Dixie Chicks Record New Song, Eye Future Plans
by Gary Graff, Detroit | ?? 22, 2010 4:12 EDT
The Dixie Chicks are getting together to record again -- but not like that.
The Texas trio, which has been on hiatus since 2007, has been tapped by
actor-comic-musician Steve Martin to sing on a track for the followup to his
Grammy Award-winning 2009 bluegrass album, "The Crow: New Songs For the
5-String Banjo."
"It was right up our alley, because we are looking for projects that are fun
and exciting and different, and that's just something that's perfect," Martie
Maguire -- who's currently on the road with her sister and fellow Chick Emily
Robison in their other band, Court Yard Hounds -- tells Billboard.com. "Of
course we said yes to begin with, but then he sent the song and it's really
good, so we're really excited. I think we assumed we were going to play, but
he's got this amazing bluegrass band (the Steep Canyon Rangers), so we're
just harmonizing."
But Maguire and Robison are circumspect as to whether the Martin project will
jump-start some future Chicks activity and perhaps lead to the group's first
album since 2006's "Taking the Long Way."
"We just kind of [take] one thing at a time as far as opportunities from the
outside," says Robison. "I think we're excited to start writing again and
getting new songs for whatever project they happen to be for. But [the
Chicks] had a lot of fun in June playing with the Eagles, so I would dare say
that in the next nine months we'll be doing something, one way or another."
Meanwhile, Court Yard Hounds is keeping Robison and Maguire fully engaged.
The sisters and their band are currently on a short run with Lilith Fair and
also have a handful of additional shows booked. They're also planning an
Australian tour for late October and November.
Meanwhile, in August they plan to film a video for "See You in the Spring," a
collaboration with Jakob Dylan that's slated to be the next single from the
"Court Yard Hounds" debut album -- which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard
200 in May. So far, they say, the duo is pleased with how the endeavor is
being received.
"It's really good," notes Robison. "We wanted to do this to have fun, without
any expectations other than to pay for itself and have fun, and I think we've
reached both those goals. We feel very lucky in a lot of ways."
Robison says the hardest thing about being in Court Yard Hounds is having
just one album from which to construct a set list, although the group has
been playing an unreleased song tentatively called "Caged Bird," as well as a
cover of Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight."
And, Maguire adds, being able to keep doing music keeps the two of them
primed and in good working shape whenever other opportunities comes along.
"I feel like Court Yard Hounds keeps us idling," she explains. "I think Emily
and I function better when we're continually making music and playing, and
this is a way to keep doing that. So we're idling, and when Natalie says
jump, we're ready to jump and do the Dixie Chicks thing again, too. It makes
us all fulfilled and happy that way, I think."

等待之中他說我們盼望什麼事情竟能盼望到使自己與失望為伍?
此時遲到五分鐘的女子進來了。他說他運氣真差,剛好被她看到他正在看錶。
他聽到她的聲音說:「對不起,我搭公車來,路上交通很糟。」
他說,「地鐵比較快。」她說,「我知道,可是我不想要快。」
