Lee Ann was born and raised in Jacksonville, Texas, the daughter of a disc jockey. She attended Belmont University, which led to an internship at MCA Records, where she was later signed. She released a self-titled debut in 1997 to critical acclaim. "Some Things I Know" followed in 1998, and then the triple-platinum selling "I Hope You Dance" in 2000.

"Never Again, Again" was the pure country song that introduced us to Lee Ann, while her 2nd single, "The Fool" went all the way to No. 1. "Buckaroo," which peaked at number twenty-eight, showcased the perky/fun side of Lee Ann as the video showed a little boy running around in between shots of her singing. A great sounding duet, "Make Memories With Me," has Mark Chesnutt as the guest vocalist.
2. Some Things I Know - Lee Ann Womack
Lee Ann's second album contained the same traditional music we all heard on her debut, plus some background vocals from Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Jason Sellers, Buddy and Judy Miller and Joe Diffie. Contains the hit single "A Little Past Little Rock," which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Performance in 1999.
