Dixie Chicks Deliver New Monument Single www.rronline.com
In an unexpected move, The Dixie Chicks' new Monument single has been delivered to radio by Sony Music/Nashville. The new track, "Long Time Gone," was digitally delivered by DG Systems, beginning Thursday at 5pm ET, just hours before the trio debuted the song live on VH1's Divas Las Vegas. Nashville songwriter Darrell Scott is one of the writers on the song that will be the first single from the Chicks' upcoming album. The arrival of the new single apparently signals a close to the Chicks' legal battle with Sony Music over royalties from the group's two previous Monument albums, Wide Open Spaces and Fly, which have sold a combined total of more than 20 million copies. Monument has set a tentative release date of Aug. 27 for the Chicks' new album, to be titled Home.
