Shut Up and Sing (DVD)

Shut Up and Sing (2006). Controversy swirled around the Dixie Chicks after lead singer Natalie Maines told a London audience in 2003 that she was ashamed that President Bush was from Texas -- where the Chicks are from. Country music fans vilified the band, crushed and burned their CDs, and even made death threats. This movie takes a look at the three band members during the period from '03 to '06, how they dealt with the controversy and how it affected their lives. Probably best if you're a fan of the Dixie Chicks' music. Grade: B
