I drove across country shortly after getting this cd, and I barely took it out of the cd player the whole way--not sure how many hundreds of times that means I've listened to this! I love the "new" Dixie Chicks, too (sisters Martie and Emily Erwin are the only common thread), but I was curious about their previous sound, and I wasn't disappointed! This is a great record, with a lot of great harmony and, of course, talented ladies playing the heck out of just about every stringed instrument there is.
That said, buy their new records too! Natalie Maines, the lead singer, is witty and expressive, and her beautiful voice goes great with Martie and Emily's fiddle/banjo/mandolin/etc. Laura Lynch and Robin Lynn Macy brought some very different things to the mix, but their departures were largely, if not entirely, their own choices, and I hate to see Natalie punished for that.

I bought this album way before anyone had heard of the Dixie Chicks, and it remains my favorite of theirs. Its bluegrassy instrumentals and honest-sounding vocals are a pleasure to listen to, and there's nothing slick about this cd. I can see why they haven't re-released it, though - it sounds nothing like the present Chicks. Snag one used if you can!

country music fans should get a chance to hear how the dixie chicks sounded like when they had singer/songwriter/guitarist robin macy and singer/bassist laura lynch[now laura lynch tull]and the dixies chicks first cd "thank heavens for dale evans" serves that purpose.

I have been a big Chicks fan since "Fly" and supported them through "the incident". I got to see their recent concert and wanted to hear them from "before". I was not disappointed. This album and their older sound has it's own special, acoustic and bluegrass charm. Glad I got it, the old and new Chicks rule!

This is a must for anyone who collects the Dixie Chicks. I got mine. Good luck getting yours.
