Lee Ann Womack to Sing National Anthem at Thanksgiving Day Football Game

Thanksgiving is all about turkey, stuffing and counting your blessings, so here's something else you can add to your list of thanks: Lee Ann Womack will be performing the National Anthem at AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 27).

The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles Thanksgiving Day game will be graced with Womack's beautiful voice, and Paul Franklin, a 2014 CMA Musician of the Year nominee, will join her on steel guitar.

"Growing up, Thanksgiving and football were always part of the tradition," Womack says. "When you think of those things that are such a part of Thanksgiving in Texas, but really everywhere, watching that Cowboys game with your family is a big part of the day!"

Franklin, who has worked with some incredible musicians such as Alan Jackson, Vince Gill and Sting, will help make this Anthem performance one to watch and remember.

"Paul brings so much heart to the songs he plays on. When I was asked, I didn’t just want to go and sing, I wanted to really invest this performance of our National Anthem with something that makes us all reconsider what the song is expressing," Womack explains. "If you’ve ever heard ... or really listened to Paul’s musicianship and the emotions he brings out ... I think having him play opens up so many aspects of what Francis Scott Key was celebrating when he wrote that."

Womack recently released her first full-length album in seven years, 'The Way I'm Livin',' and this Thanksgiving Day performance will be, in her opinion, the culmination of so many good things that have happened in 2014.

"When I look at this year, I feel blessed that I was able to make so much music with so many amazing people, to express the songs in my heart and to explore places I might not have otherwise," the songstress says. "My family is healthy ... and we will get to be together during the holidays, so singing the anthem before the Cowboys game really is the cherry on top."
