by Maria Konicki DinoiaAfter a platinum-selling self-titled debut and a gold follow-up with Some Things I Know, Lee Ann Womack just keeps getting better. Billboard calls it a career record. I Hope You Dance is one of the finest albums to hit country music post Shania Twain. Womack possesses such a sweet, melodious voice and its distinctiveness graces every one of the 12 tracks like they were chosen just for her vocals. But it's the album's title track, a dedication to Womack's daughters (and featuring the Sons of the Desert) that will leave you feeling swept away. (Her daughters, Aubrie and Anna Lise, who were ages 9 and 1 [respectively] at the time, appear in the video with her.) Don't let some hardened heart leave you bitter\u002FWhen you come close to selling out, reconsider\u002FGive the heavens above more than a passing glance\u002FAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance. Listeners will undoubtedly dance to I Hope You Dance.
