Video: 'Dixie Chicks - Grammy's 07 - Record of the Year'
(Sunday, February 11, 2007, 8:00-11:00 p.m. EST) — After death threats, boycotts and a cold shoulder from the country music establishment over the group’s anti-Bush comments leading up to the Iraq invasion, the Dixie Chicks gained sweet vindication tonight at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, capturing honors in all five of the categories in which they were nominated including album of the year for Taking the Long Way.
They were the top winners during a night when the Recording Academy spread the wealth, even handing out ties in two categories, as it bestowed four awards on the Red Hot Chili Peppers and three on Mary J. Blige during ceremonies at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
