Editorial Review:
After the roaring success of Wide Open Spaces--a blend of turn-of-the-century pop and country traditionalism--what do you do for an encore? Rather than deliver more of the same, the Chicks have chosen instead to up the ante in country radio with a follow-up that's both poppier and twangier than its predecessor, and just plain better too. Some of it we've heard before: "Hello Mr. Heartache," for example, adheres pretty closely to the honky-tonk model of "Tonight the Heartache's On Me." Mostly, though, the record lights out for new territories. "Without You" is driven by an in-your-face string arrangement that's downright fierce, and the rootsy "Sin Wagon" may rock harder--and with more solos--than any mainstream country since Buck Owens held forth. That's not to say Fly's perfect. A couple of songs miss the mark, particularly "Goodbye Earl," an abusive-husband murder song that's sure to get criticized (wrongly) for being anti-male but actually fails because it can't decide if it's a moral lesson, a horror movie, or a joke. Still, even in this failure, the Chicks are bravely pushing the envelope. If they push hard enough, maybe Young Country radio will open up some wider spaces. --David Cantwell
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Amazing.
This is the first CD I bought of the dixie chicks, and nothing compares to this album. It's amazing and I love every song. My favorite song on this album is "Fly", the lyrics are wonderful. This CD is a great cd to sing to in the car.
Rating:  - Pleasantly Pleased....
I don't listen to much country...but, I did enjoy listening to the 'Chicks', & I do recommend it....enjoy!!
Rating: - My favorite DC CD
Excellent CD by the Dixie Chicks. This particular CD is by far their best. It's very upbeat with excellent sound quality. The CD is encoded with each song's title and the CD title if your CD player has the display capability.
I have Wide Open Spaces (second favorite), Home, Top of the World and Takin' the Long Way. Fly is still my personal favorite.
Even if you're not a country music fan, this is still very entertaining.
Rating: - Excellent follow up from the Chicks
This is a great sophmore effort. This album is a bit harder and edgier than the first one, and the Chicks pull it off well. Country with a broader appeal. Good tunes are many:
Ready to Run
If I Fall - great faster number with cool scraping fiddles
Earl - a great rhythm and lyrics. Is about a woman and her friend "disposing" of a violent brute of a husband. Of course the song does not advocate premeditated murder. Get a grip. It's just a revenge fantasy ... Read More
