Word on the street is that the two Dixie Chick sisters, Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, will call themselves the Courtyard Hounds now that they are Natalie-less.  But does this mean the end of the Dixie Chicks?  They say no.  Martie says, “Emily and I had the itch, and every time we’d call Natalie and say ‘are you ready?’ she wasn’t ready.  She wanted a clear-cut break.”  Though the sisters are not sure about the Dixie Chicks’ future, they still hope to make music as a trio again someday.
