I don’t really see where I have any choice. According to the Washington Post story on the album, the trio – Emily Robison, Natalie Maines, and Martie McGuire – “collaborated on the album’s 14 songs with more than a half-dozen writers, including Sheryl Crow, Neil Finn, alt-country godhead Gary Louris and Dan Wilson of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare.”

Okay, you tempted me with Dan Wilson, you had my curiosity legitimately piqued with Gary Louris…but Neil Finn, too? Dammit. I had a really good run going of not owning any Dixie Chicks. Oh, well, at least my wife likes country, so I can make false claims that I really bought it for her…
