"Dixie Chicks fans, Natalie Maines says the wait for new music is almost over. On an episode of the Spiritualgasm podcast, the singer confirms that a new record from the country trio will be out in 2020, and that it will be accompanied by an arena tour...As for the tour, Maines says that she recently received the trek's proposed routing details."- TheBoot.com, Angela Stefano, September 20, 2019
Thank you for confirming what I was thinking...the album was recorded and the tour was already planned in 2019.
Considering my current opinion of GW Bush, I don’t know if I can still hold a grudge against them for Natalie Maines ill timed remark about him (their being ashamed that he was from Texas)...but I guess they are still Ditzy Chicks.
