THE DIXIE CHICKS

Notice a pattern here?

I tried to resist the temptation to "bring it up again" but since you have my cell # and you haven't called, this is my only medium for contact.

The first time I was exposed to you, I was working 3rd shift at Sears doing a remodel project. While working on the light fixtures in the electronics dept. there was an endless loop of music videos playing on the televisions. You in all your glory were singing "Wide open spaces" at least once an hour. When I got out of work at 6AM, I drove to the music store and waited till they opened to buy our first Chicks CD. It was "Love at first listen"
Some time after that I was working at a school on a service and technologies' upgrade and had to work "around" the head cook in "her" kitchen. During that job, you played at The Bradley Center where the head "eache", her husband, my wife and I met by chance, after that night we were like peas and carrots.
Enough of my rambleing, I'm sure you get my point by now. If not you have my number.

Is Natalie ever coming back and will you three record again as the Dixie Chicks? You are my favorite group. I really miss you guys. I call radio stations requesting them to play your music. The fanatical Bushies don't scare me none and I really pray that you three won't let Bush and his cronies destroy the best vocal group in music...
Please.. bring NATALIE BACK...it completes your sound...

I am so glad to hear this project. The first 4 songs are fantastic. I am still wondering where I buy tickets for the march 18th show in Austin. I'll be on vacation that week and would love to drive over and see them.

Ladies you are fantastic.

This is Cheryl from High Hills Bluegrass Band. We opened for you guys in El Cajon years ago. Loved your music in the Dixie Chicks, NOW I LOVE your new music as Court Yard Hounds! You guys rock! So far your 4 cuts are awesome! Thank you for making music again, missed you, Cheryl

The sisters have beautiful voices and I wish them much success with the CYH. I was a big Chicks fan and saw them in Nashville on the "Free Natalie" tour. It was a great show and they were never better.

I am one of the "narrow minded" people who think Natalie was wrong with her now famous comments. I don't think she was brave at all to make an anti American comment in England, in front of a Chicks audience. If she made the same crack in Texas, in front of a Toby Keith audience, that would have been brave. However, I agree 100% that she has the right to her opinion and to express it.

Where I am disappointed is how she was after the event. Natalie acted immature and petulant. Just look at the next single, "Not Ready To Make Nice" and her FUTK shirts. Rather than try to repair the situation, she went out of her way to make it worse. That's fine if she were a solo act, but she brought down the Dixie Chicks with her.

I have been waiting patiently for you two to come back! I would of pre-ordered without hearing anything because you have such an amazing gift to share and I am thankful you have worked so hard to, once again, show 'em what you got! I love and appreciate your talent. Rock it girls!

I'm thrilled as can be for Emily and Martie! This sounds great so far and I'm hoping to catch them in our home state of Texas very soon. Even if I have to go down to Austin for SXSW. I hope the label is going to work the living hell out of this to Triple A radio!!!!! Woo hoo!!!

I've been reading some of the comments about the DCX without Natalie, all I can say is to remind people this is a separate group.
I love the music of the Chicks too, but this is interesting.
Good luck girls, and I'll be buying a ticket when you come to Austin.

I am happy for you Emily and Martie, I really am. If it's truely in your blood, nothing can stop you now. By the same token, I am hearbroken and disappointed as I feel you gave in & let them win. I heard you say in an interview that the two of you just wanted to do a "family thing". In the past, you always made it seem as though Natalie was your family too. So sad. I will miss the three of you dearly. The music you made together made me feel alive, happy, and proud to be a country music listener/supporter. I quit listening to all the country stations in my area since they pulled your music. I still will not turn them on because of what happened to the Dixie Chicks. That is no lie. I don't normally blog, but I feel very strong about what happened and how it has affected the very best country music group I have ever known and loved. I wish you well and I will continue to pray for peace and harmony.

I'm looking forward to your show in SF. There are so many great venues here to play in. I talked to Tim at the Fillmore and they would love to have you play there. Hint, hint.........

I love the Chicks! Hope this isn't the end of them. Good luck with your new venture, but it's just not the same without Natalie.

I am so excited that the music will go on!!!!!!!!!!!! It's such a shame for it to remain bottled up... I always thought that your talent was phenomenal but Wowwww! It sounds great!!!! Can't wait to see y'all in action again!!!! Please come to North Carolina!!!

I am a fellow musician and long time fan of the Dixie Chicks. Very happy to see Emily and Martie back doing music, but waiting hopefully for the three of you to do your thing again.

I have been a truly inspired fan for years! This project is SO exciting. Thank you for everything, can't wait to hear you two play your instruments and sing harmonies together again!

Two amazing musicians, playing beautiful music. I am so excited! I've been waiting for new music for ages, and finally...Love it. Thank you ladies!!!

Sooo? Is this the END of DCX or just an additional track ASWELL as the DCX??

Love it. No knock against Nat...loved her too...but I'm glad the music goes on.....

I LIKE IT!.....SMOOTH, SPRY, CLEAN & UP BEAT IN A SOFTER WAY....A MELLOWER SOUND THAT WORKS.......& I KNOW THESE GIRLS CAN GET DOWN!.....I PLAYED A "VICTORIAN" IN THE "NOT READY TO MAKE NICE" VIDEO.(..& LOVED IT!.).......DO IT!........BEST, JACK ENGLISH ,..... ACTOR/SINGER........WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF..........JE

i LOOVE you guys. have been one of your biggest fans. Own every CD you've done. Been to your concerts before and immediately after the 'incident' when there were protesters outside. Cried when i watched Shut Up and Sing. Have a ' Free Natalie" bumper sticker. Have signed petitions on your behalf. Arguing for you before everyone else realized he was an idiot too and Natalie was right all along...
Love you girls. But...I miss Natalie and what you are as the Chicks. Please don't give up and come back soon. xoxo

The Music sounds intriging and I am curious; will buy and listen to; But, the Chicks need to come on back....Miss the great music they produce. Last Album is my all time favorite from any genre. Good Luck Marty and Emily. Natalie, miss your courage and your ability to speak your mind and most of all...That voice!

Thanks for the vid info and where else to find it because I can't view it either....

The video doesn't allow me to watch it. The play button doesn't hilight when I scroll over it to click on it! Help!

So glad to see hear new music. Looking forward to the new cd and seeing you live again. It has been too long!

I'm going to hold out for the next Dixie Chicks album as that is much more my style, but I definitely wanted to stop by and wish Martie and Emily the best of luck!!
