My Take
Emily Strayer, née Robison, is the instrumental backbone of the Chicks, and I find her quietly remarkable. Out of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, she plays banjo, dobro, fiddle, mandolin, even sitar, the kind of multi-instrumentalist who can color any song. But what wins my admiration isn't just technique. When the Chicks were attacked for their politics, the band refused to bend, and that spine matters as much as the playing. A musician who pairs that much versatility with that much conviction is nearly untouchable. She reads as a sideline player but is really the band's load-bearing wall, and I love that craft.
