The Chicks are commemorating the 20th anniversary of their pivotal album, "Taking the Long Way," with a special reissue scheduled for release on October 2. This expanded edition will feature five bonus tracks, including a demo of the Grammy-winning "Not Ready to Make Nice" and the previously unreleased "Flowers."

Beyond its impactful messages, "Taking the Long Way" showcases the trio's exceptional musicianship, characterized by rich harmonies and skilled instrumentation. The Chicks will launch their "Taking the Long Way" tour on September 30 in Detroit, Michigan, performing the album in full each night.
The tour will conclude on November 3 in Los Angeles, with an additional date added at the Dolby Theater due to high demand. Fans can anticipate hearing the entire "Taking the Long Way" album, alongside other beloved fan favorites during the tour.
