Title: Don't Miss!
Review: Nearly four years after their last studio album "Home" and a little more than three years after "the incident" The Dixie Chicks return. Not content to continue on the path they had been on for several years the sound here is different from what we've come accustom to from the trio. The arrangements find the banjos and fiddles still very much in the mix, but less prominent than before and producer Rick Rubin, while avoiding an overly slick sounds (the is NOT a Shania Twain album and for that we can all be grateful) does give them more of a rock polish.Chick fans who might be wary of such a shift can rest easy -- the trio's trademark harmonies are still in abundance here and shine through on virtually every track. The first few listens might disappoint someone expecting another "Home," or "Wide Open Spaces," but the patient listen will be amply rewarded. This is first rate stuff.
