Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks completed a defiant comeback on Sunday night, capturing five Grammy awards after being shunned by the country music establishment over the group's anti-Bush comments leading up to the Iraq invasion. The Texas trio won all the biggest categories, including record and song of the year for the no-regrets anthem "Not Ready to be nice".
The Dixie Chicks is a female country music trio from the United States of America comprising Emily Robison, Martie Maguire and Natalie Maines. They are one of the highest-selling female groups in any musical genre, having sold 30 million albums as of June 2006.
The group formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas. After years of struggle and personnel changes, the Dixie Chicks achieved massive country and pop success starting in the late 1990s with hit songs such as "Wide Open Spaces," "Cowboy Take Me Away," and "Long Time Gone." The group became well-known for their lively persona, instrumental virtuosity, fashion sense, and outspoken political comments. As of 2007, they had won 13 Grammy Awards, and are the first country-rooted act in Grammy history to receive three Album of the Year.
