Post Description

1998 was a very interesting year for The Dixie Chicks. Close to ten years after Emily Erwin and Martie Seidel formed the group, six years after the release of their first album, and two years after Natalie Maines signed on as lead singer, their fourth album, Wide Open Spaces suddenly made them one of the biggest and most honored groups in country music, selling over six million copies and earning them a shelf-full of honors from the Grammy Awards, the Country Music Awards, and the American Music Awards. This video charts their rise to stardom, from playing on street corners in Dallas to sold-out shows across the country. Dixie Chicks: Unauthorized Bio was produced without the participation of the group or their representatives and does not include any footage of the group performing, or any of their music.
