Goodbye Earl. " Goodbye Earl ", written by Dennis Linde, is a country murder ballad. Initially recorded by the band Sons of the Desert for an unreleased album in the late 1990s, the song gained fame when it was recorded by Dixie Chicks on their fifth studio album, Fly.
Music video. The music video for "Wide Open Spaces" portrayed the Chicks in a Rocky Mountains setting, cavorting through wide open fields of wildflowers and the like.

Wide Open Spaces is the fourth studio album and the major label debut of American country music band Dixie Chicks. It was their first record with new lead vocalist Natalie Maines, and became their breakthrough commercial success.
