Lee Ann Womack: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Feb. 26, 2018 | Lyndsey McKenna -- Lee Ann Womack occupies rare terrain in country music. Though massively popular singles led to commercial success and widespread recognition, these days, she's working on the fringes of the genre. Her 2017 record, The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone, evokes the country music of Womack's Texas upbringing as the daughter of a country radio DJ, name-checking Hank Williams and covering George Jones.
At the Tiny Desk, the emotional storytelling and unparalleled vocal ability that anchor the album are all the more immediate. No bystander was impervious to the stormy and soaring "All The Trouble," and the affecting lyrics of "Mama Lost Her Smile" felt even more intimate and unguarded when performed just feet from the audience. "That's just good old country music story songs," she explained.
Steeped in tradition but singular in its expression, Womack's timeless performance tapped into the emotional core of country, and transcended our cluttered office space in the process.
SET LIST
"All the Trouble"
"Mama Lost Her Smile"
"Hollywood"
MUSICIANS
Lee Ann Womack (vocals), Luke Bulla (fiddle and background vocals), Dave Dunseath (drums and background vocals), Jonathan Trebing (guitar), Lex Price (bass)

After watching, I think Lee Ann may be the most underrated country artist of all time

Charmbiscuit, "underrated"? Lol. That's not even the half of it. Watch the video for Lee Ann's "I May Hate Myself In the Morning" and try not to become speechless.

The key is to appreciate our privilege to enjoy her NOW. 💖 IMO, she is a reigning superstar among many who reward their loyal and loving fans. 😘 What would you pay for a casino concert with Ms. Womack? I've never had the chance, so that would be a priority expense.
Lee Ann still sounds Great, and also still a Pretty Lady..💯😁😘
She is pretty in stature and in voice! Gives father and mother credit! Not a cw fan but this hit home😊
Hands down one of the best voices.
Lee Ann has it! AND LUKE! ❤️
WOW... 52 years old and a 5ft1 ball of fire
good ol girl from my hometown. i couldn't be more proud AND inspired it because i am a singer too. i know those east texas roots too and it sure seasoned my life, mind and music. brava, ms womack. so good she makes it looks easy.
I didnt really expect to like this to be honest, but I absolutely do. That's why I love the tiny desk concerts, they so often make me aware of music that I probably would have disregarded otherwise.

Momo, glad to hear it. There is, however, very likely an entire multiverse of country music, alternative country music, Americana, country rock and country folk that's as good as or better than the best popular music - whether rock, R&B, blues, hiphop, folk, bluegrass, American standards - you've ever listened to; and that - God only knows how - has escaped your attention so far in life. If so, you're the worse for your lack of exposure and experience. If I were you, I'd try to use Lee Ann Womack as a departure point and start to make up for the deficit from here on out.
I grew up on 90’s country. Lee Ann & Alan Jackson are my favorite country artists of all time! I hate to be a Debbie downer but Lee Ann really is unappreciated. If These Walls Could Talk is my favorite song of hers.
😮💓💓👍👍👍 you belong in Hollywood 👍❤️❤️❤️cette chanson me fais vraiment voyager.....c'est un must .......
She can create a fantastic Mood for the Listener with a Snap of her Finger. Thats a rare Skill. Because of that I listen to her for over 20 Years. One of a Kind.
This is seriously one of the best albums I've heard in awhile ....Amazing Voice, amazing band..That mix of country and blues gives me goosebumps. Can´t believe this video doesn´t have more views.....

One of the best singing song from her best record!
More! I want MORE! God bless you Lee Ann!

Wow ..she blew the roof tiles of off that !! that is the way to appreciate country music.. thanks for this
her singing is so effortless, just like breathing. So awesome!

