Dixie Chicks Look for Spice With Chili Peppers

On their chart-topping 'Take The Long Way' album, the Dixie Chicks worked with a stellar cast of songwriters, including Sheryl Crow, Keb' Mo', Pete Yorn and ex-Crowded House genius Neil Finn. Having caught the collaboration bug, who would the Chicks like to work with next?

"Bob Dylan -- that's a given. And Bruce Springsteen," says Emily Robison.

Fellow Chick Natalie Maines seconds Springsteen, but she's got some eclectic ideas of her own. "Eddie Vedder would be cool. James Taylor, always. And Patty Griffin," she says.

One more band that might surprise some people: "Maybe the Chili Peppers," Maines says. "I think it'd be fun if we were all in the recording studio together."
