The Dixie Chicks were very popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. Just changed their name to The Chicks last summer. “Cowboy Take Me Away” features a lot of banjo and more harmonies. Not Ready to Make Nice is their most powerful song.

The Dixie Chicks, famously cancelled by country radio in 2001 for telling a concert audience in England that they were ashamed George W. Bush is from Texas, dropped the "Dixie" from their name last year. Their clap-back album 'Shut Up and Sing' won the Album of the Year Grammy in 2007 and they were also part of Beyonce's controversial performance at the CMAs in 2016 and sang the National Anthem at the Democratic Convention last year.

[@Vlasko60]

The Chicks first earned my respect when they made fun of George W. Bush. Then I found out that I like their music. They lost some fans, but certainly made a lot of new ones. I now like a lot of country songs. They're not afraid of controversy. Good strong role models and some really beautiful songs.

Earl was portrayed by Dennis Franz, he is a good actor and has been in several movies and TV shows, he was in die hard 2, and NYPD Blue and several others. The two girls, Jane Krakowski and Lauren Holly are actresses also and have both been in several movies and TV shows, Lauren Holly was a regular in NCIS...just info

You could clearly tell that y'all weren't expecting that and the looks on your faces was priceless! Definitely a great song and great reaction.

[@Spazzmatazzz]

Listening to country is like listening to any genre. Sometimes you gotta look around. How many times have you been listening to your favorite station on the radio and said, "Og, I hate this song!" and change the station. There is no one genre of music that you like every song. In 1960, there was a popular song song titled, Shop Around". It's excellent advice. ☺

[@toriboy25]

Yeah I was never a fan of much country music (a song here and there I like) and I hated The Chick's Ready to Run (like it now) but when I heard this song I was like 'Hey I guess they are alright' Then I saw a TV concert they did and fell in love. Now one of my favorite artist.

I remember my mom used to listen to The Chicks on cassette when I was a kid even though we weren't big country fans. She always skipped over this song when I was younger and then finally played it for me one day. I was SHOOK at the part about Wanda covering up her bruises. Really opened my eyes to the idea of domestic abuse. I love how even though the video is dark humor at its finest, they have that one serious moment with Jane Krakowski in the ICU and don't downplay the abuse. They have to take you to that low point in order to rally you in the cause to kill Earl!

[@davidedwards1705]

I am born and raised in Dallas, Texas where the Chicks are from, I wish I had known it then but I do remember seeing them in a county bar down here. They sang a song, not sure which one; was not sure until they made their first album official.

[@teresadavidson3706]

The Dixie Chicks are from Texas and were one of the biggest bands in country music in the late 1990s. In 2003 the lead singer told a London audience days before the Invasion of Iraq that the band did not endorse the war and were "ashamed" that President George W. Bush was from Texas. There was a huge backlash in the country music community, including their music being banned by country radio and fans burning/destoying/tossing out their Dixie Chicks albums. This reaction destroyed the band's career. The band broke up for several years, but began touring again in 2010. The Dixie Chicks never regained their music success, though. In 2020, they dropped "Dixie" from their name because of possible racist connotations regarding the old South. They then released a semi-successful song "Gaslighter" You should really check that one out.

[@AimeeFleck]

[@dgray9506]

The Chicks are a band that you all would really like, both musically and politically. Recently changed their name and took Dixie out of it because they didn't want to be associated with the negative Southern connection to Dixie and the mistreatment of blacks. The Chicks also got in a lot of heat years ago while playing in the UK claiming the George Bush II "wasn't our president" when he did something stupid that they didn't back. Natalie Maines, the lead singer, was actually raised in the country music world. Her father is a famous steel guitar player and the other two gals are actually sisters.

[@zmbiaccountant2812]

The Chicks - they changed their names recently (last year) because they didn’t like the connotations that ‘Dixie’ has. They (like many, I am sure) hadn’t really thought about it when they first got together. So they just dropped the word.

Natalie Manes statef that she was ashamed of being from Texas because of George Bush was the president of the United States. Their popularity plummeted and many venues canceled them. They are the perfect example of " go woke go broke." What Manes forgot is that most country music fans are conservative Republicans. To this day my family refuses to listen to them. But again it had absolutely nothing to do with the word Dixie, because quite frankly that is just stupid.

