- Nice CD
There are a few on here I find a bit snoozy but they are more than made up for by the standouts like the title track and of course Not Ready To Make Nice.
As for all you love it or leave it idiots, I am thrilled the you and I live in a country where we are free to express our opinions. And I am sure you don't mean to suggest that only SOME Americans are entitled to that right. Right?

- Chicks Rule!
This is an awesome album, so well written & recorded. Natalie sounds better than even on this record. Martie and Emily are playing better than ever, of that's even possible. The songs are smart and saavy. I love the use of former song titles on "Taking The Long Way" - so clever. "I Hope" is an incredible song and I'm so glad they included it on this cd,it's a good closing song. Great job ladies!!!
Rating: - Preaching to the chior about double standards?
WOW! First of all I have been thinking a lot about the reactionary attacks on the DC's since their minor 'so called' outspoken blunder in London that has decreased their record sales and brought out the DOGS in the US who call themselves Country Music Fans!
First of all these damn hicks wouldn't know what Country Music really is if it hit upside the head! This is the double-standard. I am in my late 30's and over the last 5 years have gone through a process of not liking most country music to being a lover of the genre as I have learned what Country music is.
Country music is CASH, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williiams...the point is that if any of these MEN had said what the Chicks said publicly the reaction would have been non-existent, oh wait these men have said similiar things; some even more critical and damning and it never hurt their careers so why did the DC come under so muich fire? The most simple answer is they are WOMEN! Unfortunately if goes a lot deeper than that or what follows.
Country music is not about war, racism or hatred and has NO ROOTS in music that does either. Some artists and idiot fan followers have allowed the record companies to taint a pure music form since the eighties into something that is often confusing and makes no sense to many people like myself and REAL MUSIC LOVERS. Kind of reminds me of what has (and is happening) to HIP-HOP but for different reasons.
The bottom line is that if you look through the catalogs of the REAL COUNTRY MUSIC GREATS you will find a lot of albums and songs that 'tell the truth' about the real, ugly america. For a real lesson in Country music check out 'Bitter Tears (Ballads of the American Indian)' by Johnny Cash and keep listening to JC and hating the DC's as so many ignorant idiots do.
The Dixie Chicks spoke the truth (excpet that W is from Maine, not Texas but he sure did a lot of damage there as he has to the US) and while "Not Ready to Make Nice" is a great song it is no more ciritical than many other ones that have been written by men in the genre.
Not a great record review (although I recommend it to any REAL COUNTRY FAN, or music fan for that matter) but it brings to mind many questions.
WHO ARE THESE mostly Southern American hicks, Record Companies and other reactionary artists who have attacked them and why did such a mild statement, YES MILD, create such a stir?
There are many reasons but as time has gone on most people who hated on the Chicks realized they were right to call out the President for the fraud he is but as Natalie wrote "time heals all wounds, but I'm still waiting".
America is a racist, sexist, brutal country founded on these foundations and it is also a rich beautiful country full of a great history of struggle in attempts to change this. So why is it that the DC's were nearly ruined? IGNORANCE!
For that matter let's consider why k.d lang was forced of the genre for being a lesbian...
HATE and IGNORANCE solves nothing and even with all the problems in our country we still have the right to speak our mind (most of the time although this is going away and will continue to if we do not resist ignorance, apathy, hate and facism).
KUDOS to the Dixie Chicks for keeping in LINE with the TRUE TRADITIONS of Country Music!
If you like good music buy (or download) all there music as I have, they are great.
If you hate the DC's for their stand get a life and an education; or jump off a cliff (especially those who wrote HATE MAIL)!
KEEP IT UP GIRLS, YOU'RE AWESOME!

Rating: - How many copies of this album have been sold?!?!
This album hasn't left the Amazon Top 100 in a year and a half. That pretty much speaks for itself right there. This album is a strong effort by the Chicks. It's right up there with "Home", but I don't feel it's as strong as "Fly" or "Wide Open Spaces". That certainly doesn't take away from this album. Those 2 afformentioned albums are borderline masterpieces. "Taking The Long Way" isn't quite a masterpiece, but it's a very good album. More polished, more mature, more adult-oriented subject matter and themes. It's part of the evolution, and I'm glad to see the Dixie Chicks survived the backlash the media created. Yes, the media created it. Ask 100 people if they support the Dixie Chicks and what they said, and you'll get 90 "Yes" answers. However, the media portrayed them as poison. You can fool the American public for awhile, but not indefinitely. Rock on, Chicks!
