I just knew that something was more "chicken" and "chic" than "chix" with the Dixie Chicks when, during a special with James Taylor, Natalie went on and on about how she listened to him as a child, he was her idol, singing with him was an honor, blah, blah, blah.... When she was a child, he was a drug-taking elite Eastcoast psycho, most admired by anti-war, back-to-the-land hippies. I don't remember too many Young Republicans going to James Taylor concerts back then.

The biography on the chicks has Natalie clearly expressing contempt for country music. Her dad is a guitarist for the group and gave her demo to the two sisters; they wanted her to join them. First thing they did was hire a stylist (courtesy of Sony) and the rest is history. She's trying real hard to cross over to pop with their rendition of
Landslide, former Fleetwood Mac hit.
