Court Yard Hounds Video Exclusive

Court Yard HoundsThey're "country music's most recognizable sidewomen," the familiar faces who founded the Dixie Chicks ... with voices only heard on harmonies. Now, sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire are moving to a place they haven't been in years -- center stage, where the mic is all theirs. Court Yard Hounds is the name of the Texas natives' new duo, with new music due in May ... and without Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines.

"I don't think I could have done this five or 10 years ago with Martie," Emily confesses. "I would have been too timid, too shy ... Now, I think, if some people don't like it, that's fine. Even if we have just 10 percent of the people who reacted to us before, or only new fans, whatever it is ... we can make something of that."

The Court Yard Hounds have shared with The Boot an exclusive video that gives fans an intimate look into the start of their new venture. Check it out below, then visit their official website to pre-order the duo's debut album. A pre-order allows you to download four album tracks immediately and to jump in line for exclusive ticket offers for their spring tour.

Jim Kennedy You are really a moron and a creep. I am sure you are just envious of their talent and good looks. To wish someone ill will is so childish. I wish someone would take you out back and give you a lesson or two in manners and how to speak about people YOU do not even know!

The Dixie Chicks are one of the greatest bands of all times. They are talented and they are honest which puts them above politicians like George W. Bush among most of the others. Natalie Maines has more courage in her little finger than all of the politicians put together. She was right about the war in Iraq and and the politicians were wrong and that includes every Democrat and Republican in Congress who voted for that war. Instead of creating statues of war heroes we should be creating ones of people like Natalie.

Its a shame the Dixie Chicks are no longer making music. Huge loss for country music. While I never shared in Natalie's political views, that never stopped me from enjoying their music. They had more talent than any other group before or since. Not listening to them because they dont agree with war or because they dont like the president is just plain stupid and ignorant. I thought what made this country great was that they could express that without fear of consequence. Apparently I'm wrong.

I'll steer clear from the wacky political views because I am not lacking in the love department ;), but Courtyard Hounds? Ugh! There has got to be a better name.

Wow, so much hate ,it's just music! What happened to Natalie anyway? I don't keep up. So yes what she said was not cool, I didn't agree with her but I don't hate her, she is a very talented artist. I think they have all suffered enough by now. I'm sure they have felt it where it hurts, in the pocketbook. I think they should have kept the same name, really they aren't going to fool anyone!
