The
Dixie Chicks are an American all-female
country music trio, comprising Emily Robison,
Martie Maguire, and Natalie Maines.
The Dixie Chicks formed in 1989 in Dallas,
Texas. After years of struggle and changes
in personnel, the group achieved large-scale
country and pop commercial success starting
in the late 1990s, with hit songs such
as "Wide Open Spaces", "Cowboy
Take Me Away", and "Long Time
Gone". They became known for their
lively group personae, instrumental virtuosity,
fashion sense, and honestly expressed
political opinions. In particular, Natalie
Maines' public criticism of President
George W. Bush on the eve of the 2003
invasion of Iraq led to considerable controversy
for the group, causing them to lose approximately
half of their concert audience attendance.
