Dixie Chicks (formed in 1989) are an infamous American country, bluegrass, folk and Texas swing group who have won a soaring 13 Grammy Awards and sold over 30 million records worldwide, hailing from Dallas, Texas, U.S.
Originally comprised of upright bass player Laura Lynch, guitarist Robin Lynn Macy, and multi-instrumentalist sisters Martie and Emily Erwin, the band is named after the Lowell George song “Dixie Chicken”. Following a series of shows around Texas in which the Dixie Chicks found their form, the group inherited $10,000 from the daughter of Senator John Tower to record their debut album. The result was 1990’s “Thank Heavens for Dale Evans”, which while failing to cause a stir, was followed by the Christmas single “‘Home on the Radar Range”.
Unimpressed with the contemporary direction of the band, Robin Lynn Macy left the group in 1992 following the release of their sophomore album “Little Ol’ Cowgirl”. Laura Lynch subsequently took over lead vocal responsibilities for 1993’s “Shouldn’t a Told You That” after which Dixie Chicks signed with Sony Music Entertainment. “Shouldn’t a Told You That” proved to be Lynch’s final release with the band and was subsequently replaced by Natalie Maines. Bringing with her a broader appeal with blues and rock influences, the band’s major label debut was the single “I Can Love You Better”, which peaked within the U.S. Country Singles Chart’s Top 10. Significantly raising their profile to the national level, Dixie Chicks’ third full-length “Wide Open Spaces” sold over 12 million copies, aided by the singles “Where’s Your Trouble”, “You Were Mine”, and “Wide Open Spaces”.
The record won the band the Horizon Award in 1998 as well as their first Grammy Award for Best Country Album in 1999. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Dixie Chick’s subsequent album “Fly” was released in August 1999, marking the group as one of the most successful country acts in U.S. history. The record spawned a whopping nine singles, notably “Sin Wagon” and “Goodbye Earl”, after which the band became involved in a legal dispute with their label Sony.
The result of the dispute awarded the group their own imprint Open Wide Records, through which they released their sixth studio album “Home” in 2002. Noted for its traditional bluegrass and lighter lyrical topics, the record spawned the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 single “Long Time Gone”. The album secure the band three more Grammy Awards for Best Country Album, Album of the Year and Best County Instrumental Performance (“Lil’ Jack Slade”). Dixie Chicks embarked on the Top of the World Tour in support of the record, the first show of which Maines announced her displeasure at the invasion of Iraq, which led the group to be on the receiving end of a huge backlash.
Despite this, their subsequent 2006 album “Taking the Long Way” once again peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Country Albums Chart. Winning five Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for their single “Not Ready to Make Nice”, the record was a huge success. The supporting tour, the Accidents & Accusations Tour, was directed more towards the Canadian and international markets due to their newfound unpopularity in America’s south; and didn’t even venture in their home-state of Texas. A hiatus ensued following the tour in which members spent time with their families. Dixie Chicks returned in 2010 to appear on the Eagles’ 2010 Summer Tour after which they appeard in the music documentary “Sounds Like a Revolution”.
Mehr erfahrenThe muti-Grammy Award winning trio The Dixie Chicks are country rock legends, and their success both in the US and worldwide is something to be marvelled at, selling out stadiums and achieving diamond-record status for their late-nineties albums 'Wide Open Spaces' and 'Fly'. You may know them best however, from the political anti- Bush controversy that lead singer Natalie Maines sparked at a London concert in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war, stating that she against the war and was 'ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas'. This led to talk-show outcry back home and the Chicks came under a huge conservative backlash, but, over a decade later, are still going strong commercially and won the respect of many fans globally for not being afraid to voice their opinions.
But enough politics, what about the music? If you're a country, bluegrass, or good ol' classic rock fan, the Dixie Chicks give one hell of a good show. At their show several years back at the Royal Albert Hall, London, sisters Martie and Emily Erwin played multiple instruments throughout their set, including fiddle and guitar, and Maines' voice was just as powerful and heartfelt as on record. A real bonus was when legendary, beautiful-voiced singer Emmylou Harris joined the Chicks for 'Godspeed', the song she recorded on their third album. A solidly entertaining night from some of the most talented women in country music today.
This was the first time I got to see the Dixie Chicks and, to be honest, would have preferred a smaller venue but that's the choice.
The MMXVI tour is a BIG show. The band is tight and the Dixie Chicks are in control of the cavernous room from the off. The show's start with blinding lights into Taking The Long Way is a big opener and the pace doesn't let up through the first part of the show which includes top performances of Easy Silence, Favourite Year and Top Of The World and closes with a raucous Goodbye Earl.
