Dixie Chicks' new album for 'people that want to hear

NASHVILLE, TN Thursday -- Entertainment Weekly reports that The Dixie Chicks are releasing their new album without expectations that country radio will play their music.

The trio reportedly addresses "the incident" (The 2003 UK comments about President Bush), on the song "Not Ready to Make Nice" -- and a tune called "Lubbock or Leave It," addresses radio's boycotting of their music.

"We feel free. We go into this thinking no one's going to play it -- and it's fine. We made it for people who want to hear it," Natalie Maines told EW.

The new album is set for April release.

Lubbock ping, please

[jbenedic2]

And I won't buy that one either...

[Begin]

Hooray, I can't wait to not buy it.

[The KG9 Kid]

Who?

[small voice in the wilderness]

Great! I can hardly wait to not buy it/

[small voice in the wilderness]

Cripes! Great minds and all;)

[steveo]

...and then?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

We made it for people who want to hear it," Natalie Maines told EW.

Famous "last words" spoken often by plenty of one hit wonders on the release of their second forgettable albums. Maines should ask them how well that works out.

[pipecorp]

dixie chicks, who run barter town?....embargo on!

[WestTexasWend]

Lest anyone mistake it for an original thought, "Lubbock or Leave It" was a bumpersticker in the late 60s/early 70s,
IIRC.

[Lexington Green]

Perhaps they should start recording in French... or Arabic.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Made it for "people who want to hear it", eh? Well, just invite your relatives over and that should just about cover it. Of course, there may even be a few of them who are too busy, say, reorganizing their sock drawer to be able to make it.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

They start their tour possibly in June. They won't fool people again like the last time when all of the non refundable tickets were sold out before Maines opened her big yap. Sales will prove how much the left loves them, as they're now the Ditzy Chick's target audience.

[jazusamo]

Well Natalie, if it's fine with you that nobody plays your new album, it's fine by me too. In fact, it'll just tickle me pink.

[NCC-1701]

You'll have to get in line behind me. I'll be doing the same thing. :)

[nascar242005]

heck we should all forgive and forget.....we are long past this...shoots we even have NASCAR's favorite driver 'hawking" CNN now.

we should be adults and move on past this childish stuff...."Sarcasm"

[Hodar]

Yep, I'm a big mean Republican (with Libertarian leanings) who's gonna go out of my way to censure these hags. All I gotta do is rotate the left knob on my truck radio to the OFF position .... or rotate the right knob to a different channel.

[highlander_UW]

They still a group?

[Republicus2001]

The Hicksie Dicks

[beansox]

She has PAX tattood on her fat cankles.. It means peace in ferench. LOL~

[mtbopfuyn]

And here I thought they'd been axed, battered, and fried up for dinner.

[rawcatslyentist]

Aww.... Lubbock wont play my album either..... :(

It's gotta be censorship!!! All radio stations must play every song at all times or it wont be fair!!
/whine cry baby lib rant

Kill A Commie For Mommie
Seven Dead Monkeys Page O Tunes

[beansox]

They were and now they are making an album whinning about it. They have also produced a DVD that highllights their patriotism (sarcasm) for standing up to George W Bush. It will be released along with the album.

[Dashing Dasher]

Who are the Dixie Chicks?

[PaulaB]

I am praying that album sales are so bad the only thing they can book is possibly a rodeo ;P

Can't wait for it to tank!!!

[HolgerDansk]

We made it for people who want to hear it," Natalie Maines told EW.

All two of them.

[carlr]

Or maybe a coffee house in San Francisco.

[Sir_Humphrey]

First off, they are not "banned" from anything. Spare me the martyr crap. I still hear their music on the radio. Their last tour (post the "incident") sold out almost all of their shows.

What's happened IMHO, is that their comments offended their core fan base. Freedom of speech works two ways. They can say whatever they want, but I don't have to buy their product. Their CD sales have dried up and for good reason. That is what is happening.

Musicians should never get involved in politics.

[beansox]

On The Vote For Change Tour, they couldnt sell out the Ford Theatre..it only seats 3000. ROFLMAO!

Llano Estacado/Hub City Ping

[Cyclopean Squid]

I hear that each song has an idee fixe theme played by a tiny solo violin.

[newconhere]

I remember watching the Maines Brothers coming to our HS assembleys. I used to like them. She has a lot of nerve dissing my hometown. I will NEVER play her music.

[newconhere]

I thought it was "Lubbock through my rearview mirror?"

[WestTexasWend]

That was the name/chorus of a Mac Davis song...but there was a bumpersticker that said "Lubbock or Leave It", along with one featuring a flat line with a single-strand barbed-wire fence running above it that read "Ski Lubbock". These days it's "Keep Lubbock Flat" (a counter to "Keep Austin Weird"). Maybe we need "Keep Natalie in Austin" next.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Lubbock or leave it indeed. Another former fan who doesn't buy their cd's anymore.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I am praying that album sales are so bad the only thing they can book is possibly a rodeo ;P

Or a tour opening for "Great White" in Nepal.

[hispanarepublicana]

I much prefer Bob Knight as our most notable celebrity of the 21st Century.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

And he's prettier.

[hispanarepublicana]

And he's prettier.

That's not something you hear every day.

[Nooseman]

Oww, i thought they were the d..k skin chicks! thanks for clearing that up for me.Hope i dont get banned.

[indcons]

Where can I get one of these "Keep Lubbock Flat" bumper stickers? Any ideas?

[indcons]

Thanks for the ping, HR. How are you?

[Chasaway]

[hispanarepublicana]

Doing well. You?

Don't know if he's prettier, but he's certainly thinner than the fat mouthy one.
