>From the Sony site, this is as close as they get to mentioning former
incarnations of the band:
>The origin of Dixie Chicks came one summer day in 1989 when 19-year-old
Martie, 16-year-old Emily and two other original members took their
instruments to a downtown Dallas street corner to play for tips>
>...snip
Dixie Chicks were a Lone Star State sensation from the get-go. Between 1990
and 1994 they recorded three independently marketed CDs to sell at shows.
Virtually overnight, the group was opening for Garth Brooks, George Jones,
Alan Jackson, George Strait and Emmylou Harris; winning the Dallas
Observer's Best Country Band award four straight times and appearing
everywhere from the Opry to the Presidential Inaugural Gala.>snip
Still seems to me they are working hard to low profile the original sound
which begs the question, WHY. It's not like the CD's were horrible or
something. Just a different sound. Are they afraid the current audience
will find out they know how to play bluegrass and traditional country?
