The Dixie Chicks are a country rock band from the United
States composed of three women: Emily Robison, Martie
Maguire and Natalie Maines. They are the highest-selling
female band in any musical genre, having sold 36 million
albums as of June 2006. The group formed in 1989 in Dallas,
Texas. After several years of failure to reach a large
audience outside a local fan base, a change in band members
and new approach towards their material rocketed the band
toward massive country and pop success in the late 1990s.
With hit songs and diamond albums, the women became well-known
for their lively persona, instrumental virtuosity, soaring
ballads, fashion sense and outspoken political comments.
As of 2007, they have won 13 Grammy Awards. Ten days before
the 2003 invasion of Iraq, lead vocalist Natalie Maines
publicly criticized U.S. President George W. Bush. The
ensuing controversy cost the group half of their concert
audience attendance in the United States as chronicled
in the 2006 documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing.
At the 49th Grammy Awards Show in 2007, the group won
all five categories for which they were nominated, including
the coveted Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and
Album of the Year, in a vote that Maines interpreted as
being a show of public support for their advocacy of free
speech and their early disapproval of the 2003 Invasion
of Iraq.--Wikipedia
