Review

Y'all remember that summer when The Chicks' "Fly" took to the skies and just wouldn't come down? That was 1999, a time when the radio waves were practically begging for something as fresh and spirited as this album. It wasn't just any release; it was a declaration from The Chicks (back when they were still sporting 'Dixie' in their name) that they were here to shake things up, mixing the old-school twang of the fiddle and banjo with a sound that was as contemporary as it was country.

"Fly" wasn't just chart-topping for the heck of it; this album had soul, and it showed in every note. With over 10 million copies sold in the U.S. and a couple of Grammys to boot, The Chicks were speaking a language that crossed state lines and generational gaps. You couldn't help but sing along to "Ready to Run" and "Cowboy Take Me Away," tunes that became the soundtrack to countless backroad adventures and porch-sitting sessions. The beauty of "Fly" lies in its ability to honor the traditions of country music while saddling up to a more modern sound, making it an album that feels like an old friend, even on your first listen. - Wade
