Lee Ann Womack (born August 19, 1966 in Jacksonville, Texas, United States) is an American (United States) country music singer and songwriter, who is best-known for her old fashioned-styled country music songs that often discuss subjects such as cheating and lost love. Her 2000 single, "I Hope You Dance" was a major crossover (crossover (music)) music hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Country Chart (Hot Country Songs) and the Top 15 of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her signature song.

Although Lee Ann Womack emerged as a contemporary country artist in 1997 with the release of her first album, her material closely resembled that of Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette, mixing Womacks music with an old fashioned style, as well as contemporary elements, making her different from her counterparts. Her 2000 release I Hope You Dance, however, was an entirely different sound, using pop music elements instead of traditional country, helping to establish Womack as a pop crossover artist. It was not until the release of Theres More Where That Came From in 2005 that Womack returned to recording traditional country music.

Presently, Womack has released a total of six studio albums and two compilations. Four of her studio albums have received a Gold certification or higher by the RIAA, and she has sold over five million albums in the United States. Additionally, she has received five Academy of Country Music Awards, five Country Music Association Awards, and two Grammy Awards.
