New Chicks album - Page 2

I didn't start out a fan but once I saw them live on the Lilith Fair tour I was hooked. They are so energetic live and a refreshing change from the studio polished artists that can't recreate their sound on stage.

I'm not a huge fan of country music, so I don't go out of my way to listen to them. But I do like their version of Landslide. (I've been afraid to admit that here as well!

)

Obviously Rubin brought in a whole heap of friends this time to help get the sound he wanted with the Dixie Chicks. Whatever he does, it seems to work.

by being a person who sits around and gives his opinion, I will give him credit as being a great motivator in the studio in regards to getting the best out of an artist (He will need good luck in regards to Metallica...Reading the studio comments about Metallica w/Rubin at the helm on the official Metallica website is a big laugh) but as a producer in the technical sense I think he is very ordinary and somewhat overrated.

Oh, never listened to Neil Diamond since he is not my taste in music...But he has my respects as a musician/songwriter

YAY!!! I've been waiting for this...sounds promising.

They're on "60 Minutes" tonite, if anyone cares. I'll be watching. I saw a preview and they're talking about the death threats they got. Stuff like "you will be shot dead, at your Dallas show on such and such date"

Pretty scary.

I LOVE THE DIXIE CHICKS!

Listening to Stevie's cover of their song Landslide made me get in to them.

I like the chicks. Natalie is a little shrill, but great with harmonies. These girls are talented as musicians, singers, and writers. A rarity these days. And I didn't mind their Landslide. Of course Stevie should work with Rick Rubin. She has never had a producer who was able to tell her that her songs or lyrics were crap - it might actually produce a solo record that wasn't 40% bad songs. If only.

I can't wait to hear the new album, I'm sure it's gonna be great. I love the first single "Not Ready To Make Nice", the lyrics are obviously very personal since they relate to the Bush incident in 2003.

Heads Up: The Chicks are on Larry King tonite.

I'm getting much more into the CD as time goes on. They were on Good Morning America last week - looked & sounded great.

I saw the video for "Not Ready To Make Nice" 3 times this weekend at the rodeo, and it is fantastic. And I now like the song a whole lot more.

The video projections make the hair on the back of my arms stand up. All that menacing, billowing, exploding black ink, perfectly timed to the song. The editing is particularly exceptional. All those images of them with black all over their hands, wiping it on their white dresses and unable to get rid of it. It is full on Lady Macbeth.
The part where they are holding Natalie on the bed is powerful too. And they all look hot. I am so impressed by the whole thing. I want to own it.
