The Dixie Chicks

Yes...you read that right.

I LOVE the Dixie Chicks.

Ever since my friend Jessi K played Goodbye Earl for me.

She knew I didn't love country, but assured me I would love the song.

And as usual, she was right.

I thought it was hilarious and my love for the Dixie Chicks was born.

I love so many of their songs.

Goodbye Earl

Cowboy Take Me Away
(because it reminds me of Jessi AND it's a good song)

Traveling Soldier
(because it reminds me of my brother AND it's a good song)

Top of the World

Taking the Long Way

I Believe in Love

Easy Silence

Everybody Knows

Bitter End

You Were Mine

And many more...

in fact I don't think there is a Dixie Chicks song that I wouldn't enjoy listening to.

But my one of my favorites is

Not Ready to Make Nice

I love the video

and the live Grammy performance

and I love why they wrote it.

One of my favorite documentaries is Shut Up and Sing.

I would like to have posted both the Grammy performance and the video...
but alas, copyright does not allow me to post a good quality video of their Grammy performance. So click here to see it.
And watch the music video below.

And if you miss the talent of the Dixie Chicks like I do...
check out Courtyard Hounds.

And while you're at it...
check out Dan Wilson
of Semisonic fame
of Hotel Cafe Tour fame
and co-writer of many of the Chick's songs with the Chicks themselves.
