Free Music Notes for Taking the Long Way
Free Music Review: How many copies of this album have been sold?!?!
Hit: 4 Stars
This album hasn't left the Amazon Top 100 in a year and a half. That pretty much speaks for itself right there. This album is a strong effort by the Chicks. It's right up there with "Home", but I don't feel it's as strong as "Fly" or "Wide Open Spaces". That certainly doesn't take away from this album. Those 2 afformentioned albums are borderline masterpieces. "Taking The Long Way" isn't quite a masterpiece, but it's a very good album. More polished, more mature, more adult-oriented subject matter and themes. It's part of the evolution, and I'm glad to see the Dixie Chicks survived the backlash the media created. Yes, the media created it. Ask 100 people if they support the Dixie Chicks and what they said, and you'll get 90 "Yes" answers. However, the media portrayed them as poison. You can fool the American public for awhile, but not indefinitely. Rock on, Chicks!Free Music Review: Very Very Happy

Free Music Review: Deep, Sing-Along, Feel
Hit: 4 Stars
My 9-year old and I both listen to this CD and sing along. It can be quite deep, a la "Shut Up & Sing." Some of the songs are angry. Generally I don't listen to angry music anymore, but the Chicks have an anger here that comes from a space of healing and love. Quality lyrics, quality musicians.Free Music Review: last laugh

From the opening acoustic guitar strums of the title track, all the way to their chart-topping and Grammy-sweeping triumph over the forces of ignorance, censorship, and hate-mongering, the Dixie Chicks make their point with this album, the highlight of their already spectacular career: in an ugly world, the only true protest IS beauty.
The Dixies are the real thing. Their recordings are snapshots of their greatness, rather than excercises in overdubbing, sweetening, ghost musicianship, and all the other studio trickery routinely practiced by imposters in order to turn tin skillis into platinum sales. Their live performances prove it, and in this way they resemble their Irish brethren the Corrs, with whom they share a similar instrumental lineup and a talent for soaring harmonies. From different starting points(country and Irish trad), the two bands arrive at pop crossover immortality. The Dixies may have taken the long way around, but like the Corrs, they've made it all the way home.
