Their album, "Taking the Long Way" was number 1 on the Billboard top 200 chart this week. Just goes to show that speaking truth to power can be done and you can still have a hit song. The Dixie Chicks single, "Not Ready To Make Nice" is a direct slap at the radio stations that dropped their music after Natalie Maines commented in a London appearance that she was ashamed to be a Texan, referring to President Bush's Texas roots.
The album is full of fight and hard driving countrified rock sounds that will satisfy the Rock and Country markets. I bought my copy at Starbucks of all places, and apparently American's are ready to forgive and forget any comments made by the group, or more likely they have come around to the same point of view.
For me, I hope this album, along with the other politically themed songs coming out lately help turn the tide against the Bush administration. America is waking up to the fact that these criminals are trying to steal our freedoms and our country. I hope the new wave of protest music is the soundtrack to a new revolution. A revolution that manifests itself at the ballot box in November and takes back the House and Senate so we can take back our country.
