In the run up to the Country to Country festival, Bob's Nashville session guest is Lee Ann Womack.

When Lee Ann Womack was a little girl in Texas, helping her mother clean house on Saturday as they listened to country music on the radio, she already knew what she wanted to do with her life. And not being able to do it right then broke her heart. "I was so sad to have to be so far away from the music business, when I wanted to be right in the middle of it-even when I was a little kid," she recalls. "That played into the way I sang, the kind of music I listened to, the voices I loved and was drawn to-like Tammy Wynette or George Jones."

Lee Ann Womack's eponymous album was released in May of 1997, and shortly after its release, it reached the Top Ten on the country chart. I Hope You Dance followed in mid-2000. Something Worth Leaving Behind appeared in mid-2002, and it was a sure fit for Womack to move into the country mainstream for good. A Season for Romance was released before the year's end, but Womack was itching for the stage. In early 2003, Womack earned a small part on the CBS drama The District. She also earned two Grammy nods: one for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for Something Worth Leaving Behind and Best Vocal Collaboration (Country) for her duet with Willie Nelson on "Mendocino County Line."

She split with MCA Nashville in 2012 and, two years later, she signed with the independent Sugar Hill Records, which released The Way I'm Livin' -- a record produced by her husband, Frank Liddell -- in September 2014.

This session is part of a month long run-up to the 2015 Country to Country Festival where Lee Ann is performing on Saturday March 7th. Future C2C session guests are Jason Aldean, Kip Moore and Luke Bryan.
