And the Dixie Chicks Get Grammy Nominations
CNN: The Dixie Chicks may have been "Not Ready to Make Nice," but the Recording Academy was nice to the country-pop trio, giving them nominations in the top three categories for the 49th annual Grammy Awards.
The Chicks were nominated for album of the year for their CD "Taking the Long Way," as well as record of the year and song of the year (a songwriter's award) for their single "Not Ready to Make Nice."
The group suffered a boycott from some country music radio stations in the aftermath of lead singer Natalie Maines' 2003 comments about President George W. Bush. The new album is more rock-oriented and was mostly ignored by country outlets. However, it did receive a Grammy nomination for best country album. -- via Mia Culpa