[@igna83]

@@thomasrocker7408 - actually, @jsjazz12 is correct and Natalie Maines even explained that on Howard Stern last year. But their "Freedom of Speech" rights to insult any president, current or past, did not sit well with some right-wing, conservative country music fans, and Toby Keith began a movement to oust them from fame and destroy their careers--that whole ordeal was documented in many places, including posters he projected at his concerts of Natalie & then president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. And he calls liberal folks "snowflakes"...lol

Their renditions of "Landslide" and "Travelin Soldier" are beautiful.

[@melisarokala5363]

You should do "Not Ready To Make Nice" by The Chicks. It was after the death threats they received for saying the were embarrassed to be from the same state as then Pres Bush (Jr not Sr). The raw emotion in that song will tear you apart.

[@johnnyhempseed84]

I'm still not use to hearing them not being called, 'Dixie Chicks'.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I didn't even know they changed their name. I was like "who are the chicks?". Lol

[@roxyhart3247]

I know right still don't see why they had to change their name when it was only 6-10 years ago we had Hart of Dixie which had nothing to do with what they say it nearly meant Southern maybe I'm ignorant but I just don't get it

[@Mymloch]

Yeah, can't say I'm a fan of that VERY overly knee-jerk reaction nonsense. The word "Dixie" is not offensive in and of itself.

[@LoloMoonChild]

The whole story behind The Chicks is crazy. They were “ cancelled” by country radio for saying they were ashamed the then President. George W. Bush was from their home state of Texas while doing a concert in London. You should listen to “ Not Ready To Make Nice”, “Wide Open Spaces” and “Traveling Solider”. They are amazing.

[@Rowgue51]

@@Mymloch The word Dixie is not offensive at all. Nobody knows for sure how it became a common reference to refer to the south. But there is nothing to indicate it has any connection whatsoever to anything they were worried about distancing themselves from. It wasn't even popularized as a common reference to the south until a hundred years after any of the events they were worried that it was associated with.

[@djhcc7]

The Chicks were the biggest country group at this time. Then upon the eve of the Iraq war they were playing a show in London and Natalie, the lead singer said she was ashamed the President of the United States was from Texas and the many people turned against them, they were banned from country radio and people burned, stamped their CD's, protested their shows and they received death threats. You should watch their documentary Shut Up and Sing.

[@Sabrina79]

This is my favorite song of The Dixie Chicks! I sang this with my BFF at a karaoke night years ago and we had a blast. And I saw them live at Radio City Music Hall in 2000, which was also a blast.😂

[@mommatogummybear9671]

Gotta hear The Chicks : Not ready to make nice!!!! Awesome song and message

[@nole9395]

Love it! One of my suggestions!! :) The Chicks removed Dixie from their name recently (to remove the reference for its symbolism to historical racism in the South). They have other great songs, too!! Worth a deeper dive!! They got caught up in a huge scandal by protesting GW Bush many years back, too, that isolated them for a while from the country music world, but they've been making a comeback. They have always been bold, brash, honest, feminist, political, and unafraid to speak their mind. Worth discovering because they make some amazing music! Happy Female Friday, y'all!

[@karenvega7089]

You should listen to You Were Mine by The Chicks. I love that song and I'm not a huge Dixie Chicks fan.

The other girls (Emily and Martie) are primarily instrumentalists, and sing backup. Emily plays banjo, Martie plays fiddle and viola (plus probably other instruments for both of them!). They just weren’t shown with their instruments in this video. The singer, Natalie, is their longest-tenured lead vocalist. There were a couple other singers prior to her, when they were more of a bluegrass band. When Natalie joined, they adopted a pop-country sound, recorded the Wide Open Spaces album, and they shot to fame!

[@brookerickettson4950]

The video for this song is a riot. Of course DA is inexcusable, but omg the zombie Earl at the end!!

[@AnimeOtakuDrew]

I haven't heard this song in years! Good choice! And as far as I know, they are indeed the Dixie Chicks. If you want another fun country song for Female Friday, you should react to "The Pill" by Loretta Lynn. On the other hand, a good story song for Female Friday would be "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence, or possibly "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" by Tammy Wynette. I would love to see all of those reactions!

That song is so pwerful, and moves me close to tears every time. I still don't understand why she was so viciously attacked when so many people who were opposed to the "new" war said the same or worse. Here is what she said, scandalous ..."As Maines was introducing the Chicks' then-latest single, "Travelin' Soldier," she said, "Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."...

If I could suggest some female content from an unexpected source: Pink Floyd, Great Gig In The Sky. Some of the best female vocals ever recorded, and without a word spoke. Except a short (almost hidden sentence) whisper near the end.
