Info for Taking The Long Way (Remaster)

Mit „Taking The Long Way“ legen The Chicks ihr bislang persönlichstes Album vor. Die Gruppe aus Texas hat im Verlauf ihrer Karriere mehr Platten verkauft als jede andere „All Fe-male“-Popband in der Musikgeschichte. Zum ersten mal hat die Band für das neue Album an allen vierzehn Titeln mitgeschrieben. Und jedes Stück, egal ob es sich mit privaten oder politischen Themen befasst, hat eine ganz besondere Tiefe. Für „Taking The Long Way“ arbeitete das Trio mit dem genreübergreifend hochgeschätzten US-Produzenten Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run DMC, Neil Diamond) zusammen.

Der Einfluss von klassischen Rockbands wie den Eagles, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers und The Mamas and The Papas unüberhörbar. Ein entspannter Southern-California-Vibe blitzt unter dem vertrauten Dixie-Chicks-Sound hervor. Die Texte befassen sich mit der unverbesserlichen Engstirnigkeit mancher Kleinstädter oder der Psychologie des Berühmtseins.

'Ohne ihre Countryroots zu verlassen, bekommt ihre Musik eine rockige Note, die in keinster Weise aufgesetzt wirkt. Mit namhaften Co-Autoren schrieben The Chicks zudem erstmalig an allen 14 Songs mit. Begünstigt durch Rubins Gespür für das Wesentliche hat jeder Song Hitqualitäten.' (STEREO)

The Chicks
(Dixie Chick) was formed in 1989 and is well-known for their contemporary country music. In America, they became the highest-selling female group. Their album “Wide Open Spaces” was launched in 1998 where they have been noted to keep the balance of different genres – aesthetic country pop and neo-traditionalist country.

The Dixie Chicks broke through big beginning in 1998 with hit songs “There’s Your Trouble” and “Wide Open Spaces.” Country superstars The Dixie Chicks are composed of founding members (and sisters) Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison, and lead singer Natalie Maines. As of 2012, the Dixie Chicks had won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way—which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year—and “Not Ready to Make Nice”, a single from that album.

By February 2013, with 30.5 million certified albums sold, and sales of 27 million albums in the U.S. alone, they had become the top selling all-female band, and biggest selling country group in the U.S. during the Nielsen SoundScan era which is from 1991 to present.

More recently by December 2015, The Dixie Chicks had 30.5 million certified albums, with sales of 27.5 million albums in the U.S. alone. This meant that they had become the top selling all-female band and biggest-selling country group in the U.S. during 1991 to present day. The following year, in 2016, The Dixie Chicks went on tour with the DCX MMXVI World Tour which commenced in April in Belgium and finished in Canada in April 2017.
