New music from the unapologetic Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks, comprised of lead singer Natalie Maines and sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer, are one of the biggest female music acts of all time, with tens of millions of records sold, and 13 Grammy Awards. They talk with correspondent Tracy Smith about the Iraq War controversy that led to boycotts and blacklists of their music over comments made about President George W. Bush, and how failed relationships became a source of inspiration for their upcoming album, "Gaslighter," their first studio album together since 2006's Grammy-winning smash "Taking the Long Way."

It’s what Trump said throughout his whole campaign in 2016! You have to believe that many of the people that vilified the Chicks voted for the guy saying the same thing about the Iraq war. And I’m not calling them hypocrites, it’s just that with the passage of time, we all came around to the Chicks opinion of the war and the lies that got us into it.

I was 5 years old in 2001 when I first heard their Fly album that was printed as a blue CD and I lost the CD and I heard a song of their's on the radio when I was a little older and spent almost 15 years trying to find a girl band that had that blue CD. When I finally found them and I replayed their songs like there was no tomorrow and memories flooded of my little chubby self singing their lyrics by heart and dancing. I didn't understand why they weren't popular or "famous" until I saw the headlines about Bush. They have so much talent and I'm so sad that they weren't able to showcase it until now. I LOVE Y'ALL.

Love you LADIES! And you guys are true ladies in every since of the that beautiful word!

Well at least one good thing is happening in the world right now... thank you ladies. 💜

The great economy, cleaner air and peace and a President who supports the military really has you upset? Have a drink and relax.

I'm looking forward to their new stuff, I've always been a big fan of the Dixie Chick!

[@jodiemcginnishester3484]

They had the courage to say what a LOT of people were thinking! That includes myself! I’m SO PROUD of these young women.

[@dabprod]

Guess what honey. They're not young.

[@astmancls1971]

Always loved them! They are absolutely fantastic and even better on stage! I agree that it was a blessing what they went through..just look at the results! Not ready to make nice is one of the best songs ever! They are so talented and Natalie’s voice just keeps getting better and better!

[@jerichoduka8088]

can't wait for their new album!

[@Chaninification]

I am SUPER HAPPY to see and hear them again. What happened back then and WHY was outrageously ridiculous and a prime example of how so many people in power are way too corrupt to have control of anything whatsoever! Welcome back, ladies! You, without any doubt, were treated unfairly and railroaded. #DixieChicksLOVE!

[@monicacanney]

So happy you guys are back. Just fabulous. Always loved you guys and your attitude 🙏

Talented. Always have been. Doesn’t mean I agree with their political views.and I wouldn’t disrespect them on the street or on this platform

[@sharonslay1913]

They never did anything to be apologizing for.

[@erikpeterson25]

yes

[@AllAboutAmiyah]

Exactly! #FreedomOfSpeech if anything the world owes them an apology

[@garrett21]

They went to a foreign country and bashed the president who was actually popular at the time. Not a good idea then at that moment

[@AllAboutAmiyah]

I don’t care who’s running the country. If I don’t like the way the president makes me feel; it’s my choice to say something. That’s not a reflection of the rest of the USA.

[@CalicoCooperFan]

@@AllAboutAmiyah Yep, but there can be consequences for expressing your opinion. The country is pretty divided. If you make a political statement, you will be cheered by half of your fans and booed by the other half. Why risk pissing off half of your fans and losing them?

[@emilydodge1325]

I don't usually like country music but they have been one of my favorite bands ever since I was a kid in the early 2000s :)

[@isabellerobbe-dren752]

Had never cared for, or listened to, much country music until country fans and radio stations tried to crucify the Dixie Chicks over Natalie’s remark. I was horrified by the hostility and censorship the country music establishment displayed against these talented women especially given that these same country music fans tended to portray themselves as flag-waving, freedom loving patriotic Americans - what hypocrisy. Anyways, I gave a listen to and eventually bought every CD the DCs had released and I will buy this album too. Thank you, Natalie, for your courage. I’m thrilled the Dixie Chicks are still making great music and are still #unapologetic. You women are fantastic!

[@paradeorange2900]

a war they protested ( it has been proven we went to war under a cloak of lies) got warmongers at war with em..follow the fruit :)

[@benvasilinda9729]

Parade Orange I fought in that war and watched some of the best men in this world die over there. People like u complain about people like me but u don’t have the guts to do what I did but u still complain like u actually did something. Sadly I did it for unappreciative people like u but for for all those millions that enjoy Veterans Day and Memorial Day mean more to me than people like u. It’s ok, people like u spit through the fences as we arrived back home and before we could see our family but don’t worry, my family and friends wiped it away and showed me love and that more than u could ever do for someone else.
