4/365 Dixie Chicken

I came to Little Feat through a boyfriend (the music of a relationship may outlast all else). For my birthday, he gave me Time Loves a Hero, but I found Dixie Chicken all on my own. I could single out any song on the record, and might before this 365 game’s done, but the opening bars of “Dixie Chicken”—side A, track 1—immediately thrusts me into a world I’m not really from, even though a part of me believes that I am. When the Dixie Chicks named themselves after this song, well, I could only respect that.

I love your line "the music of a relationship may outlast all else"

I always wondered how The Dixie Chicks got their name. Now, I too, am brought to a new level of respect.
