A capella, without the histrionic oversinging that has become so common.

My Chicks story:

I was fortunate to see them on tour with James Taylor ahead of the 2004 election. Amazing concert! And I lucked out and got a front row seat! At one point Natalie tossed her guitar pick out at the audience and it came my way; I looked but couldn't see it in the dark. Turns out it was at my feet and somebody else picked it up as we were leaving.

This anthem version was the best I've ever heard. After all these years they are still phenomenal.
