Chicks Revive Fiery Anthem on Jimmy Kimmel Live

The Chicks recently took the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform their acclaimed song "Not Ready to Make Nice." This performance served as a significant celebration for the 20th anniversary of their Grammy-winning album, Taking the Long Way, which was released in 2006.

The trio, clad in red, delivered a moving rendition of the anthemic track, accompanied by a full band and a string section. The song itself was a powerful response to the group facing professional repercussions for their critical remarks about President George W. Bush and the Iraq War.

To further commemorate the 20th anniversary of Taking the Long Way, The Chicks are set to launch a 16-show tour this autumn. The tour will feature stops in cities such as Detroit, Chicago, New York, San Antonio, and conclude in Hollywood, California. Notably, these performances will be held in intimate theater venues.

In 2020, The Chicks released their latest album, Gaslighter, their first since Taking the Long Way after a 14-year hiatus and a name change. The group continues to be vocal, with Natalie Maines recently making a public statement regarding U.S. tax dollars.
