There's More Where That Came From is the sixth studio album by Lee Ann Womack, released in 2005. It received numerous awards and critical acclaim and was also Womack's highest selling album since 2000's I Hope You Dance. The album was Womack's return to a traditional country music style, producing three charting singles between 2004 and 2006: "I May Hate Myself in the Morning", "He Oughta Know That by Now" and "Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago", which peaked at numbers 10, 22, and 32, respectively, on the Hot Country Songs charts. Womack's ex-husband, Jason Sellers, sang background vocals on "I May Hate Myself in the Morning".
Womack told The Dallas Morning News that MCA Nashville inspired her to record another album and said "I was sitting at home after Something Worth Leaving Behind thinking, 'Gosh, I thought this is what people wanted. And they didn't want it so obviously I don't know.' And they were the ones who came to me and said, 'When are you going to give us a record?' That's when I started thinking, 'Well, if they want a record, I'll make 'em one.'" She also said, "When I started making this record, I said I'm gonna have fun, and that's it. I'm not going to worry about does this sound right coming from a woman, or is this too country, or is this intro too long? I wanted this record to sound like where I came from."
Womack told Billboard, "I thought so much, harder than I've ever worked before on a record on 'Something Worth Leaving Behind,' and it just didn't work. I promised myself with this record I wouldn't think at all. I would just totally follow my heart and not my head." Womack told The Mirror, "These are songs that aren't afraid to tell the truth. It is definitely honest music as far as the lyrics go. They're a slice of life - the good, bad and the ugly."
Rhapsody ranked the album #6 on its "Country’s Best Albums of the Decade" list. "Lee Ann Womack's There's More... is an album steeped in an old-school country tradition: tales of dead-end relationships, cheating and broken hearts abound. The traditional-sounding arrangements -- featuring steel guitar, piano, harmonica and fiddle, -- help color a page from a bygone era, leaning heavily on the sepia-toned '70s for a classic, "old country" sound. Case in point: the stunning "I May Hate Myself in the Morning" sounds like a long-lost country gem from the 1970s and is one of the CD's many highlights. This release is a classic in every sense of the word." CMT ranked it on its "A Dozen Favorite Country Albums of the Decade" list. Engine 145 country music blog list it #2 on the "Top Country Albums of the Decade" list.
