'I May Hate Myself in the Morning' is essentially a country booty-call song. It couldn't be more different from 'I Hope You Dance' (which was about her two daughters). But I'm a grown woman, and a lot of women are grappling with these issues. |
[Her seventh and current album,] There's More Where That Came From, ... I May Hate Myself In The Morning. |
[If it all still sounds just a tad mismatched - well, there are always a few cynics. Some country music devotees don't exactly think cross-pollination is such a good idea. New York's too good for country? Ha! More like country's too good for New York.] There are people in this genre who are extremely territorial, ... I can't quite put my finger on who that group is made up of. But it's not the purists. I'm a purist. I'm a die-hard country music person. |
[Ms. Womack also shared an award for musical event of the year, a collaboration with George Strait on] Good News, Bad News. ... Last year I watched the C.M.A.'s on my couch in my pajamas. This year I'm in Alexander McQueen in the front row. |
[Still, Ms. Lambert said she was terrified of the prospect of facing the world's most acid-tongued fashion critics, as did Lee Ann Womack, a 39-year-old veteran of the country music scene.] Don't think that hasn't crossed my mind, ... Both the positive and the negative of bringing our style to New York. |
Again, most of my favorite bands are playing the show so it's going to be good for me. Just like always, I'm going to sit back and have a good time. |
Good News, Bad News, |
I felt like as a listening audience they were a little more receptive and not quite so jaded. They really seem to appreciate having something different. |
I Hope You Dance, |
I knew it was going to be fabulous. It's definitely something I would wear. |
I May Hate Myself in the Morning, |
I remember hearing that song when I was a little girl, and I was so moved by the images it stirred up. I have been a huge fan of hers forever. |
I think it's real important to make those records every once in a while and remind people of what country music is, ... The roots where it came from, where we got what we have. This is sort of a throwback to Dolly, George Jones, Merle Haggard. That's my favorite kind of music. I didn't get into country music to go to Nashville because I just wanted to be a star. I went there because I had such a passion for that kind of music. |
I thought it would be nice if I got one or two. Everything after that was just icing on the cake. |
I wonder what that must feel like, to have written a true classic that's been covered by so many people. |
