#28 (1995) Sisters Martie and Emily Erwin, after several years of struggling in a Texas cowgirl trio known as the Dixie Chicks, replace the lead singer with spitfire vocalist Natalie Maines. With Maines on board, the trio updates its look and sound into a modern blend of Texas roots music and rock attitude. By the new millenium, Maines and her newly married partners, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison, mature into country's best-selling group while fighting with their record company for fair compensation for their work.
