The Dixie Chicks are back with new music and a new name. They are not whistling Dixie anymore because they dropped that part of their name. From now on, they will be just known as The Chicks.
Another band has that same name. However, Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer, and Martie Maguire wanted us to know, “A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to ‘The Chicks’ of [New Zealand] for their gracious gesture in allowing us to share their name. We are honored to co-exist together in the world with these exceptionally talented sisters. Chicks Rock!”
Not only do Chicks rock, but they also march! The newly named trio released the third song from their upcoming album Gaslighter today. A song we should all sing the next time we March, March!
Who would have thought that the most powerful protesting song would come from Country music? But it did. The times, they are a-changing, and that is a very good thing.
Gaslighter, the first studio album since 2006, will be released on July 17th. Don’t march, march to the record stores to get it. You need to run, run!
