Editorial Review:
Recorded during their controversial 2003 tour, these two discs romp through an ample sampling of hits ("Wide Open Spaces," "There's Your Trouble," "Goodbye Earl," "Travelin' Soldier") as well as beloved album cuts ("Hello Mr. Heartache," "Some Days You Gotta Dance"). Twangy and cheeky all the way, the group rides an energy wave that continues through the stunning two-song encore of "Top of the World" and "Sin Wagon." Yet as powerful as the full-band performances are, the trio's true essence emerges during the acoustic moments--"White Trash Wedding," "Ready to Run," and "Lil' Jack Slade" among them--as well as the Texas shuffler "Hello Mr. Heartache." Some acts might have tried to gloss over a flap like the one Natalie Maines's anti-Bush administration remarks caused. Not here. Patty Griffin's "Truth No. 2" (from the Chicks' Home album) faces that issue head-on. But beyond the political tempests--and Music Row's still-bruised feelings over their contractual firefights with their label--this collection affirms one truth: the Chicks remain the best hope of bringing country into the 21st century with postmodern vitality and its traditions intact. --Rich Kienzle
Top of the World Tour Reviews:
Dixie chicks 
2008-09-22 - I love love love this cd. This is my second copy of this cd. I wore the first one out. They are truly amazing. I hope you can also watch " Shut up and Sung." It is wonderful. The girls are wonderful. I feel like I have a bond with them. And I can't wait to see what they have for us next :)
Love the Live CD
2008-02-17 - I love the live version of the well known Dixie Chicks tunes. Great CD.
Dixie Chix
2007-08-24 - OK! So the Dixie Chix put their foot in their mouth. Yes, we have freedom of speach, and along with it comes taking the flac from what you say. And they have been hailed on mightily. I would recommend the DVD they made about the incident. They have paid heavily for this, but they have also gone on. Country won't have them, but there are a lot different kinds of music lovers out there. I enjoy their music, I enjoy their lyrics, I enjoy their sense of humor. I very much enjoyed this CD. If you liked their music before, you will still like them on this CD.
Top of the world ~ views from all sides
2007-04-14 - Regardless if you love or hate what natalie had to say about Bush. Your can never say these ladies dont have guts and the sure will to not ever play nice. Natalie and the dixie chicks may never play nice. Strong will's in country music dont come around much. The music on this audio cd is strong, full or spite, to the point and in your face. Why hide the fact you live in a free country. Where as of today, Bush still hasnt taken away our right to free speech. The songs are all chart burners and a wonderful full range of musically talented songs.
Chicks On Top of the World
2007-04-10 - I'm new to the Dixie Chicks, but they have become one of my top artists. First I got "Long Way Home" and like it so well that I rented the Top of the World tour video. Then I had to have the CD. This is a great CD.
Try it, you'll like it.
