Dixie Love


First off, the comments section is now public for all blogs, feel free to give your two cents (not that I care, hehe), or drop me a line, or as morons would say, "Holla!".

There are numerous reasons why the Dixie Chicks have had a huge success. I find all three girls extremely talented. They each play multiple instruments and play it well. Natalie, the lead singer, plays the guitar and the bass, she also has an incredible voice. Martie, the backup vocalist, plays the fiddle, violin, guitar, and other instruments I could not name (maybe a dobro?). Emily, the third member of the band, also jams on a few instruments herself.

The Dixie Chicks also take a strong political stance which I find highly respectable, agree or disagree.

The Dixie Chicks happens to be good looking gals.

The Dixie Chicks, unlike other stereo-typical country music artists, wrote songs about more than their lost wife/dog, love, countryside, pick-up trucks.

The Dixie Chicks tell great stories through their lyrics.

The Dixie Chicks can be (if not already) a fashion icon for being the liaison between traditional country music attire and modern day apparel, they have a unique style of clothing (not that I know anything about fashion, but they don't wear your typical cowboy hats, wrangler jeans, belt buckles, and boots).

The Dixie Chicks live sounds almost identical to their songs in the recording studio, which is a rarity in any music.
Most importantly, The Dixie Chicks support their fans and have fun with their music. When musicians play for the love of music you can feel their passion in a tune.

I, unlike your average music lover, enjoy a plethora genre of music. Along with your typical radio station music, I also like country, metal, electronic, jazz, even broadway and blues. Our generation is an earful of Hip-Hop, R&B, and so-called Alternative Rock that doesn't really rock. I enjoy the Dixie Chicks more than 95% of the music played on our mainstream radio. Try it.
