"Gaslighter" is my favourite album of the year. "Gaslighter," "Texas Man," "Sleep at Night," and "Young Man" are the songs I go back to the most. I wonder if they will receive Grammy love for the album.

I agree. Best album of the year. Set Me Free, Sleep at Night and Young Man are absolute stand outs

Sleep at Night alone deserves some Grammy recognition!

"My Best Friend's Wedding" is truly amazing. The emotional rollercoaster the song takes you on is insane. They're such brilliant lyricists, musicians, composers, etc.

Also realizing they did not secure any Grammy nominations. Hard to believe such a well-received album was not recognized at all.

The lack of Grammy love hurts.
They went from sweeping all the general field categories to dust.

This album definitely deserved some nominations. I wonder if it has anything to do with switching genres and having a blend of sounds. Do they get nominated in country or pop?

The album rollout took a hit with the pandemic delaying its release and of course the group name change got more attention than the new music did.

I was also disappointed that there was nothing for them. But do we know for sure that they submitted the album and or songs for consideration?

Yes, the album was submitted to Country Album and Album of the Year. Gaslighter was submitted to Country Duo/Group Performance and Country Song. Sleep at Night was submitted to Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Oh well... Perhaps the lack of promotion given the covid crisis. Such a pity. Such a nice album.

Apparently when a band or artist changes names, it removes the ability to see their chart history on Billboard.com. That said, using the Wayback Machine and some Joel Whitburn books at my university library, I was at least able to gather the peak positions for each song on the various charts. In any case, The Chicks don't have a huge Billboard chart history outside of Country radio, though AAA finally gave them some love with "Sleep at Night." Unlike Shania or Faith Hill, The Chicks didn't crossover to AC or Adult Top 40. "Landslide" seemed to opening that door, but we all know what happened to their radio traction in 2003. {Billboard Radio Monitor} Song | Chart | Peak Position |

Kelly talks SO much. Felt like the chicks were just sitting there waiting to speak. Hope they make it to some other shows for additional promo.

I'm surprised they're still doing promo considering the album came out two years ago. Most album eras don't last 6 months these days let alone 2 years.

I saw the tour on Monday and it was amazing!!! {Spoiler}They played a loooooong setlist and nearly all the hits. "Ready to Run" and "Travelin' Soldier" were part of the dice game segment, but we got "Give It Up or Let Me Go" when the die was rolled.
10/12 songs from Gaslighter were played too but some deep cuts like "White Trash Wedding" and "Lubbock or Leave It" were also part of the setlist.
My favorite moments include shouting along to all the words in "Goodbye Earl," Natalie saying 'Want to hear something new???' before they launched into "Cowboy Take Me Away," and hands down the best - watching Ted Cruz and Vladimir Putin getting devoured by sea monsters in the background video during "Tights on My Boat."
The audience knew the words to a lot of the Gaslighter songs which I did not expect.

I wish I could have seen this tour too, but Iβm already travelling to see others so I wouldnβt have been able to make it work :( How was Patty Griffin as the opener?

Patty Griffin is an amazing writer and guitarist but she has not taken care of her voice. Her higher register is basically non-existent today, BUT with just her and one man as support, she still captivated a distracted audience with her set of about 10 songs. She also came out to duet with Natalie on "Don't Let Me Die in Florida"

Gaslighter is such a fantastic album. Underrated for sure. It's such a shame I feel it was overlooked because the break that preceded it was so big, but they always can be counted on for delivering absolutely brilliant albums. Love them always!
