Into The Groove: Dixie Chicks – Home

Arts, Music, Society & Culture

On episode four of Into The Groove, Richard Eric takes a look at one of the biggest all-female bands of all time, the Dixie Chicks. They were the darlings of the country music scene in the late nineties, but just after the release of their 2002 album Home, the group unintentionally became the target of one of the biggest backlashes in music history. By making comments that expressed their shame regarding then-President Bush, the Dixie Chicks angered their conservative fanbase and were blacklisted from radio. This episode delves deep into the album – an acknowledged modern classic – and the controversy that followed in its wake.
