Music : Taking the Long Way

- Loved It!
I knew very little of the Dixie Chicks before ordering this CD.
I recall hearing about the destruction of their CD's by angry "Fans", who didn't like the fact that one of them made a comment they didn't agree with. It seems some people don't really believe in freedom of speech for all Americans.
Anyway, I decided to check out the clips available on Amazon after hearing they had won the Grammy.
I liked what I heard and decided to order the CD.
What a wonderful group!
I only wish I had been listening to them for a long time.
They are an amazingly talented group of women artist!
If you haven't heard their music, I encourage you to check it out.
Rating: - Don't follow the Herd, Follow the Chicks... (2 Disc set)
...The Long Way Around.
Disc 1. (AUDIO)
Welcome back Chicks. We've been waiting for you.
Thanks to you for reminding us what makes America great: Divergent views and the freedom to speak them. What impresses me most about the Chicks is that they have come through a storm; did it together; and still are gracious enough to bless us with their wonderful music. Thanks Chicks.
That said, the opening track "The Long Way Around" is classic up-tempo Chicks, leading listeners to dream of the what-ifs (as if I can honestly pretend that their lyric, "Someday I'm gonna' settle down," still applies to me). The Chicks' statement "No I... I could never follow," says it all.
"Easy Silence," I suspect is a heartfelt thanks to the family, friends, and fans that stood by the Chicks when they discovered that freedom is not free.
"Not Ready to Make Nice," serves as the girl's answer to all those who would have them to be anything less than full, free, participating Americans. And hey, I didn't necessarily agree with Natalie's controversial statements at the time, but I am proud of both her and the Chicks since. It takes guts to speak your mind, take the heat, and above all, stick together when the fun hits the fan. I have always admired the Chicks for being great musicians and having great fun, but now I admire them more for being great friends.
Don't miss out on the soulful "Lullaby," and its "How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough?"
Then give a listen to "I Hope," yet another thought-provoking tune with the Chicks singing a choral backup.
Disc 2. (VIDEO)
On this special video disk Chick fans are treated to a five pack of studio performances featuring:
1) The Long Way Around
2) Easy Silence
3) Voices Inside My Head
4) Truth #2
5) Wide Open Spaces
Next is the provocatively stark video of "The Long Way Around."
Lastly is an in-depth Chicks' video interview including "Taking the Long Way," album producer Rick Rubin. Rubin is known for his eclectic collaborations with such artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run DMC, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash and now the Chicks. Five Grammy nominations for "Taking the Long Way" can't be wrong, can they?
In short: the Dixie Chicks (and Mr. Rubin, thank you very much!) don't know how to fail. They get an A.
Rating: - New Direction
Having been practically forced out of Country Music by the radio stations, the Dixie Chicks take a more mainstream/pop approach in this album. "Not Ready To Make Nice" tells how they feel about the roller coaster that they have been on since "The Incident" (when lead singer, Natalie Maynes said that she was ashamed to be from the same state as George W Bush, as he was about to mislead the US into the disasterous War in Iraq). Lots of raw emotion and worth the price of the album.

- Very good album
The title track is fantastic as is Not Ready To Make nice but overall I preferred Wide Open Spaces and Top of the World
Rating: - A rocking album --the Dixie Chicks Rock!!!!
This is great music and their incredible musical talent speak for themselves. This album is full of pain, anger, redemption, hope and strength. 5 grammy nominations and the 9th best selling album of 2006 even with limited to almost non-existent airplay--nuff said! If you really want to see the incredible depths of their talent and musicianship, catch a live concert! These women are awesome!!!!!
