Come On Over

Following her smash hit THE WOMAN IN ME was no easy task for Shania Twain and husband/producer Mutt Lange. With COME ON OVER the sexy vixen of modern country has carved out a bigger niche for herself that is sure to please her growing throng of fans. With a huge helping of rock and roll added to her country trimmings, Twain proves her success has been no fluke. As a rule, she goes out of her way to break the traditional Nashville mold. Even her songwriting skills are at the forefront; Shania and Mutt co-wrote all the songs on this collection. (kompletten Text anzeigen)

Sounding like a disciple of Linda Ronstadt and Tina Turner with a dash of Tanya Tucker, Twain launches into country-club rockers like "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!", "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)", and "Rock This Country!" with a fervour. A guest shot by singer Bryan White adds a touch of drama to the powerful "From This Moment On". Top-40 flavoured tunes abound on the rest of the disc including "Love Gets Me Every Time", "If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!", and even the country-fied hip-hop of "Honey, I'm Home". Finally, the acoustic ballad "You've Got A Way" adds a soft touch to round out the set.
