Washington Post, July 8

Keith should take his cue from Lee Ann Womack, a country star who has recovered from her own compromises with cliches to release one of the best honky-tonk albums of the decade, "There's More Where That Came From." Womack, too, has misused one of the great country voices of our time, but on her new album she rescues a neglected country subgenre, the cheating song, and in mining its veins of guilt and pleasure rescues her own career as well.

Womack is the rare singer who can capture paradox in a four-minute single. She can confess a lingering lust for an ex-husband and at the same time acknowledge that "I May Hate Myself in the Morning." She can describe a husband confessing an affair over the kitchen sink and convey the subtle notion that his apology is too "Painless" to be believed. She can pray for God to "get this cheating off my mind" on the title track, but when she gets that inevitable phone call from her lover, she realizes her conscience is no match for her desire.
