"Silent House" - Dixie Chicks on "Austin City Limits" (video)

Natalie Maines explains at the top her Nanna has Alzheimer's and this song is for her.  She visits her Nanna's now silent house and this is what comes to her.



The Dixie Chicks strike such gorgeous harmonies together and they bring huge musicianship to their craft since all of them play.  Natalie Maines plays guitar although she does not play one in this song.  Martie Maguire plays either a fiddle or a violin depending on whether you're from the North or the South and she's damn good at it.  Emily Robison plays the banjo and she brings great skill to that as well.

The harmonies are what make them unique and part of that comes because Emily Robinson and Martie Maguire are sisters.
