Isn't Natalie Maines from an Iranian family?

I don't think so. Her father, Lloyd Maines, is a near (and justly) legendary Texas guitarist, session musician and country/roots music record producer. I've no idea what his political beliefs are, but I've thoroughly enjoyed many an evening hearing him play, uninterrupted by air-headed blather.

I had heard fairly recently that her "significant other", (husband?) is of Middle Eastern descent and that they have a child together... not absolutely sure tho'
