Lee Ann Womack
's eponymous debut showcases a promising
country
vocalist who is more comfortable with
ballads
and
pop
than down-home
honky tonk
. The slick, professional production helps make this self-titled album a pleasant listen, despite the fairly uneven songwriting, and
Womack
certainly has a voice that can make the mediocre sound appealing, which results in a winning debut. ~ Thom Owens
