Members David_Vickers Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'll definitely buy it. I've bought their last 3 cds. They're the best country group ever IMHO. I respect them even more for telling it like it is about W and his war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 22, 2006 Members Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm definitely getting their album, they're one of my favorite country groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meredith Posted May 27, 2006 Members Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm not a huge fan of their music, but I love their attitude. Yup, I'm the kind that gets in trouble at work all the time. I've learned to keep my mouth shut. Now I just vent about TPTB in my livejournal. I won't work there forever. Nothing is ever permanent anyway. But I agree that people should always be allowed to speak their minds, up to a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toadstool Posted May 27, 2006 Members Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm like you Meredith. Their music is not my cup of tea (seems good enough though and they're obviously talented) but I feel like buying the CD just to support their attitude. Who knows? I might end up really liking it.

Members R!ck Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well The Chicks debuted at #1 and already went Gold with 526,000 albums sold! For the third time in their career, the Dixie Chicks roost on the top of The Billboard 200. The Columbia album "Taking the Long Way" tallied 526,000 copies in its first week of U.S. sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the trio's best-selling week since 2002's "Home" debuted with 780,000. And while country radio has remained cool to the group in the wake of a 2003 boycott following comments group member Natalie Maines made about President Bush, "Taking the Long Way" also nabs the No. 1 spot on the Country Albums chart, bumping Rascal Flatts' "Me and My Gang" (Lyric Street/Hollywood) down to No. 2 after seven weeks at the top.

Members Bree Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well, there goes Bill O'Reilly's assumption he made on his show that the DC's wouldn't be successful with this album due to the Bush fallout. If anything, this album will be a hit because they still have fans who agreed with them, and that people will buy it just to hear what they have to say. I do like "Not Ready to Make Nice" and I think that country music today is full of narrow-minded DJ's and fans. I agree with Emily Robison when she said on 60 Minutes she doesn't like this attitude that some of the modern country artists have now. I'm sure she meant Toby Keith when she said it. When he came out with Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue, talking about America putting a boot up other countries' asses, I was embarrassed because America is not the white trash, redneck, hick, violent country that some of these singers make it out to be.
