- Bob Wills - Jim Rob Wills was only ten years old in 1915 when he fiddled at his first dance there in Hall County, being called to fill in for his drunken daddy, also the son of a fiddler. It was the first of thousands of nights on stage over the next six decades. Jim Rob wouldn't realize until much later that playing that fiddle would be his true calling and the most basic element in his eventual Wall of Western Sound.

- Doyle Bramhall - Official website..."I was born on Fitchburg Street in West Dallas in 1949," Doyle Bramhall explains. "That was also where my music started. My family loved to listen to music and dance. My Uncle Lloyd played harmonica in big bands in Dallas.

In a genre dominated by Suburban Cowboys like Garth Brooks and Billy Ray Cyrus, they stand alone. The first all-female band to score a #1 hit, with There's Your Trouble, these ladies can actually play music, even if Martie and Emily's virtuoso string performances are sometimes hidden behind thick layers of generic studio music. But they're not a new group -- these Chicks have paid their dues. And they've gone through some changes. Haven't we all? What the Nashville marketing machine has chosen to ignore -- not surprisingly -- is the true history of the Dixie Chicks. By their own admission, the group is concerned about "confusion." But the current Dixie Chicks -- Natalie Maines, Emily Erwin, and Martie Seidel -- would not exist now if it were not for the Dixie Chicks of the past. It was Laura Lynch and Robin Macy, along with sisters Emily and Martie Erwin, who created the Dixie Chicks on a street corner in Dallas in 1989.
