On June 25, 2020, the band changed their name to the Chicks, dropping “Dixie”,which referenced the American Mason–Dixon line, separating the free and slave-owning southern states. The name change followed criticism that the word had connotations of American slavery. The band pointed out that they had picked “that stupid name” as teenagers, and had wanted to change it for years; they said they were moved to change it when they saw the Confederate flag described as “the Dixie Swastika” on social media in June 2020. The band received the blessing of a singing duo of the same name from New Zealand to share the name. Alongside the name change, the Chicks released the protest song “March March” with a music video, in tribute to social justice movements. They also announced that they are now managed by John Silva.

Gaslighter is the eighth studio album by American country music group The Chicks (formerly known as the Dixie Chicks). It was released on July 17, 2020, through Columbia Records. The album’s title track was released as the first single on March 4, 2020, along with its accompanying music video. This is their first album in 14 years, and the first one to be released under their new name.

Tracklist:

1. “Gaslighter”
2. “Sleep at Night”
3. “Texas Man”
4. “Everybody Loves You”
5. “For Her”

Sobre a Obra:

Mataram um advogado há vinte e dois anos e, se necessário, matarão outro sem pensar duas vezes…

Na pequena cidade de Seabrook, no norte da Florida, um jovem advogado chamado Keith Russo foi morto à queima-roupa no seu gabinete. Era tarde e estava sentado à secretária a trabalhar. O assassino não deixou pistas. Não havia testemunhas, nenhum suspeito, ninguém com um motivo. A polícia depressa se focou em Quincy Miller, um jovem negro que tinha sido cliente de Russo.

Quincy foi preso, condenado e enviado para a prisão. Durante vinte e dois anos ali definhou sem advogado. Mas depois escreveu uma carta ao Ministério dos Guardiões, um pequeno grupo fundado por um advogado/pastor protestante chamado Cullen Post.

O Ministério lida apenas com alguns casos de inocência de cada vez, e Post é o seu único inves- tigador. Desloca-se pelo Sul a lutar contra condenações injustas e tomando nas mãos casos em que mais ninguém toca. Com Quincy Miller, porém, consegue muito mais do que esperava.

Keith Russo foi assassinado por gente implacável que não quer que Quincy seja libertado.
