Court Yard Hounds

By Justin Brown ( Contact ) January 27, 2010

Emily Robison and Martie Maguire of the Dixie Chicks have recorded an album under the name Court Yard Hounds. If you're like me and thought, "Where did they come up with that name?", the band name is a reference to the novel, "City of Thieves."

The new CD was recorded mostly at Martie's home studio in Austin, Texas. It is scheduled to be released in May and will feature Emily on lead vocals for the first time, with an appearance from the Wallflowers' Jakob Dylan. The former "Chicks" sisters will be performing as this new duo at the South by Southwest music conference in Austin in March.

Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines will not appear on the album, but Emily and Martie emphasized to Rolling Stone that the Chicks have not formally parted ways.

Will this be the last of the "Dixie Chicks?"

Will Emily and Martie be getting cute little "puppy" tattoos now instead of little "chick" feet?
