Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Lee Ann Womack} scored her {\contemporary country} music critical breakthrough with {^I Hope You Dance} in 2000. Almost universally acclaimed, it showcased the singer's exceptionally wide range. While her platinum-selling self-titled debut made the critics take notice -- as usual in this genre, only underscoring what {\country} music programmers, DJs, and listeners already knew -- and her sophomore issue, {^Some Things I Know}, multiplied her fan base, {^I Hope You Dance} was cited as a "career album," meaning that it wouldn't get much better. The pundits were wrong. {^Something Worth Leaving Behind} cemented {$Womack}'s place in the {\country} music pantheon by pushing her own boundaries as an artist further than ever before. Her seemingly effortless cruise through {\honky tonk}, {\country-pop} {\ballads}, and searing midtempo "message" numbers serves her well on this wildly adventurous collection of songs. Stepping into the producer's chair for the first time -- along with longtime producers {$Mark Wright} and {$Frank Liddell} and newcomers {$Matt Serletic} and {$Mike McCarthy} -- {$Womack} fills the album with some off-center, nearly {\alt-country} cuts by {$Bruce Robison} (the gorgeous {\ballad} {&"Blame It on Me"}) and a pair by the now reclusive {$Julie Miller} (the poignant {&"Orphan Train"} and rollicking funky {\gospel} tune {&"I Need You"}), who also sings backup on the set. Added to this are tracks by mainstream successes {$Monty Powell} ({&"When You Gonna Run to Me"}), {$Gretchen Peters} (the stellar and anthemic {&"I Saw Your Light"}), and {$Brett Beavers} (two versions of the title track) -- who accounted for the singles here. But it isn't just the mix of tunes. It's the performers themselves. Producer and guitar ace {$Kenny Greenberg} handled the arrangements; former {$Joe Ely} and {$John Mellencamp} guitar slinger {$David Grissom} is here and also contributed a tune; another former {$Mellencamp} ace turned {\country} session musician {$Kenny Aronoff} mans the drum kit; and {$Greg Leisz}, master of lap steel, pedal steel, and Dobro (or anything with strings called a guitar) is here as well -- as are many others. {$Womack} nailed it on {^Something Worth Leaving Behind}. It may not have sold quite as well as her previous offerings, but record biz folks were happy just the same, and it achieved an even higher level of acclaim than any of her preceding records, eking out a place in the CD collections of fans of {\rock}, {\pop}, and even {\adult alternative} music in the process. Finally, more than any of her previous recordings, {^Something Worth Leaving Behind} gave her the confidence and authority necessary to record her masterpiece, 2005's {^There's More Where That Came From}. [The U.K. edition offers one bonus track: {&"Mendocino County Line,"} a duet with {$Willie Nelson}.] ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
