My first reaction is that I'm surprised "Finding My Way Back Home" wasn't at least #4, but then I remember a number of people on here disliking this when it was a single, so I guess its exit isn't all that surprising after all. Still, I was hoping it could sneak into the top 5 at least.

Oh, by the way I did get around to listening to Sara's version of "She's Got You" and I agree that vocally there's no match as her vocals carry the weight of the song. That said, as a whole I think Lee Ann's is the better of the two as it has a bit more life to it overall.
Definitely excited to launch Patsy's icon rankdown which I'll be doing right after we wrap up K.T.'s.

"On A Woman's Heart" is just fantastic! I think someguy needs to give this a few more listens because that is one outlier of a ranking

It was a new discovery for me, so maybe I didn't give it enough listens. Sorry if I accidentally tanked it! tbh: I can't even remember how it goes right now

I can't help but be a bit disappointed to see "Finding My Way Back Home" miss the Top 5 because it is easily a favorite of mine from her. There was no hesitation on my part that it'd be my #1.
Also the more I listen to "On A Woman's Heart" the more I love it! Her vocals on it are incredible, so happy I discovered this song when looking up extras for this because it is so good!
I'll work on posting #4 shortly...

Yea I'm right there with you as I'm still feeling a bit of disappointment that it missed the top 5. I've always been perplexed by how polarizing the song is and that it underperformed enough for the entire album to be scrapped.

I honestly never expected "Momma's On A Roll" to be such a strong top 5 contender! I first heard this on the radio locally here in Austin back when it was released and I can still hear it occasionally from time to time. Gotta love Texas radio!! Anyways...this song is a jam of mine and one that I still put on every now and then to this day.

From what I understand, she actually has two whole full albums that were scrapped, as apparently there is an album that "There Is A God" should have been the lead single for.

I actually never knew that Lee Ann first recorded "Better Off" prior to Sara. I had a hunch that because of the familiarity though that it would likely be a top 3 contender. I will say I'm partial to Sara's version as the addition of Vince's vocals really makes it standout.

And with that I think we have what most of us thought would be the top 2 songs all along. I'm going to give the edge to "The Wrong Girl" because I believe it came out ahead of "Mendocino" in her artist rankdown, but I really could see it being either one for the win.

Wow, I'm surprised! I thought that "Mendocino County Line" would have been the runaway winner. "The Wrong Girl" is great too, so I can't complain, but I'm surprised!

"Mendocino County Line" has been a long-time favorite of mine ever since I first heard it back when it was released (btw that entire album from Willie is great!). A random tidbit about the video is that it was filmed in and around the Austin area as well as at Willie's ranch nearby. "The Wrong Girl" was a very close second for me and so I'm not at all surprised to see it come out ahead. I wasn't expecting it to be a runaway winner though as it wasn't even close! I've always been disappointed that this wasn't a bigger hit for her as it just seems she lost a lot of momentum after the Something Worth Leaving Behind era. While that album wasn't necessarily radio friendly, I've long considered it to be quite underrated and maybe they just should've went with some other choices for singles. Anyways, it all worked out in the end as Lee Ann went back to her roots and returned with a stellar album! Thanks for hosting this castleoblivion26 and I'm really looking forward to the album tracks rankdown!

thank you all for participating. I really enjoyed listening to these songs and hope we get a chance to rank some of these songs again because there are some great songs here! Lee Ann is truly an amazing artist who is beyond underrated and always has been.
I'll open the Album Tracks Rankdown sometime during the week!

The expected top 2, but I am pleasantly surprised and pleased to see "The Wrong Girl" take the win, and even do it with a comfortable lead (thought it would be much closer). This is far and away her best song from this list and should've been a huge #1 smash for her imo. What an absolutely PERFECT melody. The steel guitar leading the way in the song is brilliant production work, too.

If you plan to tank the incredible missed smash hit opportunity that is "I Found It In You", please do the right thing and don't participate!
