The Chicks: Taking the Long Way in San Antonio

The Chicks bring their Taking the Long Way tour to San Antonio, a concert built around the Grammy-winning album of the same name. The album, released in 2006, marked a bold artistic statement for the group, addressing the controversy that followed Natalie Maines' remarks about President George W. Bush. Fans can expect a setlist that draws from this defiant record, including tracks like "Not Ready to Make Nice" and "The Long Way Around," alongside the band's classic hits.

The evening promises a mix of country roots and rock-infused energy, with the Chicks known for their tight harmonies and unapologetic stage presence. The album's collaborations with Sheryl Crow and Linda Perry hint at the musical range you might hear live. For those who appreciate music with a story, this concert offers a chance to experience songs that became anthems of resilience and free speech.

Set in San Antonio, this show is a chance to hear an album that topped the Billboard 200 and sold over 2.5 million copies in the U.S. The atmosphere is likely to be charged with the spirit of an album that sparked conversations and won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
