After a few years away from the limelight and the Dixie Chicks, the two sisters were ready to get back into the studio with the creation of Court Yard Hounds. Amelita, out now, marks the Court Yard Hounds‘ second album.
Containing 11 new tracks, Robison and Maguire took a different approach with Amelita than their debut album in 2010. This album contains a new perspective, which is due in part to time passed since Robison’s divorce. “I’ve been freed of all of those time-heals-everything kind of things,” says Robison. “Now, I’ve opened up to other ideas and ways of looking at life and the world. I think it’s not only a more hopeful album, but it’s more… well fun.“
The Court Yard Hounds’ new album is a clear statement of who the girls are as artists, defining their sound as a band, with soaring songs that are personal, yet familiar and widely relatable.
I loved this new CD by Court Yard Hounds. I was excited to participate in this project and was not at all disappointed. The sound was a little different than what I expected but definitely an addition to my collection that I love. This is their second album – their first was called Sunshine. This is a great CD and even my kids love it. I encourage you all to check it out! On a five star scale I give it 4+ stars.
