The Dixie Chicks formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas. After years of struggle and changes in personnel, the group achieved large-scale country and pop commercial success starting in the late 1990s, with hit songs such as "Wide Open Spaces", "Cowboy Take Me Away", and "Long Time Gone". They became known for their lively group personas, instrumental virtuosity, fashion sense, and political comments. In particular, Natalie Maines' public criticism in a foreign country of President George W. Bush on the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq led to considerable controversy for the group, causing them to lose approximately half of their concert audience attendance in the United States.donderdag, december 14
