Dixie Chicks - 2 out of 3 aint bad

I don't know about you, but we Varmints have always been partial to a bit of the Dixie Chicks.

Sadly, following a triumphant showing at the 2007 Grammys (5 awards) after a pretty turbulent 2 or 3 years, little has been heard from / seen of them.

That now appears to be changing - Marty Maguire & Emily Robison announced about an hour ago - via Facebook - their new outfit, The Court Yard Hounds, a new album and a couple of dates.

Both are quick to emphasise that this does not spell the end of the Chicks.

Anyway, go here to get a feel for what they're all about - http://www.courtyardhounds.com(note: the website, whilst v. attractive does some to be having some "bedding-in" issues).

... and naturally, the Varmints have already made our initial pitch for an interview! (Tripsy:  I think we may need you to chaperone Rob V  - you know what he was like with J S-T)
