Forget the platform sneakers and safety pins--under all that glitz and glitter, the Dixie Chicks are one heckuva country group. The group sings, plays, and writes beautifully on their sophomore release, FLY. Thankfully, crossover success hasn't taken the country out of the Chicks--Martie Seidel's fiddle and mandolin and Emily Robison's banjo and dobro are still front-and-center in all the arrangements. Natalie Maines' powerful voice wrings every drop of emotion out of a ballad like "Let Him Fly," and then turns on a dime to blast through the "Hole in My Head."
But in addition to some fine playing and singing, FLY also finds the Chicks reaching new heights as songwriters. The five tracks for which the group takes writing credits are among the best on the CD, especially the lilting, Irish-flavored "Ready to Run" and the heart-wrenching breakup song "Without You." For comic relief, the Chicks offer their own "Sin Wagon," about a disgruntled wife out to break her marriage vows with a little "mattress dancin'." And while the group may have raised eyebrows at the outset by adopting the slogan "Chicks Kick Ass," FLY proves the Chicks are capable of doing the near impossible: living up to their own hype.

Rolling Stone (9/16/99, p.115) - 3.5 stars (out of 5) - "...They're the most fun you can have on country radio these days, bringing a sisterly zest to their celebrations of hell-raising country gals who know how to rip out a man's heart and use it to fix a flat..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/10/99, pp.149-50) - "...takes a giant leap in establishing the [them] as serious, fully developed writers and musicians....the new tunes are a beguiling mix of deep-dish country-bluegrass, infused with progressive country, folk, and rock..." - Rating: A-
Q (11/99, p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Their trump card is Natalie Maines, a tiny woman whose voice packs all the power of a rottweiller's jaws....and when sister's Emily Erwin and Martie Seidel slide in their harmonies, even the sturdiest of spines should be tingling in gratitude..."
Dirty Linen (2-3/00, p.81) - "...Tracks that bear repeated listening: the radio-friendly 'Ready To Run,' 'Cowboy Take Me Away,' 'Hole in My Head' and the refreshingly ol' fashioned 'Hello Mr. Heartache'....Some great material finds a home on FLY..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/99, p.116) - "...retains the gloss and modernity to appeal to the [Shanaia] Twain fraternity, but enough traditionalism seeps through to gain the respect of Opry regulars..."

"The Way You Love Me" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Song.
With her third album, FAITH, Faith Hill tasted pop crossover success--and she evidently liked the taste. BREATHE, Hill's fourth release, takes the pop/country stylings of FAITH to the next level. It's an appealing collection of pop, gospel, R&B, rock, and ballads, with just a bit of country thrown in. The production, featuring Hill's big voice surrounded by booming drums and screaming guitars, is so slick you could skate on it.
Love is the subject of nearly every song, from the exuberant "I Got My Baby," to the soulful "Love Is a Sweet Thing," to the cutesy "The Way You Love Me," with its Beatlesque backing vocals. But while Hill can obviously handle a wide range ...

"What A Girl Wants" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Christina Aguilera rocketed to the top of the charts with the smash hit "Genie in a Bottle" from this self-titled debut and placed herself among a leading generation of young, multi-talented pop artists. Like fellow performers Britney Spears, J.C. and Justin of 'N Sync, and actress Keri Russell, who stars in the TV show Felicity, Aguilera is a graduate of the New Mickey Mouse Club television program.
Songs such as "What a Girl Wants" with its guitar-driven melody, and the soulful gospel strain of "So Emotional" show Christina Aguilera's polish. Some of the other tracks that stand out are the powerful "I Turn to You," which was written by Diane Warren; "Reflection," which was produced by Matthew ...

Following her smash hit THE WOMAN IN ME was no easy task for Shania Twain and husband/producer Mutt Lange. With COME ON OVER the sexy vixen of modern country has carved out a bigger niche for herself that is sure to please her growing throng of fans. With a huge helping of rock and roll added to her country trimmings, Twain proves her success has been no fluke. As a rule, she goes out of her way to break the traditional Nashville mold. Even her songwriting skills are at the forefront; Shania and Mutt co-wrote all the songs on this collection.
Sounding like a disciple of Linda Ronstadt and Tina Turner with a dash of Tanya Tucker, Twain launches into country-club rockers like "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!," "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)," and "Rock This Country!" with a fervor. A guest shot by singer Bryan White adds a touch of drama ...

Fly Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Great album
This cd has some great tracks and has a fun upbeat feel throughout.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Once Again, The Chicks fly high!
With as many chart-toppers as this CD has produced, it is no small wonder that it is so enjoyable to listen to. I find the final song "Let him fly" to be my favorite- I tend to be a purist where music is concerned, although I have to admit that "Cold Day in July" has a certain forbidden appeal! I truly enjoy this CD.

Okay, I dont even listen to country music. I thought i was strictly R&B but i became addicted to this when my friend let me borrow hers. i went out and bought my own and cant stop listening. I'm just really feelin' their songs. Its really helped me to branch out in what i listen to. It's a really great buy.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No DIXIE CHICKS ARE THE BEST! :O)
When I first heard the Dixie Chicks, I knew right away that they were the best country girl group out there. Every one of their songs has meaning behind them, and they write and play their own music. Not to mention that they put on the best country music show I have ever been to. "FLY" is the best cd I have, and I can't wait to see what the next cd will be like. GO DIXIE CHICKS!!!!!!!!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this new cd of theirs. I got it for Christmas, and I can't stop listening to it! My favorite song was Earl cause it is probably somewhat of a real life story. And it almost made me cry after I listened to it. They have beautiful voices, and I usually hate country, but they are one of the only country music artists that i like!
