Shania Twain?

[Phil3]

Well.. I've never listened to her before. Picked up one of her albums in a bundle of cassettes from the Good Will the other day. Figured I'd see what her deal is.

I guess I'll update this thread when the album is over. "Come On Over" is the album title for those who wish to listen along with me.

Update after finishing side A:
Wholesome. I enjoyed it. There was a guitar solo that just kicked butt in one song. I think "From this moment on?"

Overall enjoyable. Wonder what Side B will bring.

Update after side B:
Side 2 wasn't as memorable. per-say. Man I feel like a woman was great. Like ZZ Top with a lady singer. I never knew who wrote that song "That dont impress me much" but now I do, which is interesting.

If you like any AC/DC past Highway to Hell, or Def Leppard past High n’ Dry, you should love Shania.

It was her, and this song, that welcomed me into Country Music appreciation back in the late 90’s.

 

[Frater B]

Just about every song on that album was a radio hit.

oh yeah, and Dann Huff and Brent Mason on guitar.

this! Mutt is/was a great producer every album he worked on was like a greatest hits!

 

[SushiPowPow]

She's a stunner. Her music is very enjoyable, as well.

I like how her producer before Mutt said something like he was eating lunch with a bunch of other producers in Nashville and he did not know who this Mutt guy was that was replacing him and he was joking about "What's a Mutt?". I think one of the other producers pointed out that Mutt was Mutt Lange who had sold more albums than all of them at the table combined.

My youngest child, Autumn, said she thought for the longest time that Back In Black was a greatest hits record.

 

[David MacNeill]

She’s so…dreamy!

Seriously, You’re Still The One is a great song, well sung — in my book anyway.

 

[Jollyb]

SOOOOOOOOO hot

 

[Phil3]

SOOOOOOOOO hot

yes.

I bet that dude is a forum member here.

I've always loved her and she just killed the top charts constantly.
Her story of over coming stage fright to make her comeback shows that it's not always as easy as it looks.

She's no wimp, either

In the early 1980s, Twain spent some time working with her father's reforestation business in northern Ontario, which employed some 75 Ojibwe and Cree workers. Although the work was demanding and the pay low, Twain said, "I loved the feeling of being stranded. I'm not afraid of being in my own environment, being physical, working hard. I was very strong, I walked miles and miles every day and carried heavy loads of trees. You can't shampoo, use soap or deodorant, or makeup, nothing with any scent; you have to bathe and rinse your clothes in the lake. It was a very rugged existence, but I was very creative and I would sit alone in the forest with my dog and a guitar and would just write songs."

[Strummerfan]

Not a country fan, but she's got a great voice and is a really good entertainer. I'm not sure if she writes her own stuff, but even for a genre I'm not into, I can see that the songwriting is spot on. A Canadian girl too!

 

[BadHat]

No. That's just country/pop dreck. Get you some Emmylou Harris.

 

[PatrickE_FenderADV]

Yes… objectifying.

 

[jogogonne]

Thanks for posting...takes me back to simpler times.

 

[Tone_Terrific]

A great formula at the right time.
Ticked off all the pop music boxes. Well done.
