The Sisters From The Dixie Chicks Release “Court Yard Hounds”
Posted by Te-see on May 19th, 2010
The Dixie Chicks, sisters Emily Robinson and Martie Maguire have taken a big step by releasing an album without lead vocalist Natalie Maines Pasdar. According to the sisters, they were getting rather anxious during their 4 year hiatus, wanting to get back into the studio. For Emily it was even more urgent because she needed something to focus on after her divorce from country singer Charlie Robinson in 2008. So, the sisters started writing…Hence, Court Yard Hounds…
As children growing up in Addison, Texas, Martie and Emily learned to play multiple instruments, including guitar, banjo, and violin. Their parents pushed them at age 12 and 10 to do bluegrass shows together which eventually led to forming the Dixie Chicks in 1995 with Natalie as lead vocalist. They have won 13 Grammy’s as well as selling 30 million albums. Their new solo album Court Yard Hounds, is filled with acoustic, rock, country and folk elements. Martie told BSW that her sister Emily just kept sending her song after song that she had written over a two year span. The Sisters will be on tour this summer with The Eagles. Their album will debut on May 4, 2010.
Look out, these two working mom’s have musically inclined children as well and from what BSW has heard, they have formed their own band and who knows…they might be bigger than the Dixie Chicks…
