The Chicks have announced a 20th anniversary reissue of their Grammy-winning album 'Taking the Long Way.' The expanded edition will include a demo of the hit song 'Not Ready to Make Nice' and the previously unreleased track 'Flowers.'
The album, the trio's seventh studio release, came out in May 2006. It was the last record they made under their original name, Dixie Chicks, before shortening it to The Chicks.
The reissue celebrates two decades since the album's debut. 'Not Ready to Make Nice' was one of the album's standout singles and became a defiant anthem in the wake of the group's political controversy. The newly added demo offers fans a raw early take on that song, while 'Flowers' is a track that never made the original cut.
No release date for the anniversary edition has been confirmed yet. The Chicks built the announcement around the album's 20-year legacy, which earned them multiple Grammy awards at the time.
Fans of the band can expect the expanded collection to provide a deeper look into the making of a pivotal record in their career. The reissue adds fresh material to a project already known for its bold statement and musical range, giving longtime listeners a new reason to revisit it.
