Womack released his first solo album, Positively Na-Na, in 1998, followed by another one, Stubborn, two years later. In 2002, he released Circus Town, his third solo album. Womack and his band released an album in 2003 entitled Washington, D.C., which was recorded live in an XM Satellite Radio studio. In 2007, he released There, I Said It!, which became his biggest success. The album's success led to Womack receiving glowing reviews from the national press and offers for international gigs. He followed it with the 2012 album, Now What!, which contained songs about a wide variety of topics, such as family life and the perils of road life.

Womack's songs have been recorded by Jimmy Buffett, Jason Ringenberg, Dan Baird, David Olney, Todd Snider, Kevin Fowler, Scott Kempner, and others.
