Dixie Chicks, Sony close to deal
NASHVILLE (AP) -- After 10 months of legal wrangling,
the Dixie Chicks are expected to sign a new deal soon with Sony Music
Entertainment, according to Billboard magazine.
Sony has been home for the Texas trio for the past five years, but recent
rumors had the Chicks heading to Capitol Records.
Last July, the group's attorneys served Sony with notice that its contract
was terminated "by reason of Sony's material misconduct and material
breaches."

CAROLYN DAWN JOHNSON: MUSIC MAKES HER HAPPY
Carolyn Dawn
Johnson’s
childhood dreams are coming true. "I
remember asking my mother when I was young how anyone could live without
music," she
said. "Music
made me happy, made me cry; it soothed me. It did then and it does now.
Music still takes me to places nothing else can."
“I Don’t Want
You To Go,” the
third single from Johnson's Arista debut album “Room With A View,” is
currently at No. 14 on Bill- board's country singles chart. In the meantime,
Johnson has stayed on the road. When she finishes her current gig with Kenny
Chesney's "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" tour, she will join Alan Jackson
when his show heads out May 8. "I
have been a big fan of Alan's music since the beginning of his career,"
Johnson said.
"He is one of the reasons I set a goal to be signed with Arista Records ...
(and) being a
singer/songwriter myself, I've always looked to him as one of the artists in
our format who is able to consistently write and record great music.
Probably my favorite thing about Alan is that he is real and writes from a
real place."
