First off, I would like to thank God for giving me this wonderful life. I couldn’t ask for better. I would also like to thank Michael, for being my perfect match, I love you, my Dad (Homer), and my Mom for all their wisdom, love and support. Kim, for all of the above and for not killing me when I purposely crossed over the imaginary line in the car, all my friends and family, you’re the best. I want to thank everyone who had a part in this project, especially Blake who was my humor, and Paul who was my sanity, I love you both and can’t wait to do it all again. Most of all, Martie and Emily, you complete me. And finally my inspiration: James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Indigo Girls, Maria McKee and John Travolta.
-Natalie

Blake and Paul, what a team! Thank you for your hard work, long hours, and making this album the most fun, creative and inspiring experience I’ve ever had. To the one unconditional constant in my life--my parents--thank you for the years of lessons, coming to the shows, driving all those miles so we could pay to play, and teaching me that, instead of being the cheerleader, I should be the one in the game. I love you (oh...and thanks for letting me borrow your baggage for the song). Martie and Natalie, I can’t think of anyone I’d rather share this dream with. You are my best friends! Lastly, I’d like to dedicate my part of the album to my hero, my Grandma Erwin... ‘cause she’s the bravest ‘chick’ I know!
-Emily
_____________________________________________________________
To my Mom, I hope I can be a mother like you. Dad, thank you for giving me my passion for music. Farrell (my other Dad), I am one of your biggest fans, thank you for the stability in my life. Emily and Natalie--you are two of my favorite people on earth and I believe in you. To my precious family and friends, I hope this music moves you like it moves me! Most of all, I dedicate this project to the two loves of my life, Ted and Carter. You are my life.
-Martie

So many people to thank, so little space--We want to thank everyone at Sony and Monument for making us feel like part of the family. To our other family, Bobby and Tommy, thanks for putting up with all our _ _ _ _ on the road. We love you. Simon, Karen, and Susie, you work almost as hard as we do. Ha-Ha. Thanks to Paul and BLA, Scott Siman, everyone who played on this album--you made it fun and incredible, the songwriters--thanks for the great songs.
Special thanks goes out to Barb, Dick, Renee Fowler, Renee Grant Williams, Chris Rogers, Chip, Tony (coke boy), Jim Lauderdale, Jeff Humphrey, Tom Van Schaik, David2 and Stage Right Audio, Gibson Guitars, La Bella, Johnny Thorn, all our fans, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and all the booking agents that helped us move indoors. To our fellow road rats: ‘Would you rather...?’ Thank you Carthage! P.S. Thanks to the aardvark. Without whom we wouldn’t be here.
-The Chicks
