Dixie Chicks
Contemporary Musicians and Their Music
When lead singer Nathalie Maines criticized President George W. the music group became country radio pariahs overnight. Enduring lost airtime, plummeting album sales, record burning rallies, and death threats, the Dixie Chicks Soldiered on, without apology or regrets. Gradually and with great determination, they built a new fan base and climbed back up to the top, triumphing at the 2006 Grammy Awards and starring in a documentary about their struggles. This is their story, with all of its exhilarating, poignant, and inspiring ups, downs, and ultimate vindication.
