Today ARIA winning singer-songwriter Fanny Lumsden joins me to
delve into a seminal record of both our youths - The Chicks’ final
country album, 2002’s ‘Home’.
We talk about the album’s forgotten origins in the midst of a legal
battle with the band’s record label, how they fused their bluegrass
background with contemporary country and pop songwriting, how they
used songs written by Patty Griffin, Darrel Scott and more to
communicate their point of view, how
Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Landslide’ was given a new lease on life
by its inclusion on this album, “show off songs” and how the album
influenced Fanny’s development as a young woman.
