The album\u2019s quintessential comeback song was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pojL_35QlSI\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Not Ready to Make Nice<\/a>,\u201d and in 2007 it won the Dixie Chicks three Grammy Awards: record of the year, song of the year, and best country performance by a duo or group. When the album came out, Robison had explained why the trio brought in some help to pen the album\u2019s 14 songs. \u201cMartie, Nat and I tended to go back to the same country and bluegrass patterns, so we needed other writers to help us meld that with the new sounds,\u201d she\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/ct-xpm-2006-06-04-0606030274-story.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told me<\/a> at the time. While we don\u2019t have the full track list yet, it\u2019s safe to assume that Maguire, Maines and Strayer have written most of the songs, with or without help. <\/p>\n<p>What we do have now is \u201cGaslighter.\u201d The Dixie Chicks wrote the song with Jack Antonoff, and it\u2019s a classic-but-modern, done-me-wrong song:<em> Gaslighter, denier, doing anything to get your ass farther. Gaslighter, big timer, repeating all the mistakes of your father. We moved to California and followed your dreams. I believed in the promise you made to me. Hollywood welcomed you with open doors, no matter what they gave you you still want it more.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The video was directed by Seanne Farmer. And the album of the same name will be released on May 1. <\/p>\n<p>Since that last album, the band has been relatively quiet in terms of releasing music. (Between the three of them, the Dixie Chicks have nine young children, which would explain their hiatus from the recording studio.) But they have maintained their loyal fan base by touring enough to keep everyone\u2019s interest at an all-time high. In 2006, there was their Accidents &amp; Accusations World Tour. In 2013, there was the Long Time Gone Tour. And from 2016-2017, they hit the road for the DCX MMXVI World Tour. The new music released on March 4 will be followed by a new tour. Details on that coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>The country trio has been on the top of the charts since their 1997 single \u201cThere\u2019s Your Trouble\u201d hit the No. 1 spot on the country charts and then won a Grammy in 1998 for it. Their debut album <em>Wide Open Spaces <\/em>was also named the best country album at that same ceremony.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/05d2VwryTAA?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/05d2VwryTAA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
