Dixie Chicks Still Not Ready to Make Nice

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

In addition to record, song and album of the year, the Dixie Chicks picked up awards for best country performance by a duo or group as well as best country album.

Dixie Chicks member Natalie Maines acknowledged that some Grammy voters may have been attracted to the political back story surrounding the album "Taking the Long Way," which addressed the fallout from her 2003 comments about George W. Bush.

"It's hard to put into words, but I'm definitely aware we were up against a lot of great music," she said backstage at the Grammys. "I love our record and think it's the best one we made. I definitely think people had inspiration and motivation behind voting us to win five of five. It's unbelievable, and I think people were using their voices."

The consensus from an informal poll of major- and medium-market country radio programmers holds that the trio's winning album, "Taking the Long Way," and single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," were strong recordings that deserved recognition.
