Dixie Chicks beat out stiff competition from Gnarls Barkley, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Justin Timberlake to win Best Album at the Grammy Awards last night. The Texas trio were successful in several major categories, which must have come as a big relief after the criticism they've endured in recent years following comments made in 2003 about US President George Bush. "I'm not ready to make nice!" lead singer Natalie Maines exclaimed when accepting the award.
