Q - Why did the Dixie Chicken cross the road?
A - To meet a Tennessee lamb
Epilogue - so they could
walk together down in dixie land
I agree - I thought that they were a pleasant enough modern country group before the fit hit the shan. I especially liked "Traveling Soldier" even though Natalie has that piggy little squeal in her voice that used to turn me off of Linda Rondstadt. Now I avoid them at all costs. Another "shut up and sing" case!
In my view The Chicks harmony is good but not great. Allison and Union Station are an order of magnitude better.
hahahahahahahaa... if you don't regret basically insulting your entire fan base by telling them you are through with country music... then you are dumber than dirt.
I never liked Dixie Chicks music--even before they opened mouth and inserted foot. Never understood why they were popular. /Shrug.
Oh there is no doubt these women are talented.. though the lead singer certainly is undisciplined as all hell...
Oh well, they made their bed... they get to lie in it.
Sony spent more money promoting and making them than any act ever in the history of the label.... and they obviously got and still are WAY too big headed over it.
The were handed a golden opportunity, and they basically flushed it down the toilet...
Yeah, but music culture is fickle and teenagers love music that isnt' worth a crap artistically all the time. It just has to be 'in.' I mean most of the rap songs that come on the radio are awful and didn't take much talent. (And I love rap/hip-hop music). Being popular in the music world today has little to do with talent.
Little Feat!
It's my contention that they zoomed to #1 in CD sales because it is very easy for George Soros et. al. to buy oodles of copies.
But "selling out" concerts is not only much more expensive, but how do you explain all those empty seats at "sold out" venues?
AKUS are wonderful, aren't they? We are huge fans and have followed her for many years. Flawless--that's exactly what their live harmonies are. It's so obvious when they're playing that they are really enjoying themselves. They're looking around at each other and grinning like they're thinking "Can you believe they pay us money to have this much fun?"
Or "uncharted" even. Can't these rich celebs afford a friggin' proofreader?
Actually, it means they're making so little money on this tour they're flying commercial...
Soon enough, their music will be uncharted.
Those chickens are ready for an audition with Tyson Foods....
they should be about ready for the frying pan!
