DickersonThe Dixie Chicks are an overnight sensation--and it only took ten years.Little does the public know, the popular band The Dixie Chicks were fighting for their recognition on a Dallas street corner long before hitting it big with the record companies in Nashville.Author James L. Dickerson follows the Chicks' journey from the streets to the top of the music sales charts in his new book Dixie Chicks: Down-Home and Backstage .The Dixie Chicks, Dickerson points out, hold a prominent position in the music business as one of only two female bands that have succeeded in the pop charts in the 1990s.Today, their sassy attitudes, funky style of dress, and updated bluegrass/country music attract fans like bees to honey, not unlike their past days of playing on the streets.Through talks with fans of the Dixie Chicks, former members (there are two, named Robin and Laura), and members of the music industry, Dickerson gives the reader an insider's view on the history of this famous group.With electric subject matter, lots of cool photos, and a straightforward writing style, Dickerson's book keeps your eyes glued to the pages as you get the real story behind those amazing Chicks.--Emily Zibart for A Closer Look", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/87/833/189/0878331891_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.95", "online_price" : "16.95", "our_price" : "16.95", "club_price" : "16.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
