ALMOST ten years ago, 13-time Grammy Award and ten-time Country Music Association winners the Dixie Chicks became the first and only female group in music history to earn two consecutive diamond album certifications. US sales were in excess of ten million for Wide Open Spaces and Fly.
Four studio albums followed plus live in concert DVDs.
From these comes a brilliant compilation double CD featuring a 30 song set including 18 of their Billboard Country Chart hits such as: There’s Your Trouble, You Were Mine, Wide Open Spaces, Cowboy Take Me Away, Without You and Travellin Soldier. Ranked in the current Top Twenty country acts, Natalie Maines, Emily Robison and Marti Maguire have carved a unique niche in the hallowed halls of country music. It’s a must for any fanof good music thanks to great harmonies, brilliant instrumentation and clever thoughtful songwriting.
It is a great package that makes you want to leave the repeat button running. As the title implies it is “essential”.
