ABSTRACT
A Swedish product introduced in 1932 by the department store chain Ahlen and Holm. The disc was about eight inches in diameter at first; then in 1934 it grew to 10 inches and took the name Silverton. Most of the records were of Swedish dance orchestras. The final year of issue was 1944. [Liliedahl 1973.]
The Dixie Chicks are part of the youth brigade in 1990s country music, a movement that has placed as much emphasis on sexy good looks as on musical talent. The Chicks, however, are highly accomplished musicians-founding member Martie Seidel finished third in the 1989 National Fiddle Championships-capable of playing a wide range of styles, including folk, bluegrass, hard country, and adult contemporary pop.
