Dixie Chicks are what you would call "The Gateway Group" for people who are nervous to venture into country music but are curious what is on the other side. I admire this group of musicians for many reasons: they are talented musicians, accomplished songwriters, strong female role models, and original thinkers. This album is especially dear to me. It has so many beautiful original works plus a stand out remake of Fleetwood Mac's powerful ballad Landslide. The simple, subtle country undertones that are blended into the Chicks' rendition of Landslide perfectly embodies their mastery and craftsmanship as musicians.
