Dixie Chicks Info
| Taking their name from the Little Feat
classic "Dixie Chicken," the Dixie Chicks greeted the world
in 1998 with their major label debut, WIDE OPEN SPACES, a wild blend
of bluegrass, pop and country. Number one records, sold-out tours,
Grammy nominations and a follow-up record soon followed, establishing
them as major pop-country crossover superstars. The Chicks were the
center of an enormous controversy over a very public criticism they
made in 2003 of President of George W. Bush and his war in Iraq. And
while protests and boycotts abounded, the Chicks returned
triumphantly--sales figures as big as ever--with 2006's TAKE THE LONG
WAY. |
