotional depth to carefully selected songs.

The album was produced byFrank Liddell, Glenn Worf and Chuck Ainlay. Rather than relying on polished country-pop production, the record focuses on intimate arrangements, strong songwriting and Womack's distinctive voice. The result combines traditional country with Americana, roots music and subtle Southern-soul influences.

The choice of material is one of the album's highlights. Womack interprets songs written byHayes Carll, Bruce Robison, Julie Miller and Mindy Smith, while“Out on the Weekend”brings a Neil Young classic into her own country-rooted world. “Tomorrow Night in Baltimore”, written by Kenny Price, had previously been recorded by Roger Miller.

Featuring13 tracks,The Way I'm Livin'moves effortlessly between intimate ballads, traditional country textures and earthy Americana. For vinyl collectors and anyone drawn to authentic American roots music, this Sugar Hill release is an appealing chapter in Lee Ann Womack's acclaimed career.
