The Dixie Chicks are back with their new album Gaslighter! The Dixie Chicks are Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, and Emily Strayer. They went from being a band to a cultural phenomenon. Since the release of their debut album, WIDE OPEN SPACES, in 1998, the Dixie Chicks' music has resonated with fans worldwide, making them one of the most important and influential bands of our time. Universally recognized as the best-selling American female group of all time, the Dixie Chicks have sold over 30.5 million albums, including several diamond albums. The Dixie Chicks are now called The Chicks. This name change occurred after the album Gaslighter was produced. This is why the old name will still appear on the first CD and vinyl pressings of the band.
