	Texas Rainmaker » Dixie Chicks Learn the Difference Between Censorship and Capitalism
		Last nite on the popular NBC drama, “Medium,” one of the songs from the new album played throughout the episode; so often, in fact, it seemed the episode was written to enhance the music, rather than the other way around.
		Inviting the Dixie Chicks to the White House would not be making up with “some shrills.” It would demonstrate he’s not sealed off from his opposition, that he recognizes them as part of the American family.
		Back in 2003, the Dixie Chicks alienated a good portion of their fan base when lead singer Natalie Maines told a London concert audience that she was embarrassed to be from the same state as President George W. Bush.

		The song is a walkaround, which originally began with a few minstrels acting out the lyrics, only to be joined by the rest of the company (a dozen or so individuals for the Bryants).
		On 18 February 1861, the song took on something of the air of national anthem when it was played at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis, arranged as a quickstep by Hermann Arnold, and possibly for the first time as a band arrangement.
		In 1888 the publishers of a Boston songbook included "Dixie" as a "patriotic song", and in 1895 the Confederate Veterans' Association suggested a celebration in honor of "Dixie" and Emmett in Washington as a bipartisan tribute.

		The name Dixie was popularized in the minstrel song 'Dixie's Land." Dixie is not defined by the negatives of the past but a way of life and a love of family, good will and relaxed pleasures that soothe the soul and make for a less harried life.
		Dixie is a land not only of cotton but of supreme hospitality, consideration and respect for others, stately homes and absolutely beautiful country.
		The song has the flavor of both jazz and ragtime and that is surely due to the talents of Robinson who wrote a number of popular rags in the early 20th century.

	Model Interpretation
		“Dixie” (1859), a familiar song from the nineteenth century, was composed and performed by Dan Emmett (a white native of Ohio) in 1859 when he was a member of the Bryant’s Minstrels troupe in New York City.
		The chorus to “Dixie” (“I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!” etc.), tells us what we already know: that sectionalism and slavery were important issues in American politics in 1859, particularly in defining the distinctness of the South and the North.
		Even so, “Dixie” remained one of Abraham Lincoln’s favorite songs and he requested it be played for him a few days before his assassination, saying “I have always thought ‘Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard.

		Probably the most famous Civil War era song was Julia Ward Howe’s "Battle Hymn of the Republic", which used the tune of the abolitionist song, "John Brown’s Body".
		Students will probably look at the first stanza of the song as the most significant, with lyrics like "I wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten" as indication that the south had sentimental value to soldiers who might be fighting in battle, and hopefully fighting in the north.
		While the first verse and chorus of "Dixie" are well known, the rest of the song is not.

		The Dixie Chicks own enormously successful headlining tour in support of Fly in 2000 proved that country acts could sell out arenas as they drew eclectic and diverse crowds and were fronted by their own musical favorites, including Willie Nelson, Ricky Scaggs and Patty Griffin.
		Emily said, "You've got to hear this song" and she played it for me. I instantly thought it was one of the best songs he had ever written.
		We got both of those songs from an album of hers that was never released which was a shame for her, but good for us because we got to record two of her songs that nobody has heard before.

	'Dixie' now too symbolic of old South, not of origins
		Because "Dixie" is now synonymous with slavery, racism and hatred, the music historians say, it was wise for the Woodland Hills School District to postpone this week's scheduled marching band performance of a Civil War program that included the song.
		The irony about "Dixie" is that the five-verse song was written by a Northerner with little interest in politics, and whose parents were strict abolitionists.
		There are long-standing rumors that Emmett actually may have acquired "Dixie" from brothers Ben and Lew Snowden, members of a fl family that moved to Mount Vernon from Virginia.

		Trying songs out on the audience is a time-tested way of figuring out which ones have hit potential, so it's not surprising that the album has spawned a string of Top 40 hits.
		The fiddle intro to the song is pulled almost directly from the title cut of Shouldn't A Told You That, and the banjo and fiddle play a prominent part throughout.
		This is another song that would have benefitted from Tommy's lighter touch on the electric guitar, but it does score points for some nice twang on the banjo and a little fiddle on the chorus.

		Dixie Land first appeared in the text of Daniel Emmett's song "Jonny Roach" in 1859; in the same year he also wrote a song called "Dixie's Land." There are no print references before that.
		It does seem that Emmett's song helped to popularize a term that was already being used by Northerners to refer to the South.
		As Emmett told his biographer in 1872: "'Dixie's Land' is an old phrase applied to the Southern States...lying south of Mason and Dixon's line.
