The Dixie Chicks spent the first half of the '90s toiling away on the independent bluegrass circuit, releasing three albums on small labels, before sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Robison decided to revamp their sound in 1995, adding Natalie Maines as their lead singer and, in the process, moving the group away from bluegrass and toward a major ...
Wide Open Spaces unveiled the new incarnation of the Dixie Chicks, revealing an eclectic, assured group that was simultaneously rootsy and utterly modern, but if that 1998 de facto debut captured the band just leaving the ground, Fly -- perhaps appropriately, given the title -- finds the group in full flight, in full possession of their talents. ...
Delivering a successor to their breakthrough smash Wide Open Spaces was easy -- Fly followed a year afterward, sounding sleek and satisfying. Following that album turned out to be a little more difficult for the Dixie Chicks, not least because they were involved in an ugly battle with their record company over royalties. While they were away, ...
The road leading away from Home, the Dixie Chicks' acclaimed 2002 return to straight-ahead country, proved to be quite rocky for the Texan trio, largely due to anti-George W. Bush and antiwar comments lead singer Natalie Maines made during the long crawl to the 2003 Iraqi War. Maines' words, initially spoken off the cuff in concert but then ...
The CD companion to the America: A Tribute to Heroes telethon, this double-disc set features all of the musical performances aired on the show, including Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' "I Won't Back Down," Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind," and Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Disc one features earnest, rousing performances like ...
The Dixie Chicks were indeed on top of the world when they launched their supporting tour for their chart-topping 2002 album, Home. As the tour rolled on, they stepped into some controversy, as lead singer Natalie Maines claimed during the buildup to the 2003 Iraq War that the trio was ashamed to be from the same state as President George W. Bush, ...

Contemporary country's spinoff of the Totally Hits series, Totally Country gathers 17 of the style's recent hits, including the Dixie Chicks' "Without You," Brooks & Dunn's "Only in America," Billy Gilman's "One Voice," and Travis Tritt's "It's a Great Day to Be Alive." Other standouts include Montgomery Gentry's "She Couldn't Change Me" and ...

Five times a week, in true talk-show fashion, Rosie O'Donnell welcomes onto her television program a dizzying variety of celebrities intent on promoting their wares. The parade includes musical performers, of course, and as often as not O'Donnell jumps in to add her very modest singing talent to those of her guests. Those impromptu duets gave ...
The votes are in! And the merchandising streams on, with this pristine sampler of industry gold medalists from the last Grammy show of the first millennium. This collection feels pop-heavy, even in non-pop categories, which makes sense given the nature of the necessary "listenability factor" of all Grammy contenders, particularly from the last ...
Benefiting the T.J. Martell Foundation (which helps fund the fights against cancer, AIDS, and leukemia), Prime Country Cuts features a prime selection of late-'90s country hits by the likes of Alan Jackson, Clint Black, Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin, Diamond Rio, the Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Mark Chesnutt, Vince Gill, Alabama, Tracy Byrd, and ...
There are too many artists here who are matched up with songs beyond their ability or apparent understanding. Certainly the most glaring example of this is Mary Chapin Carpenter's version of Don Gibson's classic hit "Oh Lonesome Me." Another glaring mismatch is the Collin Raye/Joe Diffie cover of the Billy Joe Shaver rebel rouser "Honky Tonk ...
New Country, Vol. 8 collects 17 popular country singles released in the later half of the '90s. Most of this material leans toward the adult contemporary side of country, especially "Without You" (Dixie Chicks), "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like That" (Toby Keith), "No Fear" (Terri Clark), and "Best of Intentions" (Travis Tritt). Tracks from Jessica ...
To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ...
The Dixie Chicks' first album captures their charm and eclectic tastes in its early, amateurish stages. Ragged in spots, but gloriously enthusiastic throughout. ~ Michael McCall, All Music Guide
The Dixie Chicks' nonstop performance schedule quickly tightened their sound, and their musical ability leapt forward with this disc. From Sam Cooke covers to traditional country, they present themselves as adventurous and confident, which results in a collection that's uneven but still entertaining. One more album, Shouldn't a Told You That, ...
