THE DIXIE CHICKS
THE DIXIE CHICKS The  Dixie Chicks  are a  country music  group, comprising three women;  Martie Maguire ,  Natalie Maines , and  Emily Robison . Together, they have sold over  36 million albums  as of May, 2008. The group formed in  1989  in  Dallas, Texas , and was originally composed of four women performing  bluegrass  and  country music ,  busking  and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years, without attracting a  major label . After the departure of one bandmate, the replacement of their lead singer, and a slight change in their repertoire, the Dixie Chicks achieved massive  country music  and  pop  success, beginning in  1998  with hit songs like " Wide Open Spaces ", " Cowboy Take Me Away ", and " Long Time Gone ". The women became well-known for their independent spirit and outspoken comments on controversial subjects, including politics. Ten days before the  2003 invasion of Iraq , lead vocalist  Natalie Maines  said "We don't want this war, this violence; and, we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas", (the Dixie Chicks' home State). As of 2008, they have won  thirteen   Grammy Awards , with five of them earned in 2007 including the coveted Grammy Award for  Album of the Year  for  Taking The Long Way .
