Thank Heavens for Dale Evans
1990 studio album by Dixie Chicks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thank Heavens for Dale Evans is the debut studio album by American country music band the Dixie Chicks. The group's original membership of Robin Lynn Macy, Laura Lynch, Martie Erwin, and Emily Erwin (whose names were respectively changed to Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer upon marriage) would survive intact for only this album and the following Little Ol' Cowgirl, from 1989 to 1992, before first Macy, and then Lynch departed and Natalie Maines took over in 1995, creating the trio that became the highly successful band which found great fame in 1998 and remain popular with a large following to this day.
