FRANK MICELOTTA / GETTY
TAKING THE LONG WAY by The Dixie Chicks
The incident, as they call it, took a commercial toll, but musically the Chicks have never been stronger. The instrumentation on their fourth album keeps a toe in country, yet the songs are the best kind of pop-smart, instantly memorable and fussed over until they sound effortless. Not Ready to Make Nice broadcasts their grievances, but Bitter End and So Hard (a sing-along about infertility) prove that complicated songwriting for the masses still flourishes.
