Looks like I stand corrected on the Dixie Chicks, they have a new album coming out. Their new song, "Not Ready to Make Nice" is about everything that has happened.
With Rick Rubin too

I'm still searching for the acoustic version of "Carl Perkins' Cadillac". I only heard it once, but it haunts me to this day.

Rodney Crowell is in that group, too. Funny song.

The new album is not great, but it has a couple of incredible songs that make the album worth it. Also, if you haven't heard Patterson Hood's solo record, I recommend that highly. Belinda Carlisle Diet is hilarious.

You might want to check out The Star Room Boys if you haven't already. It's more neo-traditional, but they are great.

I have and really like This World Just Won't Leave Us Alone. I have meant to pick up their first record for a long time and just never have.

Another underrated band that I really like is Richmond Fontaine. Their album Post to Wire is great.

They are really good although sometime they play w/out the pedal steel player and it's nt quite as interesting.

The first time I saw the DBT's [ before Gangstabilly was released ] they were touring with the Star Room Boys and sharing the drummer and bass player. The Truckers have been my favorite band ever since.

Re: Favorite Group In Country Music?

The Dixie Chicks are cool now. They dissed the man. The authority figure.

Cue Rick Rubin and undoubtely a song about their traumatic experience.

Frankly I think it's absurd anyone cared what they said.

What were they when they were selling all those CD's before they dissed the man?

I mean other than good role models for girls who were interested in music.
