The Dixie Chicks are in Los Angeles recording a new album with producer Rick Rubin. No release date has been pegged for the Open Wide/Columbia set, which will be the follow-up to 2002's "Home." As previously reported, Rubin recently produced the next Columbia album from veteran vocalist Neil Diamond, due this summer.

“Home” debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 5.8 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The Chicks have been off the road since a run on last fall's Vote for Change tour. Earlier this month, group member Emily Robison gave birth two twins named Julianna and Henry.

I have no idea since I've never seen anything with Paris Hilton in it and sincerely hope I never do. Rick Rubin is perhaps best known for his work with the Beastie Boys, Run DMC and helping to resurrect Johnny Cash's career begining with American Recordings back in the early 90s.

I was just wondering the other day if the Dixie Chicks where still together. I wouldn't know because the radio station here still doesn't play any of there music.

They're actually needs to be more artists like them that aren't afraid to speak their minds. Thankfully the "book burning" approach the media took failed miserably, their concerts still continued to sell out and lots of radio stations (despite what the media reported) still play their music. How convienent it would be if the any voice could be silenced that people don't approve but thankfully this is still a democracy and they (and anyone else) should have to right to say what they damn well please.

Actually we're supposed to be a republic, not a democracy.

But still, people were most p*** not about what they said, but where they did it...on foreign soil. It's one thing to stand in front of fellow Americans and say it, but to go to another country and talk sh*t...that p*** a lot of people off. Personally, I don't care one way or the other. I don't care what any nutjob celebrity thinks they have the right to use their popularity to speak their ignorant opinion. Being famous doesn't make them an expert on foreign affairs or any politics in general...but they all act like they know what's going on. I wish they'd all keep their mouth shut. That's why they're on tv or hte radio, to entertain, to play music. Not run their mouths about politics. If you're an actor (or has-been like Tim Robbins), then act. If you're a singer (has-been Madonna), then sing. But keep your damn politics out of it.

They (or anybody) should be able to say whatever they want, where ever they want. I also not one that believes that just because they are entertainers that it makes their point of view any less valid. As long as there's been music politics has been tied to it in one way or another (going all the way back to Woody Guthrie and even before that), same thing goes for other forms of entertainment.

No... You're thinking of Rick Salamon.

Rick Rubin is as Jah suggests, one of the best producers EVER. He worked recently with Weezer on their new album and he produced Jay-Z's song "99 problems"... he has one of the most diverse resumes in the music industries as far as artists he's produced.

I guess it mostly annoys me because I just KNOW there's a ton of brainless morons out there who will get all their political knowledge from Madonna

Don't forget though, most of this backlash to the Dixie Chicks occurred because Country music is largely, damn near entirely, a conservative group. Also a very patriotic group of people...them country folk, especially southerners, take that very seriously (be it right or wrong).

I'm sure that goes on to a degree but I hope those folks are in the minority.

I know plenty of folks that are also patriotic but it doesn't make anyone any less patriotic for questioning the actions of the government or speaking out against them. In fact, I always believed those were the very things our nation was founded upon.

It absolutely is and I agree.

However, just because a person has the right to speak out and against whatever they want, that does NOT protect them from the consequences of their actions. They have the right to say what they want, we (the consumers) have the right to not buy their albums or whatever if we choose. That's the funniest thing about the situation...they thought there should be no backlash or consequences for hteir actions.

AND THEY DON'T WANT HIM BACK!!!!!

I don't have a problem with Bu$h supporters not buying their records. And who could blame them when they had an anthem like Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue" and Darryl Worley's utterly confused ballad, "Have You Forgotten" to spend their heard earned money on. Personally, I wouldn't buy John Asscroft's "Let the Eagle Soar" (though my motivation isn't entirely political). Luckily, I was never a big enough fan of Growing Pains to care that Mike Seaver was in that wacko Left Behind movie.


All that said, I'm looking forward to hearing Rick Rubin's influence on the Dixie Chicks. The man knows music and the girls can play.
