Dixie Krauser

One of the most popular and best-respected acts on the current country music scene, the Dixie Chicks have made a name for themselves by blending the sweet sound of traditional country with the spirit and drive of contemporary pop, while also shattering long-held stereotypes about women as instrumentalists. An Evening With the Dixie Chicks features the group performing 16 songs including all the tracks from their 2002 release Home culled from a pair of concerts taped at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, CA. Selections include "A Home," "Landslide," "White Trash Wedding," "Wide Open Spaces," "Goodbye Earl," and "Sin Wagon."

Free Fall was the Dixie Dregs first record, released in 1977. Overall, many critics consider this album one of the band's best efforts. Free Fall features a good mix of southern rock, bluegrass and jazz styles but sounds more jazz oriented and funky than other Dixie Dregs recordings. "Refried Funky Chicken" is just that–funky–as guitarist/songwriter Steve Morse makes use of a well-oiled wah-wah pedel throughout the tune. "Holiday" has very fluid, rolling feel with drummer Rod Morgenstein and bassist Andy West providing a very tight rhythm backing. "Moe Down" showcases the southern/pickin' sound that the Dregs practically patented. The CD closes with the quiet and fluid "Northern Lights". For a first album, this one is a killer, one of the Dixie Dregs best.

Recorded on June 17, 1979, in Philadelphia, King Biscuit Flower Hour catches the Dixie Dregs at the peak of their career, having released their best studio album What If the previous year.