After a short break the Chicks return for an acoustic wish set starting with Travelling Soldier, a second time ever Beyonce cover (Daddy Lessons) before the show's highlight - their version of Patty Griffin's Don't Let Me Die In Florida.
After their Bluegrass medley part 3 of the concert began with Ready To Run against a cartoon backdrop of the current crop of US presidential candidates and culminating with a singalong Wide Open Spaces and a banging Sin Wagon.
The Dixie Chicks are called back the bouncing crowd for a poignant and defiant Not Ready To Make Nice and a hopeful Better Way.
Brilliant show despite the venue echo. Anyone wondering about going shouldn't.
The Dixie Chicks are country legends, having won several Grammy Awards for their country tunes. As well as brilliant singers and songwriters, the trio are all talented musicians and this combination makes for a spectacular show, full of diverse talent and wonder. The Dixie Chicks’ success is evident simply by how notorious they are, not only in the country music hub of America, but worldwide. Even in the UK they are well known, evident by how many people turned up to watch the trio perform live. From guitars to fiddles, this trio worked the stage with instruments of increasing ambiguity, wowing the audience with their talent. They performed all their best loved hits, from the famous ‘Ready to Run’ to the much loved ‘Goodbye Earl’. I was so excited when they performed my personal favourite, ‘Travellin’ Soldier’. There is something so quintessentially American and nostalgic about their music that just gets the whole crowd going, proving that country is most certainly not a genre run by men, but that women country singer are every bit as powerful and loved.
Texan trio the Dixie Chicks have proven throughout their career that country music is not a genre owned by men. The female outfit has had phenomenal success in their homeland yet they have also achieved something notoriously difficult for country performers, universal recognition. The Dixie Chicks are a well known name in the UK and following their controversial views on the presidency of George W Bush, they have always been warmly welcomed by the British audiences.
Tonight is no change as fans pack into the venue to hear classic songs along with some tracks from most recent album 'Taking the Long Way'. There are the obvious cheers for 'Ready to Run' and 'Goodbye Earl' yet thanks to the girls charismatic manner and enthusiastic presentation they keep the crowds singing and dancing all evening. The Dixie Chicks have always been known for putting their own magic touch on tracks by other artists and the highlight tonight is their version of the prolific 'Landslide' by Fleetwood Mac, a real spine tingling moment from some of country's most loved women.
The DC were in top form at Hartford show, almost 2 hours of big hits and a mix of their music genres.
It was good to see them strut their progressive politics -- support for Planned Parenthood and for righting the wrongs of mistaken imprisonment.
Our seats were stage left, facing the too-heavily miked bass drum which overpowered fans and hurt sound quality.
The full screen back drop had mostly good video, esp during a moving Easy Silence. Some videos were confusing or distracting.
A good show on a beautiful night but not sure worth the $350 for tix, parking, and 1 beer.
Love the Chicks. JW
Good concert. They played a varied 2 hour set so you got your moneys worth. o2 an awful venue as usual, with the seats for most people being too far away even with screens helping out. If you need the screens you may as well stay home and watch the DVD.
Prices of food and drinks inside the o2 are scandalous. But once you're inside you can't get out again to the other food outlets, so you are a captive audience waiting to be exploited. This the o2 do very effectively.
Good band performance, terrible venue.
Last night I saw the Dixie Chicks for the first time live in concert, and I am extraordinarily happy to say that I went to a sold out concert to see them. I have been a HUGE fan of the girls since they came out, and it was heartbreaking to hear what they had to go through. Through thick and thin they came out stronger then ever and I can't wait to see what they do next. I am beyond happy to have the Dixie Chicks back so I can see them over and over again live
These chicks DEFINITELY still got it. They are hot, Natalie's voice is perfection. They tried out some new material as well as including a tribute to Prince and playing something off of Beyonce's Lemonade. The crowning point was definitely their performance of Ready to Run with the graphics and confetti themed to mock themselves and the political climate.
What an amazing show! First of all, opening act Anderson East - WOW!! New favourite loving it! 2nd, Molson Amphitheatre-outdoor venue with perfect weather, And 3rd, the Dixie Chicks- what a performance! The sound was amazing, they played my favourite song- Sin Wagon, nobody sat throughout the entire show. Thoroughly entertained...what a good time!
It was awesome seeing the ladies again, it's been way too long. An excellent spread of new and old favorites, a couple surprises and, as always, superb musicianship. Plenty of eye candy in the stage show, but it didn't overpower the Chicks as they played through about 2 hours of well mixed and well played favorites with one costume change.
