Lee Ann Womack is a throwback to the olds days of country music. And guess what? She isn't going to apologize for it either. She is traditional, and she likes it that way. It doesn't hurt that Lee Ann is a looker too, that can keep even the harshest country music critic glued to the television.

Awards held its first shindig in New York on November 15th, with its country twang intact, as Madison Square Garden was transformed into the Grand Ole Opry with rootsy performances from Lee Ann Womack, Gretchen Wilson, Sara Evans and Rascal Flatts. The Country Music Association (CMA) was founded in 1958 in Nashville, Tennessee. It originally consisted of only 233 members and was the first trade organization formed to promote a music genre. The objectives of the organization are to guide and enhance the development of Country Music throughout the world; to demonstrate it as a viable medium to advertisers, consumers and media; and to provide a unity of purpose for the Country Music industry.

Unlike many Nashville country music superstars, Lee Ann Womack writes her own songs. In fact, she was a successful songwriter long before she became a chart-crossing twang diva. Womack's mellifluous, characteristic voice sounds so seasoned and finessed, she makes Shania Twain look like a Dallas Cowboy's cheerleader.
