Dixie Chicks - Taking the Long Way

So did I! 
Well, it was loaned to me from a friend, not a gift, having just been released here in Australia. They certainly have some voices!
Also, lyrics to "Not Ready to Make Nice" gives me impression that the Dixie Chicks have been rather vocal about particular things in the past and have received various threats.

That is correct, or at least that was the story reported in the mainstream media.Nathan said:

I liked the Dixie Chicks' previous albums so I'll definitely be picking this one up. :)

Following in the bootsteps of other Nashville renegades who eventually outgrew country radio, the Dixie Chicks answer their critics with the unapologetic Taking the Long Way. Their seventh studio album embraces the depth and fury of classic rock while remaining true to the trio's Texas roots. Rather than try to forget about singer Natalie Maines' anti-Bush remarks of 2003 -- which landed them in hot water with a lot of station program directors -- the threesome declares it's still "Not Ready to Make Nice" and employs Semisonic guy Dan Wilson, Jayhawk Gary Louris and other unlikely contributors to help write hooks as strong as their own sentiments.
Producer Rick Rubin enlists Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench and guitarist Mike Campbell to supply thick and gritty accompaniment that raises the urgency level of the album. If you've dismissed the Chicks or need a new reason to love them, the epic, howling longing of "Voice Inside My Head" will blow your expectations.
