The Dixie Chicks

Like a modern-day version of the Mandrell sisters, the Dallas-based Dixie Chicks feature Natalie Maines (25) on lead vocals and sisters Martie Seidel (30) on fiddle, mandolin and vocals and Emily Robison (27) on dobro, banjo, guitar and vocals. With their intelligent, funny songs that deal with themes of independence and freedom, this trio has jumped out of the country arena to become one of the most successful crossover acts around. Still, despite their widespread commercial appeal, the Chicks haven't abandoned their country roots. Unlike poppier contemporaries Shania Twain and Faith Hill, the Chicks play a variety of traditional instruments and incorporate bluegrass, Western swing and Irish folk music into their songs and hint at some of Willie Nelson's rebelliousness and Charlie Daniels' fire.
