The Chicks – Celebrate 20 years of ‘Taking the Long Way’ with expended edition

Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment, is celebrating The Chicks and the 20th anniversary of Taking the Long Way, their five-time Grammy Award-winning album. The anniversary edition features unreleased bonus tracks and fan favorites. 
 
On October 2, Taking the Long Way (20th Anniversary Edition) will be available as a 3LP and available to stream. The 3LP Edition features five bonus tracks (three unreleased demos + two rarities), exclusive etching and refreshed cover art + packaging. “Thin Line” and “Live Wire” will be available to stream for the first time. 
 
“It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Taking the Long Way. These songs take us right back to one of the most defining times in our lives, and it’s incredible how much they still resonate today,” said The Chicks. “We’re so excited to finally share some unreleased tracks and to perform the entire album on this tour. It feels like the perfect way to celebrate this journey with the fans who have been with us every step of the way.” 
 
Originally released on May 23, 2006, via Columbia Records, Taking the Long Way showcased The Chicks – Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer – at their most fearless and vulnerable. The album features the critically acclaimed hit song, “Not Ready To Make Nice,” and earned The Chicks five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. 
 
The Chicks will launch their Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary USA Tour this fall in celebration of their record-breaking album and have announced additional dates including stops in Philadelphia at The Met on October 7, Boston at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on October 9, and a third show in Los Angeles at the Dolby Theatre on November 3.
 
Kicking off in Detroit on September 30, the trio will perform the groundbreaking album in its entirety for the first time, before closing each night with fan-favorite hits spanning their award-winning catalog. Tickets are available here.
