#09 - The Chicks - Part 2: 1995 - present
<p>Say what you want, but the Chicks have ended up raising an entire generation of women who got into country music. The premise was clear: sing, have fun, don't be afraid to be a little rebellious and never take yourself too seriously. Join Carol and her dear guest Dee Ann in a two-parter episode that celebrates The Chicks’ legacy as musicians who challenged expectations, spoke their truth, and came back stronger than ever.</p><br><p>In the first part of this story, we dive into their roots in Dallas, TX as an up-and-coming Bluegrass and Western Swing act formed by sisters Martie McGuire & Emily Strayer (née Erwin) teamed up with Robin Macy and Laura Lynch (in memoriam).</p><br><p>In part two, we start off just before Natalie Maines joined the trio; a moment about to change their story forever. We break down the albums, the backlash that changed music history and their triumphant return.</p><br><p>Whether you danced the two-step to a live performance of "West Texas Wind" back in the good ol' days, have followed them since “Wide Open Spaces”, or discovered them through "Gaslighter", this episode is for you and is nothing but an ode to a band that refuses to be anything but fearless.</p><br><p>DISCLAIMER: At certain points in this series, we do refer to the band using their old name, "Dixie Chicks", mainly for clarity while discussing the early phase of the group. We do however fully support the band's decision to drop the word "Dixie" from its name.</p><p>Follow us on social media @purdypickers for news on upcoming episodes and extra content!</p><br><p>Created and produced by Carol B.
