Hear It Here- Lee Ann Womack's "The Bees"

Born in Texas, Lee Ann Womack is best-known for her 2000 Country-Pop crossover hit I Hope You Dance. Womack has had three Gold albums and four Platinum albums since breaking through in 1997 with her debut self-titled album. She has also won two Grammy awards and over five awards from the Country Music Association, as well as having numerous Top 10 and 20 Country hits.

Lee Ann wants you to hear her new album Call Me Crazy before anyone else. Starting this past Monday, she is going to be leaking one track a week off the new album until album release on October 21st. That first single (besides the single Last Call that is at radio stations now) is The Bees. This single is fantastic- a simple upbeat drum gives it a backroom bar feel, it has a great lyrical hook, and Womack's vocals (always her strong suit) are at their normal pinnacle level. Early "tease" releases off albums are the country music label's new effort in creating interest in cd sales. For this buyer, it's worked. Last Call and The Bees have instantly put Call Me Crazy on my shopping list at the end of October.
