Dixie Chicks-Taking The Long Way

I have always loved the Dixie Chicks. From the first 2 very country releases to their last bluegrass release "Home" and now with the latest "taking the long way" I love them even more. They just released this Cd last week on the 23rd. It has been the only thing I have listened to since. I cant even begin to tell you what my favorite track is. I'm not gonna pretend to even give a review, we all know I am bad at that. All I'm gonna say about this album is "I feel ya" on all counts. Everything they sing about is close and I know not just close to me but others. As usual the album is springled with some guest artist on the recording side and the writing side. to name a few John Mayer, Bonnie Raitt,Sheryl Crow, and Linda Perry. I was surprised to see that Patty Griffin didnt help pen anything on this album because at first listen you would have thought she may have. Maybe I missed her name in the liner notes. Accuratly enough they have titled their 2006 tour "Accidents and Accusations Tour"...brilliance! So, if you are any sort of fan AT ALL just go pick it up. I saw them when they did their "Fly" tour for their second album. If you have a chance and the spare $$ I suggest you get some tickets for you and your friends and enjoy a night with some good music, beer and good friends!

P.s. The video for the new single "not ready to make nice" is superb...check it out at www.launch.com
