The road leading away from Home, the Dixie Chicks' acclaimed 2002 return to straight-ahead country, proved to be quite rocky for the Texan trio, largely due to anti-George W. Bush and antiwar comments lead singer Natalie Maines made during the long crawl to the 2003 Iraqi War.

 The Dixie Chicks' Home album-recording the new Dixie Chicks Bluegrass CD
[The Chicks also wrote some of the material on those albums.] Paul and Blake had years of experience in the studio, and while we did the arranging, they were the constant thread throughout the album-making process, while we'd do interviews during the mix.
