Guide Review - The Dixie Chicks - Taking The Long Way
This CD takes the Chicks back to a sound that is very reminiscent of the music of the early 1970's. But don't think that the Chicks have totally abandoned their country roots, because they haven't. Their country sound can still be heard throughout this entire CD. But if you listen, you can hear some influences of the early music of The Eagles. There is a lot more acoustic guitar in this release than in their previous CD's. But have no fear, this is still the Dixie Chicks.
As I listened to the songs on this CD, I found them to be angry, like the song "Not Ready To Make Nice." They also seemed to be somewhat reflective as in their song "Bitter End. And I also found them to be hopeful in the slightly gospel sounding track called "I Hope. Not only is the music slightly different throughout the CD, the Dixie Chicks also seemed to sound a little more mature in the lessons of life and love. And yes, the anger is still there, and it comes through loud and clear in their first hit single called "Not Ready To Make Nice."
