The Dixie Chicks Look Ahead To Next Project

09/25/2002

The Dixie Chicks' Home album was worth the wait for the trio, as they set records with their sales numbers during the project's release week last month. While the band's second single from the project, "Landslide," sits at Number 16 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart this week, Chick Martie Maguire is already getting into the mode of writing songs for the follow-up album.

Maguire told LAUNCH, "I'm inspired to write again and write with these two (Natalie Maines and Emily Robison) and we've been writing a little with Sheryl Crow and some Nashville songwriters have come down to Austin and written with us. So, I think it will maybe have more originals. I felt like we didn't have time to really write for Home, we were busy taking a year off. I think when Emily's done with her baby, I know I want to focus a lot more on writing."

Maguire's fellow Chick Natalie Maines is not so close to beginning work on a new album project. She told LAUNCH, "I haven't even gotten that far, I have no clue. Things come to me like, 'This is what we have to do,' so, I've got no idea."

Maguire and Maines collectively co-wrote five songs on Home.
