Though GREATEST HITS doesn't include the two major singles from her 1993 self-titled debut, Twain has released so many hits that the 21-track disc is still overflowing with familiar chart-busters. Listening to these ubiquitous songs all in one stretch will leave listeners awed at the breadth of Twain and Lange's incredible talent for catchy pop ditties that sound cutting-edge while still retaining that ever-important hint of Nashville twang. In fact, though laced with the usual fiddles and steel guitars, many songs end up recalling ABBA and the Cars as much as anything south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Of course, the main attraction is always Twain's smoothly sensual voice, which has won over millions of fans worldwide. |

| | Artist Overview | | The ultimate Nashville outsider, Canadian Shania Twain (Eileen Regina Twain) took the country music world by storm with her second album, THE WOMAN IN ME. Famous for her midriff-baring outfits, Twain conquered the rest of the world with the 16-times platinum COME ON OVER, which brought her global pop success, a contract with Revlon cosmetics, and a Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year award. In 2002, Twain (along with producer/husband Robert "Mutt" Lange) made the unusual move of recording and releasing the album UP! in both country, pop, and world-music versions, revealing the full extent of her remarkable crossover status. |
