Dixie Chicks in general

The Dixie Chicks have had more than their fair share of "labels", with 'girlie band' probably being the worst. The fact that they are drop-dead-gorgeous may have helped their careers or then again it may have held them back. As with other Dooyooers, I think the latter is the case with many people, and not just the male population. When they were in the UK promoting ‘Wide Open Spaces’ I expected them to be hugely popular but, apart from the occasional play on MOR /country music radio, there has been little heard about them since. One reason for this, I feel, is that their ‘new’ image, ...  Read the complete review

Shania tried it, I didn't like it ... but the Dixie Chicks have somehow managed to incorporate Country and Pop into a blend that I find bearable .. well more than bearable ... I actually like it! Their first hit in the UK was There's You're Trouble. I LOVE IT!!! Its catchy and groovy and the lyrics actually mean something! OK, so the girls themselves do come across as a little less than intelligent in interviews (in the country music awards one them got pnuemonia mixed up with ammonia!) but its their music we are interested in, not their wit right? So, lets forget that they are dumb blondes and take on board their musical talent. ...  Read the complete review

I started life (well adolescence) as a Metallica fan (from the first album mind) and have progressed through bands such as the Pixies, Green Day and the Smashing Pumpkins (to name only a few). So imagine my surprise to find that I like the Dixie Chicks. It all happened during a recent trip to America. I tend to do quite a bit of driving and so tend to use the radio a lot. When you get out of the towns there is plenty of choice of radio stations so long as you like country. I heard a few of the Chick’s songs in this way and liked them. At first I though “ok, ideal setting for this sort of stuff, it will be alright when I get home, I’ll start ...  Read the complete review

Excellent music, excellent looks, don't you just hate them! Seriously though, we don't see enough of these little ladies in the UK do we? Is it because they are so fabulously good looking that no female will buy hteir album on principle? I know we're not great country music lovers here, but they really bring country into the 21st century. They are hip and cool and I have to say again that I hate them, but that's just the old 'green eyed monster' speaking. They really are fab - just need to see more of them please! ...  Read the complete review
