Lee Womack Music Quotations

There are people in this genre who are extremely territorial. I can't quite put my finger on who that group is made up of. But it's not the purists. I'm a purist. I'm a die-hard country music person.

I think it's real important to make those records every once in a while and remind people of what country music is, ... The roots where it came from, where we got what we have. This is sort of a throwback to Dolly, George Jones, Merle Haggard. That's my favorite kind of music. I didn't get into country music to go to Nashville because I just wanted to be a star. I went there because I had such a passion for that kind of music.

These are songs that aren't afraid to tell the truth. It is honest music, as far as the lyrics go. They're a slice of life -- the good, bad and the ugly. It's the kind of stuff I grew up listening to.

To me it just seems like there's a lot of everything in New York. ... I know that when I've played there, I've always felt like, it isn't that people are necessarily looking for country music as just for good music.

Sometimes I think we are scared of real country music but a message like what was in that song, that transcends any boundaries, and a great song is a great song, ... I May Hate Myself.

If you're listening to music that doesn't touch you, tune into your country station, ... We have songs that speak to your life. We have songs that speak to your heart.

If you are listening to music that doesn't touch you, that doesn't mean anything to you, tune into your country music station,

I'm going to be doing a song that I wrote from my new album. It's called, 'Twenty Years And Two Husbands Ago,' ... Those are my favorite kind of songs. I think that's what sets country music apart from a lot of other genres. It's stuff about real life.
