Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines To Release Solo Album Mother On 5/7/13

Rumors have been going for some time about the Dixie Chicks' future, and lead singer Natalie Maines announcement via Twitter that she'll be releasing a solo album called Mother will not rest any of those.

On Wednesday, Natalie tweeted: "Happy Natalie Maines Finished Her Album Day everybody!" The next day, she tweeted: "Good news! I made some calls and had them push the end of the world to sometime after the release of my album, #Mother 5/7/13.You're welcome."


The album name comes from a Pink Floyd song by the same name in which you can hear her perform in video embedded below. She spent the summer on tour with rock/pop artist Ben Harper who is also producer on her new album. The song will be included in the documentary about the West Memphis Three, "West of Memphis: Voices of Justice."
