416. Fanny Lumsden on The Chicks 'Home' (2002)

My Favorite Album with Jeremy Dylan

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.
