I've always felt they would be a better band with a different lead singer. Their version of "Landslide", that has been getting an obscene amount of airplay, is pale and anemic campared to the original. It's just their physical attractiveness that has put their popularity above that of more talented artists like Alison Kraus and Union Station.

I am disappointed. I really liked most of the chicks music.
What really surprises me is....get this....BACK in 1994, I was a delegate to the Texas Republican Party Convention in Fort Worth and that is the first time I ever heard the Dixie Chicks. Govenor Rick Perry, Texas Agriculture Commissioner at the time, introduced them and they entertained the delegates one evening. I really liked them better then because of their obvious musical talent and the lead singer was a lovely brunette with the sweetest voice you ever heard. Years later when I heard a song supposedly by the Dixie Chicks, it didn't sound at all the same. Took a while to get into Natalie's style- too frenetic. I got the impression that they were Republican back then....maybe they just didn't say one way or the other. But I can make a judgement about their wisdom.

Akus puts the Clucks to shame. Just listen to the new Akus release "Live", then put on anything the DCs have out. Akus is "top-shelf"… the Clucks are "rot-gut".

Alison and the boys are good people, love America and support our troops.

Alison just smokes the hell outta the Blixe(apparat)chix!

But where they stand on politics?

By god, I am only gonna support conservatives forevermore.
