At the outset, I believe it's only fair to divulge that, as a general rule, I don't care for Country music. That said, I really "dig" Shania Twain's hybrid of Rock & Country. In my book she's one of the most talented female artists around in this day & age!
The present album demonstrates her impressive range of skills in both types of songs as well as vocal abilities. Rock ballads such as FOREVER AND FOR ALWAYS & FROM THIS MOMENT ON are popular @ weddings. On the flip-side, songs such as WHOSE BED HAVE YOUR BOOTS BEEN UNDER? and HONEY I'M HOME are fun little jaunts.
UP! is a good song to listen to when you're feeling blue as it's meant to lift your spirits & convince you that this crazy life is not going quite so badly as you're inclined to think it is. It also "moves" nicely and reminds me of something that you'd find on A Collection of Roxette Hits: Their 20 Greatest Songs!. That's a good thing in my book!
I can't force myself to believe that Shania resembles the persona in ANY MAN OF MINE. Rather, it seems to me that Shania is poking fun (in a tounge-in-cheek sort of way) at all of the women wandering around who epitomize what Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally would categorize as "High Maintenance."
As a guy, I have to admit the obvious: Shania Twain is absolutely gorgeous. That said, I would've never bought her album on this fact alone. Unlike other stunning pop stars such as Britney Spears, Shania has an amazing talent & has some vocal nuances that few sopranos can imitate.
While I could be way off the mark, Shania's personality seems to shine though her songs. She seems like someone who would be great to go to a theme park & have fun with - and not JUST because she's a looker! That's my take, anyway.
So, if you're looking for a great string of songs written in a Rock / Country hybrid style, I'd can't recommend this album highly enough. The fact that the songs are sung by a lovely human being is an added plus!

As a new country fan, not familiar with much of her work, even though I am 52, I wasn't that impressed with the cd.
There were some nice songs, some pretty ballds, but there is nothing outstanding about her voice or songs to warrant one album selling 30 million copies.
Her voice is pleasant but she has no range or power at all.
My conclusion is her records were produced to appeal to the largest audience possible by being as bland as possible with somewhat risque lyrics.
Is she really a country artist? The only really country song I heard is the last one on the album. The rest are as much pop, disco or rock as they are country.
What exactly is her appeal aside from being very pretty?
Needless to say I will not be ourchasing her new cd if and when she ever gets around to recording one.

| This is the first Shania Twain CD that I have purchased, but I was very disappointed with the musical content. Probably will not buy any other Shania Twain CD's. |
