After flirting with the pop mainstream with hit singles like "I Hope You Dance," Lee Ann Womack came decidedly back to country with 2005's THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, an unapologetic stylistic throwback to the days when Patsy Cline and Kitty Wells ruled the country charts. While CALL ME CRAZY is nearly as traditionalist in its sound, and every bit as strong as a set of songs, it sounds perhaps a little more contemporary--more Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton than Patsy and Kitty--and includes highlights like first single "Last Call" and a pair of duets with Keith Urban and George Strait. CALL ME CRAZY was released as a vinyl LP as well as a digital download and a standard CD: the once retro but now once again hot format is a perfect fit for the album's back-to-basics charms.

Rolling Stone (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[P]roducer Tony Brown adds some soul to the hard-drinking ballad 'Solitary Thinkin'' and builds an ambient groove for 'The Bees,' one of Womack's catchiest tunes ever." Entertainment Weekly (p.70) - "[The album] has Womack in much the same traditionalist mode, sounding like a distaff version of George Jones at his finest." -- Grade: A-
Last Lee Ann CD I will buy Pretty average. This will be the last Lee Ann CD I will evr buy, if this mediocre standard continue. I should have listened to the previews before buying and saved the $12.00.
Sorry Lee Ann Submitted by wrapmarc (Melbourne Australia) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Real Country Music As a Lee Ann fan for years, she just keeps getting better. Her sweet voice mixed with songs about drinking and lost love make for country music I haven't heard since Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. This album really touches your heart.
