- THEY SURE CAN SING BUT CAN THEY REALLY PLAY?
This is my first Dixie Chicks purchase. Just wanted to check them out. I've only seen random clips on television. They choose decent tunes to play. Although I'm a little confused as to their purpose. The instruments they play - guitar, fiddle, and banjo - that's Old Time string band instruments; many Old Time Music and bluegrass bands have the exact same instrumentation. However, the Chicks don't play any traditional tunes. They are more of a straight ahead Nashville Pop/Country singing group. Yes, they hold and play their instruments, and I'm sure they're good players, but you can't really tell by this recording - I couldn't hear much of the banjo, and the fiddler is pretty good. I guess the only way to tell is if they ever got bold enough to make a recording with just them playing and singing.
Their tour had an army of additional musicians in support.
They sure can sing, though. The harmonies are unbelievably good.
If you are interested in a really good all female group who are excellent musicians and singers who sing a mix of traditional tunes and original tunes, check out UNCLE EARL. Their newest release is produced by former Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones, who has developed a fascination with traditional American music, even going as far as learning how to play the fiddle. Uncle Earl's latest is titled Waterloo Tennessee and is available right here on Amazon.

- Live and let LIVE
The best gauge to hear a performer or a group is live in concert (or a cd of the concert( Think KISS live or KISS UNPLUGGED are great examples of how good live is). A friend gave me a copy of this Dixie Chicks CD as an early birthday gift, after they won the Grammies.
This 2002 concert is a great showcase for the Chicks. Listening to them on this CD, I feel like I am in the middle of the concert in the best seats in the house.
The production quality is great. The chicks are in fine form and this CD concert is a proof that the grammies wins are no fluke.

Rating: - At the Top
The Dixie Chicks' two CD live set showcases these ladies at their best. Natalie Maines's voice has never sounded so strong, and the instrumentals shine, highlighting the bluegrass slant of their "Home" album. From the chipper, murderous "Goodbye Earl" to the moody "Top of the World," they display a maturity of depth and range. The only drawback--not much of their endearing banter. But that matters much less, in the end. It's their performing that counts, and it's as good as they've ever been.
Rating: - great document
I never bothered with the Chicks until a few weeks ago when I went to see SHUT UP AND SING. I liked them enough to want to hear a full set and was happy to see this fairly priced two disc set. While I'm not blown away by every track, at their best the Chicks are a high energy band with good vocals and great musicianship either from the band or with their own offerings. I can't say I'd run to an arena to hear them live, but if I play this a few more times and continue to enjoy it, I just might.
Rating: - highly recommend.
This is one great live CD with all the hits played during their 2003 tour. If you haven't been to one of their concerts, you don't know what you are missing. As a plus, this one includes their cover of Bob Dylan's Mississippi.
