Something Worth Leaving Behind

Something Worth Leaving Behind is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Lee Ann Womack. It was released on August 20, 2002, by MCA Nashville; the UK version was co-released on Island Records. After the huge crossover success of her 2000 song "I Hope You Dance", which became her only number one single on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, Womack decided to pivot to a more crossover-friendly country sound, which was unlike her previous albums that were more in line with traditional country and of which garnered the singer critical acclaim and comparisons to legends like Loretta Lynn. Recording took place in studios around Nashville and Hollywood. It is Womack's first album to not have any songs co-written or written by her. Womack worked with producers Mark Wright, Frank Liddell, Mike McCarthy, and Matt Serletic. Upon its release, Something Worth Leaving Behind received primarily mixed to negative reviews from music critics, with the attempt of a crossover album being negatively noted and the music being criticized for not being up to par with her previous albums.
