Release Date: TBD
Fourteen long years since their latest album Taking the Long Way, the Dixie Chicks are making a return with their fifth studio album titled Gaslighter.
During an appearance on the “Spiritualgasm” podcast, lead singer Natalie Maines revealed her ongoing divorce from actor Adrian Pasdar influenced the project.
“I had a lot to say. Songwriting is really hard for me, and I think for many years, I didn’t want to analyze my life or my relationship,” said Maines. “I was just in it and dedicated and devoted, and if I had started writing songs about it… I don’t want to say I was in a ‘survival mode,’ but I was just not ready to open up like that.”
