Free Music Review: great
Hit: 4 Stars
This is my first Dixie Chicks album and I am not disappointed. I am not a country music fan, but this album is very good--a bluegrass, pop infusion. Love the smart lyrics and progressive attitude!Free Music Review: Great Album
Hit: 5 Stars
Recently purchased "Taking the Long Way" by the Dixie Chicks, after seeing their Story tellers on MTV. I think the album is great, especially the song "Silent House". The lyrics of the song are very nice and the way the song is performed is masterful!Free Music Review: Great music is not bound by genre!
Hit: 5 Stars
"New Country" has never been a genre of music that I could embrace wholeheartedly. My own belief is that "real" country music, on the whole, is long since dead. My feeling is the same regarding "real" Rock 'n Roll. Simply put, there will never be another Country artist as pure or influential as Hank Williams Sr., just as there will never be another Elvis, or Beatles.
In the 90's, when Grunge and Rap infested the mainstream Rock and Pop airwaves, a lot of music listeners looking for "normality" turned to New Country. For the most part I was put-off by the majority of these New Country artists. It seemed that just about every hick from the sticks was being pushed as the next big thing. Heck, just slap a big hat on some fool with an empty head, give him a big belt buckle, and he's a star! I found most New Country to be contrived and silly. However, there were a few truly great artists to be found in that mixed bag....
The Dixie Chicks; Garth Brooks they ain't!
The Dixie Chicks have proven that in this age of empty New Country, real talent will still rise to the top. While they certainly cannot be described as Country in the classic sense, their music is undeniably REAL and in my opinion, truly great!
My music collection consists of a variety of styles and genres, but is primarily centered around Rock. Even so, I found "Taking the Long Way" to be my favorite album of 2006. This truly is a well written, masterfully produced, and perfectly performed collection of songs! It's a rarity to find an album these days that is almost entirely good, but I would venture to say that there isn't a bad song on this entire CD!
Highly recommended!
Get the version with the bonus DVD! Great live performances!

Free Music Review: Rick Rubin does it again.
Hit: 5 Stars
First off I'll say I haven't liked their twangy previous work and I hate their politics so I was biased against liking this album. I picked up this album after hearing an interview with the 'Chicks on NPR. I was surprised how much I liked the songs they included in the interview, until the name Rick Rubin was mentioned. I tell ya, that guy's amazing. He really knows how to draw something special out of the musicians he works with. I hope they work with him some more because they're really on the right track musically.Free Music Review: Great Album - Defective Disc

Taking The Long Way is another great collection of songs from the Dixie Chicks. I wouldn't say that it's any better than their previous albums; the songs were well written & well performed. Unfortuneately, the CD I received only lasted for 2 or 3 "spins" before pooping out in my otherwise properly functioning CD player. $$$ wasted!!
