The Dixie Chicks, later rebranded to ‘The Chicks,’ have won five Grammys and nine Country Music Awards.

Their chart-busting major-label debut record, Wide Open Spaces, became the best-selling record ever by a country group.

Lynch served as the group’s upright bassist while Robin played on guitar and sisters Martie and Emily covered a variety of instruments.

The group would go on to release eight studio albums, two live albums, and 28 singles.
