Watch: The Chicks perform 'Not Ready to Make Nice' on 'Jimmy Kimmel'
June 10 (UPI) -- Country music trio The Chicks took to the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The group, consisting of Emily Strayer, Martie Maguire and Natalie Maines, performed their 2006 single "Not Ready to Make Nice" on the ABC late-night talk show Tuesday.
"Not Ready to Make Nice" is the lead single from the Chicks' seventh studio album, Taking the Long Way, released in 2006. The Chicks appeared on Kimmel to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary.
The Chicks will further celebrate the anniversary with the Taking the Long Way 20th anniversary tour, which kicks off Sept. 30 in Detroit and concludes Nov. 2 in Los Angeles.
Taking the Long Way also features the singles "Everybody Knows," "Voice Inside My Head," "Easy Silence" and "The Long Way Around."
The album was the group's first following Maines' controversial 2003 comments about then-President George W. Bush. It won five Grammy awards, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for "Not Ready to Make Nice."
