History
Shania Twain took country songwriting and gave it arena rock production, and the combination changed what a country record was allowed to sound like. Coming out of small-town northern Ontario, she worked with producer Mutt Lange on a sound where the fiddle and steel stayed in place but the drums, guitars and stacked vocal harmonies were mixed like a rock album. Come On Over went on to become the best-selling studio album ever made by a female artist. The songs work because the writing is blunt and funny: That Don't Impress Me Much dismantles a boastful man line by line, Man! I Feel Like a Woman! is a chorus built to be shouted, You're Still the One is the ballad that proved the formula could also sit still. Nashville purists objected loudly and the audience did not care. A long absence followed, caused by damage to her voice traced to Lyme disease, and the later records carry a lower, rougher instrument than the one on the nineties hits.
