The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, are an American country music group that was formed in 1989. The original lineup consisted of sisters Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison, along with lead singer Natalie Maines. They achieved commercial success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with their crossover pop-country sound.
The group gained controversy and faced backlash in 2003 after Natalie Maines made critical comments about then-US President George W. Bush during a London concert. This led to a significant decline in their popularity and radio airplay. Despite the backlash, they remained active and continued to release music.
In 2020, the trio formally changed their name to The Chicks, dropping the "Dixie" from their name in response to the growing awareness of racial issues and the association of the word "Dixie" with the Confederate South.
Over the years, The Chicks have won numerous awards, including 13 Grammy Awards, and have sold over 33 million albums worldwide. They are known for their strong vocal harmonies, socially conscious lyrics, and their mix of country, pop, and rock influences. Some of their popular songs include "Wide Open Spaces," "Not Ready to Make Nice," and "Goodbye Earl."
