CourtYard Hounds

Sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison, two-thirds of the Dixie Chicks, are spreading their chicken wings and dipping their pouty little beaks into a new feed trough of their own. Today, the pair released an album on the Columbia label called Court Yard Hounds.

According to Billboard.com, Robison and Maguire first decided to record as Court Yard Hounds when Dixie Chicks lead vocalist Natalie Maines wanted to take time off and they were “itching to create some new music.” “She was happy for us that we were able to find an outlet for the stuff that I'd been writing,” Robison said.
The album includes acoustic, rock, country and folk influences. The Court Yard Hounds are even touring the U.S., doing the Lilith Fair, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and other shows. They will also be doing the talk show circuit, appearing on Good Morning America, Late Night With Jimmy FallonJimmy Fallon, Late Show With David Letterman, The View, The Ellen DeGeneresEllen DeGeneres Show and the Late Late Show With Craig FergusonCraig Ferguson.
