Vehicle For Dissertation

Books I read, music I hear...My imperious opinion on both.

Home - Dixie Chicks


I really didn't know that this group would have so many songs I liked. I'd heard Landslide and Travelin' Soldier back when they were "hits" but nothing else...Until hearing Top of the World in "the usual way". That one got me to looking for the CD at the library...

I'd say that Home is more folk and less country than what I expected to hear. Which is quite a good thing for me. They've even got Chris Thile playing mandolin on a couple of these songs (A Home, More Love & the instrumental only, Lil' Jack Slade). Speaking of the mandolin...I like the instrumentation throughout the album, mandolin and otherwise. My top four are most likely:

Top of the World

Landslide

Travelin' Soldier

A Home

And I'll give an honorable mention to Godspeed since rather liked it as well.

(Note: The links open with Windows Media Player. A couple are the full song, which aren't quite what's on the CD, and some are partial clips. All links I found "out there").
