Okay no cheating now, without looking it up, tell me one song the Dixie Chicks had on the charts.

[Toto'sDad]

I saw the rather earth shaking news that the Dixie Chicks are no more, they are simply the Chicks. To me, after all this time, I think the " Old Hens" would be a more appropriate name for them. I didn't look it up to see, but I vaguely recall Tobie Keith who really should change his name to Fats McKeith now, and the Dixie Chicks got in some sort of dust up, and it wasn't good for either of them, if nothing else, proving two wrongs don't make a right even if there are four people involved. The question is: Can any of you without looking it up name even one hit by the Dixie Chicks? All I can come up with is: You never even called me by my name, or was that a different group with only one man in it?

Travelin' Soldier...because it's a good song.

Really.

 

[getbent]

wide open spaces is a great song.

Goodbye earl was a good enough song, they made a tv series out of it.

 

[Toadtele]

Wide open spaces. Think that was the first of them. Many of them.

 

[Dismalhead]

Landslide

It's the only reason I know them, being a rocker and all.

Really.

Never heard it.

Really.

Bruce Robison doesn’t write bad songs. And the chicks knocked that one outta the park!


Hits off the top of my head-

Wide Open Spaces
Traveling Soldier
There’s Your Trouble
Tonite The Heartache
Cold Day In July
Cowboy Take Me Away
Ready To Run
Goodbye Earl

that’s just off the top of my head.

They have a KILLER live version of the Maria McKee tune “Am I The Only One Who’s Ever Felt This Way” with David Grissom on electric and Lloyd Maines on steel, throwing down some of the best playing I’ve ever heard from either of them.

Yeah, I’m a big fan. I own every record they’ve put out.

I think I must need to get out more, I never heard the song, and haven't a clue what tv show you're referring to.

Well, coming from you that's a pretty big hardy OKAY. I haven't thought about the Dixie Chicks in probably fifteen years, then I saw where they changed their name, when I tried to think of anything they had in the way of music, I came up with nothing. I guess I just wasn't paying attention.

 

[Toto'sDad]

I don't know if that's a play on words, or just honesty, either way, I'm gonna just step back away from that!

 

[nojazzhere]

I think I must need to get out more, I never heard the song, and haven't a clue what tv show you're referring to.

Maybe referring to My Name Is Earl? Cute little show,,,,,nothing to do with "The Chicks" as far as I know.

 

[Steve 78]

I don't know how it charted but Taking the Long Way Around is the first that came to mind. For what it's worth, I have 3 Dixie Chicks albums, 1 Johnny Cash album and that is about the extent of my country music collection .

 

[Brad Pittiful]

only song i remotely know is about some guy named earl

I'm not familiar with the show. If I ever see it listed I'll watch it just to see what it is about.

Ohhhh no, say it ain't so....The Dixie Chicks are country?

 

[brookdalebill]

Never heard it.

It is a good song!
It was written by Bruce Robison, who also wrote Wrapped for George Strait.
Mr. Robison is married to the equally talented Kelly Willis.
Anyways, the Chicks are great.
Nice gals, too!

 

[Jakedog]

Oh yeah. They’re DAMN sure country. They can do the modern thing, but with more substance than 90% of the other “country” acts. And when they get real about it, they’re as real as it gets. When this came out, there was precious little real country to be found anywhere on the airwaves. Ol’ Ray Price himself could have cut this and had a hit with it. They’re the real deal.
