Happy Thanksgiving!

From all of us at LAW Productions, I want to wish you and your family a happy and safe Thanksgiving! Whether you are traveling this year, or doing the hosting (like I am!), enjoy this time and give thanks for all of the blessings that we all have. Have a good one, everyone!

Daughter Of the Desert

Howdy folks!

Long time no talk eh? I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and staying cool. It is hot as can be here in Nashville (we're expecting 2+ weeks of over 90 degree heat with no rain), but now that it is August, the downslide towards my favorite time of the year of fall has begun. It can't get here soon enough!

I just wanted to take a moment and point out a few shows in Nevada that Lee Ann is doing coming up here. First up, there's a show tomorrow in Mesquite, Nevada at the CasaBlanca Casino and Resort. Mesquite is about 90 miles north of Las Vegas so if you are in the area, be sure and pop on by.

Speaking of Las Vegas, LAW will be doing an entire weekend of shows there at the Orleans Casino September 7-9. If you've always wanted to travel to Las Vegas, this would be the perfect time to do so! Ticket information can be found on the main MySpace page or over at LeeAnnWomack.com. And remember, fan club members can go backstage at any of Lee Ann's shows to meet Lee Ann and have a photo taken with her. There's still plenty of time to join the fan club if you are planning on going to any of the Las Vegas shows. Just email me and I'll shoot you the details.

Finally, our thoughts and prayers go out to those in Minnesota affected by the bridge collapse. Our hearts are with you.

Cheerios Helping Hearts

Lee Ann is the spokeswoman for the Cheerios Helping Hearts campaign running through the month of February. LAW is gracing the back of every Cheerios box in the country, with information on woman's heart health and how you can help the cause. Every time you enter the promotion code from any participating box of Cheerios cereal, Cheerios will donate $1 to WomenHeart, supporting women living with heart disease. Next time you are in the grocery store, look for the red dress on the front of Cheerios boxes and help us fight women's heart disease.

Items Of Note

Lee Ann is up in the first round of voting in the Female Video Of the Year category for "Finding My Way Back Home". Click here to vote for Lee Ann in the first round! The final four nominees in each category will be announced Feb. 28.

Endless Highway: The Music of The Band featuring Lee Ann and others as a tribute to The Band was released on Tuesday. Lee Ann tackles one of The Band's most poputlar hits, "The Weight". Joining Lee Ann on the song are Buddy and Julie Miller singing background vocals. The album also features Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Gomez, and Roseanne Cash, among others. Pick up a copy at your local record store today.

Those of you in the San Antonio area can catch Lee Ann at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo on February 16. She'll be performing in the round with Wade Bowen, Stoney LaRue and Randy Rogers. Should be a great show!

Alison

Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back!

Happy new year to everyone! I've been on what a friend of mine dubbed the "Alison Groves Farewell To 2006" tour around the country that saw me spending time in east Texas, Houston, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. But now I'm back in my office ready to rock what should be an awesome 2007!

I think the biggest story of '07 is going to be Lee Ann's new album. The last I heard, the album was slated for an "early '07" release, and I'm hoping that means sometime in February. I know you guys are anxiously awaiting for news, so as soon as I hear, you'll be the first to know.

I should have a few dates to let you guys know about soon too, but while you wait, check out the latest new music from Lee Ann, as she is featured on a tribute record for The Band doing their infamous hit The Weight. You can stream the song, and the rest of the album (be sure to check out the Death Cab For Cutie track, a LAW camp favorite) on the album's website. The album also has a MySpace profile if you'd like to add Lee Ann's version of The Weight to your MySpace profile. I think you'll love the song.

I've got quite a hefty amount of emails to sift though, so that's what I'll be doing this afternoon. Would love to hear from you guys and hear how your holidays were. I'm sure they were good!

All Apologies

I want to send a big round of apologies to all fan club members who have been patiently waiting for new membership packets as well as renewal packets. I have spent the entire month of November working on things for the Texas tour and am just now able to properly sit down and do some fan club things. I plan on spending the rest of the week getting out pacakges (until I run out of autographed photos) as well as doing a holiday newsletter, which I will be doing this afternoon.

I also owe some folks emails which I hope to get to today as well. So much going on, so little of me!

The countdown is on for Christmas! (For those Mac users out there, this is a fun little app to keep you reminded of the impending holiday) Does anyone have any big holiday plans? I am taking my first proper vacation in a year and spending 2 weeks in Houston, Vegas and Los Angeles.

That's all from me for now. If anyone has anything they'd like to include in the newsletter, be sure to send it to me ASAP!