She makes ME breathe. Voice and looks, she's all woman, from the toenails up.
her voice is awesome and her band is smooth as hell. love it.
❤ The second song she performed hit me really hard, made me miss my mum.
Such a classy lady, and a true musician
Wow great country blues "Trouble".
Wow, that guy with the blue shirt is playing an old Silvertone. That's cool. I guess I never really pay attention to top 40 country, but it was very nice watching and listening to her and the band. I liked it a lot. Thank you NPR for exposing me to some music I would have never given a chance to.
Lee Ann has an amazing voice She doesn't need that microphone The band is tight and this session is excellent Wow !!!!
She's one of my favorite female singers of all time. Her cover of Chris Knights "Send It On Down" and duet with John Prine on "15 Years Ago" are awesome. I love her!
Beautiful amazing Lee Ann all her Songs I Love 🎶🎶🎶🎶💞💞💞💞💞
Damn she's still amazing!!!
W00H00! Great TDC! I haven't heard Lee Ann in forever and I'm heading to iTunes to buy her album. GREAT SHOW Lee Ann! You don't take pictures of the bad times.
great! thank you for y'alls artistry. lee ann, you write fine songs, heartfelt. what you were wearing really stuck me, you look perfect in those clothes.
She is a legend
Love her as an artist and human.
Precious in many understated ways. Love the look of deep affectionate approval she shows the guitar player at 12:35.
holy shit so many unexpected goose bumps
I'm not a big country fan but she's a great singer. I'd love to hear her sing some straight blues classics.
Really really cool. She's got an amazing voice.
Git it Lee Ann!!!!!
Love Lee Ann, thank you NPR
Like that especially very much. Such a good harmonic band. Greetz from SouthernBavaria - youth of Munich. Jay

She's the best. Love love love Lee Ann. Can't wait for April 20th at Gruene Hall
And of course her wonderfull voice !
Crazy pitch control!
I sang with Lee Ann one time at Cowboys in Greenville, SC. We really sounded good. Wish I could get in touch with her, but don't know how.
Really enjoyed that
Amazing! Going buy her album in a minute! NPR, make a session with the guys from Midland!
I recognise Luke Bulla from when he played with Lyle Lovett in 2012, hell of a musician.
I love this. Absolutely LOVE this

jjj1951 there's a lot more to music than what has been stereotyped. Watch this station more often, it will open up your opinion about all genres of music. Keep an open mind and god bless.

jjj1951, just how uneducated, badly informed, straight-up dumb and musically illiterate are you that you think that's what country music is about? Please don't broadcast and propagate your idiocy. Hatred, by the way, is rooted in sentiments such as yours - not good. Time to reform.

@jjj1951 that's because you don't know country. The stereotype country came from the 90's and it was all downhill from that.

Great kid with heckuva nice pipes!
This was VERY cool!!!
y love this women...hi from argentina
SUCH A SWEET, FLAWLESS!.. VOICE!!..SHE'S AWESOME.
1960 Texas, 90% white. It was different, better, before all the cities, and even rural Texas, were overrun by foreigners, that changed the uniqueness of being a Texan. Now it means nothing, except in the movies and the memories of old people, being a Texan. Listening to her reminded me of the way people were back then, when it was a better place, Ms Jacksonville, Texas.
Lovely!

She's brilliant. I have a whole creative project, abt opioid addiction along Ohio River based on this song - pitching a full 4 season streaming series - "Juliet in Junkieland" - with a Lee Ann character. Question does anyone know where the full acoustic session is of her with her band for this album? It's really good but can't find. Man luv the sound of those old Silvertone guitars..early blues and country all thru them!
What a sweet lady
Really cool, thanks
Great Female Singer!
Yessss!
Bravo
Another Home Run Lee Lee! 💞 But Question….Did Fred Sanford do the decorating in this Studio? 😂😂
great voice ❤ ❤ ❤
I recognized the fiddle player (Luke Bella) from the tiny desk concert of Lyle Lovett.

Yes, he's played with her for several records. I love the look of engagement he shows here. A session player of his pedegree knows when they are participating in work that not only pays the bills, but work that has artistic and lyrical depth.
Delicious Perfection!
NICE!
Whatever you sing, muscles..
super
Who knows what the name of the guitar from Jonathan Trebing? It has such a deep and unforgettable sound
actually very tasteful!
Serendipity!
Can you guys lease feature Daniel Caesar??
I really liked "hollywood" ...
Is this the lady that was mentioned on Never Not Funny?
sounds like something that should be on Sons Of Anarchy
Post the BIG K.R.I.T. one!

CB bin Of course! I instantly thought of sharing the good news with you and other fans, wanting to see them with their own Tiny Desk Concert. It'll be an absolute joy to see it! Ha, I'm on that same life soundtrack boat- listen to them daily/nightly. Actually made a playlist of majority of their songs
