The songs on there are excellent, though the one I wanted was missing, not long enough could have been a lot more of their fabulous music.
Wide Open Spaces is the fourth studio album by American country music band the Dixie Chicks, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music). It was their first record with new lead vocalist Natalie Maines, and became their breakthrough commercial success. It received diamond status by the RIAA on February 20, 2003 in the United States, having shipped 12 million units,[1] while spending more than six years in the Australian ARIA music charts Country Top 20. The album has sold 8,655,000 copies in the United States up to November 2008.[2] At the 41st Grammy Awards, the album was awarded 2 Grammy Awards out of 3 nominations.[3] It was awarded Best Country Album (the first of what would be 4 trophies in this category: they would later win for Fly in 2001, Home in 2003, and Taking the Long Way in 2007.) and for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the song There's Your Trouble. (an award the Chicks would win 5 times: in 2000 for Ready to Run, in 2003 for Long Time Gone, in 2005 for Top of the World and 2007 for Not Ready to Make Nice, a feat only matched by The Judds.) In addition, the Chicks were nominated for Best New Artist. thanx wikipediaRead full review
I love music and I am always buying music from ebay....mostly cds that are a few years old because they are generally super cheap. I saw that the Dixie Chicks have a new album coming out soon and I have their 'Home' album so it gave me the idea of looking for any more albums they had on ebay. I found this one 'Wide open spaces' and bought it. Since I have bought the album I have listened to is several times and learn't the tunes from it but it's the sort of music you have to be in the right mood for...this is the reason I have only given it a rating of good and not excellent.
Became a Dixie Chicks fan recently and I am always playing Taking the Long Way CD (TLW) which is country rock. This CD is more country and although good I don't think it has the variety of TLW or Fly. I think that the 'Chicks' own songs are the best and it is only on TLW that they express themselves fully. If you like Wide Open Spaces and haven't bought TLW get e-baying now!!
Love the wide variety of tracks on this album.Some memorable upbeat songs that get you singing along and tapping your feet like "There's your trouble" or ballads like "you were mine" with its poignant lyrics (in true country style) and beautiful harmonies that take my breath away. Only one track I really don't like; not bad for a 12 track album! Tara from bigali:0)
