Love today's post! I feel like there's a long piece to be written about the relationship between the Chicks and Patty Griffin. They had her open for them at their height - not an obvious choice! - covered some deep cuts (Truth #2, Top of the World), etc. And Griffin was finding her way during this same time, moving from a solo folk artist to a full-band folk-rocker while "Silver Bell" got lost.
What a great idea! I’d be love to see a piece about that. I’m a long-time Patty Griffin fan and those covers the Chicks did are great! Didn’t they do @Making Pies,” too?
That 90s chart is hitting me with the nostalgia. All the Chicks. "Amazed" was such a big hit, it was everywhere. Remember that Dwight Yoakum Queen cover was one of those Gap commercials where they had everybody swing dancing (or in this case line dancing)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIbz6lQ569M I might be showing my age a bit here.
I also spy Jessica Andrews! I listened to her song "Who I Am" a million times when it came out. And SheDaisy! I loved them so much.
What a fun post! Thank you! I remember some friends of mine in 1996 or 7 going to—I think it might’ve been a rodeo somewhere near Houston— coming back saying they had heard this great trio called the Dixie Chicks! No one had heard of them then. They’ve always been favorites of mine and I hated what happened to them with the Bush thing—they were right!
