Subject: RE: Dixie Chicks Undressed, Unrepentant!
The photo is now part of the cover of the DVD "Shut Up and Sing" a documentary by Barbara Kopple about the reactionary backlash to Natalie Maines' London concert statement.

As to their musicality and complexity as artists--they are maturing very well. I doubt June Carter was near as complex as a music artist at the same age...

Love "Taking the Long Way" CD, btw.

Comparison to Dolly is a good one, though I believe the mold has been broken by the Chicks.

Nice to see they chose to follow their instincts, and not try and ingratiate themselves back into the Nashville fold. Not that they were ever really part of it anyway. Nashville doesn't exactly embrace openly independent women, especialy in-your-face, ribald women like the Chicks. Best thing that ever happened to country music--along with Roseanne, that is.
