Lee Ann Womack and Van Zant

Country fans get up close and personal with Lee Ann Womack and southern rockers Van Zant. Lee Ann reminisces about the days she walked up and down Music Row, pushing a stroller and handing out her demo tapes. She also describes what it takes to succeed in the music business and the personal drive that led her to accurately predict she would one day open for George Strait. Plus, she discusses her reputation as a perfectionist, her southern accent and her long-delayed honeymoon. Brothers Donnie and Johnny Van Zant bring their rollicking good humor to the set, talking about everything from their worst gig to gold records to popsicles. Other light-hearted moments that emerge are Lee Ann's lifelong goal of becoming the Female Vocalist of the Year and the unpleasant physical reaction that resulted when she finally won, why Donnie once took the stage in Peter Pan's flying rig, and why Johnny is fond of Cher concerts.
