Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks have one of the best "band stories" since the days of Elvis. Founded in 1989 in Dallas as a cowgirl western-swing and bluegrass quartet, the band reinvented itself in 1992 as a trio, then again in 1995 as an alternative/ country trio that dominated the charts in 1998 and 1999 with such hits as "I Can Love You Better Than That, " "There's Your Trouble, " and the title track from their album Wide Open Spaces. That album has sold well over five million copies, and in 1999 the Dixie Chicks won two Grammy awards and three Academy of Country Music awards.Dixie Chicks is the extraordinary history of this unique, all-girl band, which was founded by sisters Emily Erwin and Martie Seidel in 1989. Ten years and several personnel changes later, they finally got the attention they deserve. Go behind the scenes with the Chicks as they hit the road. Accompany them as they develop their distinctive sound in the studio, and listen in as they sort out their personal lives in the back of their touring van.You will venture into areas of their private lives that have never been discussed publicly. Learn which Chick married a Texas lottery winner, which Chick taught math in a boys' school, and which one likes to exercise on a trampoline in between takes in the studio. Find the formula of the personal chemistry that makes this band like no other.Dickerson, James L. is the author of 'Dixie Chicks', published 1957 under ISBN 9781580631198 and ISBN 1580631193.
