3. "We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin' But the music ain't got no soul Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard They've got money but they don't have Cash They got Junior but they don't have Hank" These lyrics belong to the song "Long Time Gone". In 2002, which group criticized contemporary Country music with this song?

Answer: Dixie Chicks

The lyrical references are to Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams Jr. and Sr.

The Dixie Chicks released "Long Time Gone" as a single from their album "Home". It was originally written and released by Darrell Scott with no radio airplay success. The Dixie Chicks covered it and reached number two on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. They then crossed-over to reach number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it a Top Ten hit on both charts. Interestingly, the song criticizes contemporary Country music for not sounding enough like traditional Country music, but within a year or so the Chicks would abandon Country radio for more Mainstream radio, which is clearly less Country in sound. The choice was not theirs alone but rather a reaction to their feud with Toby Keith and the fact Country audiences turned on them because of it. Once the darlings of Country music, they became the pariah of the genre.
