Natalie Maines

Natalie Maines explains to The Boot about how the Dixie Chicks song "Silent House" came to be.

I guess Lubbock still has some type of burr under its saddle for hometown girl Natalie Maines. The superstar appeared on The Simpsons last night with little to no fanfare in her hometown.

The Lubbock-born singer is making headlines for saying she's ashamed that Texas Senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is from America.

Susan Gibson, the mastermind behind the Dixie Chicks' mega-hit "Wide Open Spaces," will be part of The Traveling Red River Song Writers Tour.

The Dixie Chicks will tour North America for the first time in a decade next spring and summer.

After being inducted into the West Texas Walk of Fame, Natalie Maines and her father performed a stirring rendition of the Dixie Chicks song "Wide Open Spaces."

The Dixie Chicks singer says it was her family that helped seal the deal on her coming back home for the West Texas Walk of Fame induction ceremony.

Singer Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks and writer, actress and artist Jo Harvey Allen were inducted into the West Texas Walk of Fame Thursday afternoon.

The Dixie Chicks singer will be in town for Thursday's West Texas Walk of Fame induction ceremony.

Taylor Swift brought one of her childhood idols, Lubbock-born singer Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks, onstage to perform with her Monday night in California.

Say what you want (Lord knows Natalie Maines does), but the Dixie Chicks are one of the best bands of-all-time; and may be the best female band ever. Country or not. And everyone loves 'em some Robert Earl Keen. Today the Wall Street Journal posted a new duet from former Dixie Chick, Natalie Maines and Keen, called Wayfaring Stranger.

Dixie Chicks star Natalie Maines has never been one to stand quietly in the corner and keep her opinions to herself. The singer's tell-it-like-it-is style was an important part of the Texas-based trio's enormous success, and was also an important element in their undoing. Now the brash singer is at it again, likening the treatment she's received from country music fans to spousal abuse.
