Listen Free: Dixie Chicks Hatch Court Yard Hounds
by Deborah Evans Price | May 03, 2010 1:55 EDT
Despite a combined sales total that tops 25 million albums and fame that can
turn off-the-cuff comments into political firestorms, Dixie Chicks Emily
Robison and Martie Maguire aren't relying on their past achievements to drive
sales of their new project, Court Yard Hounds. Instead, the sisters and their
label, Columbia, say they're treating the act-whose self-titled album is out
May 4-like a whole new entity. But some of the deals they're striking would
make many emerging acts green with envy.
Robison and Maguire first decided to record as Court Yard Hounds when Dixie
Chicks lead vocalist Natalie Maines wanted to take more time off and they
were itching to create some new music.
"She knew our feelings about wanting to work and to be honest, it took a lot
of pressure off her. She appreciated not feeling like we were waiting around
for her anymore," Robison says. "We're still the Dixie Chicks and doing
things together, but until we get back in the studio, we recorded this new
music, just the two of us. She was happy for us that we were able to find an
outlet for the stuff that I'd been writing."
The duo took its new moniker from a David Benioff novel Robison had been
reading. "I wanted a well-worn name, one that sounded like it had been around
for a while," Robison says. "There's an excerpt about talent and how it's a
fanatical mistress, how it can be with you at one point and then after a
while it can leave you. It's very relevant for our own lives as far as just
taking advantage of when you are inspired and not letting the time pass you."
The band's summer will be spent on the road, touring as both the Chicks and
the Hounds. The Chicks will be on tour with the Eagles, while the Hounds are
doing Lilith Fair, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and other dates.
"There are a lot of acoustic elements. There are a lot of rock elements, a
lot of country elements and a lot of folk influences for sure," Maguire says
of the group's sound. "Emily just started sending these songs. She had been
writing for about two years on a hiatus."
The band unveiled its live show at South by Southwest in March. "I was a
little bit nervous before we went into it because it's so hard to play your
hometown first," Robison says. "Martie lives in Austin and I live next door
in San Antonio, but once we were onstage it was the right thing to do because
we felt so welcomed and a groundswell of support."
Columbia VP of marketing Scott Greer says the label introduced the new music
by launching a preorder campaign on the band's website that gave consumers
four songs instantly when they ordered the record. "The feeling was we were
building a new band from scratch and going through all the steps that you
would take with a new band in getting the new music out there," he says. "The
girls picked four songs that they felt were representative of the album and
appealed to that core base."
Greer says Sony Legacy will release a Dixie Chicks compilation June 1. "We
will be racking this record alongside that album so we can kind of further
connect the messaging that Emily and Martie from the Dixie Chicks are Court
Yard Hounds," Greer says, adding that first single "The Coast" will be worked
to triple A and Americana formats.
Since Maguire and Robison are working mothers, the label is also targeting
such "mom blogs" as MomsLife.com. They have been doing weekly webisodes on a
number of sites.
The duo will appear on "Good Morning America," "Late Night With Jimmy
Fallon," "Late Show With David Letterman," "The View," "The Ellen DeGeneres
Show," "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" and other major TV outlets. "Each
day the girls do a TV show, we're going to take a photo of what they are
wearing and then their website is going to direct fans to iDeeli.com, a
female online clothing store, where you can buy their look," Greer says.
"There's the special of the day and it can be bundled with the record."
"We were definitely excited about that because we shop on sites like
iDeeli.com," says Maguire, who notes that fans often ask where they buy their
clothing. "That's basically how I shop now because Austin is not known for
its great shops, and being busy moms, that's how we find things."

美中不足的是，抬望眼，總看見園中西隅，
剩下的那兩棵義大利柏樹中間，露出一塊楞楞的空白來，
缺口當中，映著湛湛青空，悠悠白雲，
那是一道女媧煉石也無法彌補的天裂。
